I intend to shit people up.
I am
and have also never been before.
WOW COINCIDENCEOMGZ????!!!111!
Me too!
Diver have you sorted out our train tickers yet?! :)
shut up about them!
NO!
BOOK 'EM BIATCH!
i'm going
not a massively great line-up but i like the truck atmosphere so i'm excited.
i am
truck is always fun no matter what.
Diving Bell
If you play 'Since You Been Gone' by Rainbow, I'll dance for you all night.
when and where is Diver playing?
hmmm?
I know its around 11am on the Sunday apparently
Ouch...
I am
and I have been before. Am I out of place?
i'm stewarding
which gets me free rotary club goodies and a sense of enormous well being.
^
so am I... I have no idea wtf Im doing though, guess Ill find out tomorrow.
i got an email from deborah bennett
a couple of days ago, with shift times/locations and such. chase it up if you haven't got it!
no worries
my mate seems to be organising It all. So he had better of got It and sorted It all haha!
stewarding ftw
Yup
Couldn't make the rescheduled one last year after the flood debacle, so much looking forward to this one :-D
never been to truck
so this should be a good laugh. wish i went 3 years ago, line up looked immense. Is it an expenssive weekend? It can't see it being anything like the major corperate festivals as this Is all set up by locals right? How much do you normally take?
doughnut money.
that's all you need.
are you dj-ing
in the disco shed?
it NOT expensive
hurrah!
yeah not dirty rip-off like most festies that trap you and steal your money in xchange for stinky barrel scraping burgers...
yum scrum the vicars sweetie stall...
WOOOOOOOO
TRUUUUUUUUUCK
im going
let's hang like broz
or
dance like bros
*dance to Bros
Question
I haven't been to Truck since 2004 and my memory is sketchy, what's the ground like there when it rains? I'm not planning on taking wellies at the moment, I don't seem to remember it being too bad given that we only had showers rather than an all-out deluge. At Glastonbury even a light shower makes wellies essential, but I'm thinking Truck will be OK. Should I reconsider? It's just that I'd have to actually go and BUY the wellies you see.
...

I would
also like to know the answer to this question.
Because its been dry for a week or so here. And today is the only proper rain forecast so I was hoping it would be ok to get away woth trainers. Sturdy, shitty old trainers obviously.
A couple of years ago
there was a proper torrential rainstorm that lasted a couple of hours and made life difficult in a couple of areas but it was nothing careful walking couldn't handle.
the weather forecast looks dry
I'm hoping it will all be alright.
no it doesn't
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2935
just take wellies anyway
better to have them and not need them than to need them when you don't have them.
At 2000 Trees last week they were essential and that's a tiny festival (about half the size of Truck i think) where you might have expected the ground not to get churned up and all muddy like
come to dance class!
run by panther girls (myspace.com/thepanthergirls) in the piney pavillion on Sunday about 4pm
you'll learn a dance to do in the piney gir set later in the day....
the dancers got on stage last year but not sure how big this stage is!
Yeah, I suppose
I was just hoping I didn't have to. I've been twice before and I didn't have wellies either time I don't think.
What time does the doors open lovelies?
Also anyone going done on the Friday?
I'm buying my wellies today.
also,

Are we going to run into each other at some point over the weekend? I have a good record of completely missing everyone at festivals.
i hope we literally run into each other
shit
it is! i just realised it's an anagram!
Ooh, actual stage times
I don't understand that stuff on the Truck site about how "as usual we won't be providing a full line-up", because they issued a full line-up followed by about three revisions before this time last year. I want to know what time to get there, dammit!
I don't either
I'm sure they've always put the line up/times out before cos I remember making up timetables in excel!
people need to know in advance what's what!
Ok
...think I'm gonna be camping out next to the Vacous pop stage! Looks wicked!
looks like
no cobra or skullthrash this year
the bands that made truck for me two years ago.
sunday...
is no longer metal day in the barn, thank fuck!
good choice!
and the rain forecast yesterday and today still hasn't come!
i'm hopeful it's gonna be ok weatherwise!
its going to be awesome
i keep spying bands i didn't see previously every time i scan the line up, its looking great so far. vacuous pop line up is ridiculously good
