Dour Festival

[Biddlybee]

my little bro is trying to persuade me to come... does look quite good

 

[perplexis]

i've liked the look from the beginning, but nobody will come with me. and spending my birthday alone, in belgium, at a festival, seems a bit sad somehow.



(((tb)))

indeed!
I don't think I'll be able to persaude anyone I knwo to come either. Which is lame. I'm sure good times could be had nonetheless though.

Maybe one can make an Urban massive...

[art of fact]

the new additions to this line up make it in my opinion the best festival line up of the summer by far...

[Dubversion]

wow.. not bad at all!

 

[tastebud]

oh man. i want to go to this so so so much. i need new friends!

pleeeeeease someone...?

 

[art of fact]

come with us if you like there is a crew of about 15 or so going from my lot im sure you would fit right in and meet people along the way

 

[Dask]

Would love to come to this, but am going to be in Serbia for Exit.

 

[tastebud]

come with us if you like there is a crew of about 15 or so going from my lot im sure you would fit right in and meet people along the way

it's a definite possibility

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Yeah it's a possibilty i'll be able to scrape together some of my meagre income for this, the lineup looks superb and all for £60.

 

[May Kasahara]

I feel a little bit faint looking at that line-up. Must go!

 

[maes]

this looks fantastic... wanna go next year. woo

 

[tastebud]

come on! what about this year?

 

[perplexis]

I still REALLY want to go to this festival... The line-up is awesome. The Dalek Gods & Griots project sounds amazing and isn't happening anywhere else. So much good electro. Venetian Snares, Sickboy, Kid606. Oh my gosh.
and it's so damn cheap!

 

[May Kasahara]

Tickets booked!

Woo and hoo!

*faints*

 

[damnhippie]

ohhhh that line up is brilliant...wish i could go.

and brujeria - jesus! who's even still in them?

 

[tastebud]

i think i will book a ticket for this. going alone wouldn't be so bad actually. and then i'm bound to run into a couple of the people on here who said they were going.

it's worth it simply for kentaro alone... never mind the many, many other great acts!

 

[May Kasahara]

Yay! It will be fun trying to meet up with the scattered Urban krewe

 

[perplexis]

Argh, I wanna go really badly... but I think I'm meant to be going to Innipukinn in Iceland like 2 weeks later. Argh, no money.
And no-one to go with.
Tastebud- you have balls of steel (figuratively, obviously), I don't think I could handle rocking up to a festival alone. Maybe I should grow some balls of my own!

 

[art of fact]

were going in a 20 man crew and ive seen on a few forums alot of people are going from the UK... should be a messy one.

 

[perplexis]

OK, I'm going to go. The line-up is unmissable.
It whizzes all over Glade.

 

[May Kasahara]

Huzzah!

Of course, we'll be old hands at meeting up at foreign festivals by then

 

[perplexis]

Huzzah!

Of course, we'll be old hands at meeting up at foreign festivals by then

Heh! yay!
Looking forward to this Euro-festival cycle!
If I make it to Iceland as well I'll be pretty amazed

 

[May Kasahara]

I beat you to it

So come on then, who is actually going to be there apart from perplexis, mrs perplexis, me and Mr K then?

 

[perplexis]

well done. I got distracted by the bandwidthz thread...
Us four, and Art of Fact is going with a huge crew. Excellent.
So, who's been before and wants to share tips?

 

[art of fact]

me, kolonel k, boing!, raahhhh, half_eaten_arm + 10-15 are going... none of us have been before but ive heard it gets really hot and dusty from a couple of forums...

 

[Moggy]

How exactly did this completely pass me by?!

Would have probably been up for it if i'd known sooner

Something to do next year then

 

[perplexis]

Yeah, I heard hot and dusty, but the organisers have been saying they sowed loads of grass this spring to help overcome this. And they're expecting it to be wet anyway, so the dust shouldn't be a problem...
I'm going to get myself some serious rain gear. That way it probably won't rain and I'll be well pissed off at having lugged a load of unnecessary extra shit over there

 

[May Kasahara]

Pacamacs at the ready!

 

[perplexis]

I was considering wellies, and waterproof overtrousers as well...
Started to get very excited about this!
The running orders are up now. There are many clashes. But that was to be expected...

 

[May Kasahara]

Cocking bollocks

Hot Chip vs Nomeansno vs Converge

Not so bothered about Converge, but Mr K will be GUTTED. I was looking forward to a second chance at seeing Hot Chip, but that's out the fucking window. Arse!

Reckon I'm going to be parked in the La Petite Maison dans la Prairie area between 3.45pm and 10pm on Saturday...
