bloc returns to butlins in 2015

[Orang Utan]

I never have problems sleeping...although not been to a weekend for aaaaages.

I can only sleep if I'm totally sober, very drunk, or on Valium (which I only dare take once in a blue moon), but I have no idea how one can sleep in such a noisy place. Which is why I can't do festivals unless I'm constantly munted.

you can't hear the music in the chalets

You can hear the chalet parties! They're more mental than the actual event itself. In fact, I would venture to say they are better than the actual event itself.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

Faaaack that lineup. Would go for AE alone...

 

[Fez909]

Just bought a ticket. Fuck it was expensive

Anyone else defo going??

 

[Farmer Giles]

Got a 4 berth Gold chalette.

 

[free spirit]

Fuck it, just booked a chalet.

Now rounding up the rave possie.

 

[Farmer Giles]

Get thy fuck in.

 

[free spirit]

last time we went I think we had 3 chalets... well I say we, me and a mate blagged in as paying guesties with keith tenniswood on the saturday after heading down on the first train after our club night the night before, then eventually found somewhere to rest our partied out heads around 5am Monday morning in ANdy weatherall's (now empty) room.

might be a bit less rock and roll this time..... or maybe not.

I'm going to have to take at least 3 days off afterwards.

 

[Farmer Giles]

Yep, booked 3 days off afters as well. The 1st being in a nice local hotel with soft sheets etc., and not endangering the public by driving home straight away.

that sounds like a plan. I got the train last time.

hmm, it appears to be the other side of the country to where I thought it had been last time I went.

 

[William of Walworth]

I'm am old veteran lightweight who can only keep on keeping on some of the (part)-time, but bolded bit?

Major part of the attraction. Man!

 

[retribution]

They've released the stage lineups:

Vagabondz

 

[Onket]

Good to see Numbers running a stage.

 

[killer b]

The crack lineup is the one on that eh? Nice.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Damn that looks good.

 

[free spirit]

I have no idea who most of them are, bit odd that the likes of radioactiveman, billy nasty etc don't merit a mention on the poster despite the fact they're playing.

Then again I'm probably just waaaay too old for this sort of thing. Bet I'm still one of that last on the dancefloor come sunday though.

 

[free spirit]

It's looking like I really can't make it, so if anyone wants a 4 berth silver chalet for below cost, give me a shout asap as tickets need to be validated with names etc on Monday.

 

[Farmer Giles]

Boo news FS. Will ask about.

 

[ska invita]

dont forget mothers day you bad children

 

[Brixton Hatter]

wooo, I'm in.

Can't wait. Don't get to go out much these days. The line up is sick but I'm also looking forward to a blissful, baby-free lie-in….three days in a row, whoop!

I'm all in for the techno (Mills, Rob Hood, Advent, Ben Sims, Autechre) but well up for checking out some of the 'new school' I've never seen before….any recommendations people?

Also looking forward to seeing Omar S, who I'm a big fan of but have never seen - deep, spacey techno/house - recommended

[Orang Utan]

Don't forget to call your mums on Sunday, Bloccers! LOL at the thought of nogged up phone calls to confused mums.
(Perhaps lay off the ket)

 

[Boycey]

Brixton Hatter - i fully second all of orang utan's suggestions, particularly objekt, randomer and second storey (used to make some really nice electro as al tourettes). Also worth sticking your head in for call super
