everyone owns a coat
even tramps
my coat got lost
maybe a tramp stole it
a similar thing happened
to my belt made out of jump leads.
why do you care?
you're not camping. wuss.
i have to BE OUTSIDE ALL DAY
and i had all my outfits planned and now I HAVE TO CHANGE THEM.
you're SUCH a piece of hipster trash
xx
i think yr the only person in the world that thinks i'm a hipster
i wish more people did
Planning outfits!
I go by the weather the day before/the morning
that's a bit annoying
looks like i'll need to wear my rubbish wellies that destroy my socks!
maybe
if i ignore the bad weather it will actually be good weather?! i've lost my wellies. rubbish. cheap welly options anyone?!
there were loads of garish ones in matalan today
IN THE SALE.
oooh garish.
is there a matalan in manchester? may go with primark. ugh, post-work primark crowd *shudder*
i think manchester primark is the worst primark ever
and i hate all primarks, so, youknow, that's pretty bad.
i dunno if there's a matalan.
now now,
it's not that bad! just very very busy. 99% of the time. sometimes it's a necessity though.
ooh, and does anyone know where i can get a cheap blow up mattress? (yes, i am a wuss who does not much like sleeping on the ground)
argos
argos
i'm on it!
comfort ahoy! sheesh that was bad.
you can use it as a boat too when the campsite floods...
yes,
hence the 'ahoy!'. oh dear i have silly mental images of floating around the campsite now...
also still trying to convince someone to drive there with me and share petrol. that hasn't gone so well. i'm not really crazy.
find a water route
and sail there on your mattress.
Go to the camping shop on Oldham Street
it's pretty cheap in there
really?
wellies always looked overpriced. will check it out though. why exactly do i always leave this til just before a festival?
I would've gone with
Rail thunder and lightning myself
i'm glad you made this
because i wanted to moan about the weather. i've already moaned to everyone at work about it.
my only boot options are to borrow bloody LEOPARD PRINT wellies off a friend. it's not a good option.
i think im just going to take a different pair of plimsoles and socks for every hour
i dont really 'do' practical.
snap
also, i live in manchester. i'm used to rain. i spend most of my life walking around in impractical shoes that let water in. FUCK YOU WELLIES.
exactly!
canvas pumps for all weather. at least they dry quick. and they're cheap. and come in so many colours...i'll be quiet now...
YES, EXCEPT
i just decided i'm going to take back my sandals and get some new brogues. FUCK YEAH. EAT THAT RAIN, YOU BASTARD.
i think daniel might be right about me
because i'm literally sitting here going omg i am NOT wearing wellies.
"might"?
dyou know how happy being "hipster trash" makes me??
it's all i aim for
ALSO
it's probably going to be too hot to wear a coat. it's going to be warm and wet. THIS IS THE WORST WEATHER EVER. i'm in a terrible mood.
OH FUCK
i hadn't even thought about that. i am just going to be soaked and a mess, if i accept that now then the weekend will be easier.
this is what i went for
go team us.
as opposed to your normal mood
that brings sunshine and joy into the lives of people everywhere?
obvs
that's why you keep hounding me, right?
"hounding"
don't be mean to yourself, you're not a dog xx
i'm gonna say
'THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE' because i don't know if it does or not because i'm not clever enough to tell.
guntrip instils joy into everyone's hearts
Something about three of the four stages having roofs
But
it's still a fucker. In the cause of indiepop or not, I don't want to die struck by lightning in the ground of a railway museum.
However
you will not need wellies. Trust me.
I'm not sure how safe the new outdoor stage or the food and acoustic marquees will be, mind.
that sounds like the most indie twee way of dying EVER
:(
It's fucking annoying
I'm going to SGP rather than Indie Tracks but still, ruddy annoying...
wish i was going to this
:-(
you all stink
Well, come, then
you enormous puff.
too poor
toooooo poooor
i'll just sit in at home and cry for a bit. i imagine it'll be somewhat like the festival in a way.
except
i'll be buying indiepop CDRs from canada while i'm doing it.
your tears are like the rain
also, i'm too lazy to find this out...
what are the rules about taking drinks and food onto the festival site? i want to make stupid vegan packed lunches for my friends.
simon posted the FAQ over on the festivals board
you can't take alcohol onto the festival site. can't remember about food.
i stalled at the part where it said,
"Anybody is free to perform in the acoustic area. Bring along an instrument and sing a few songs!"
OMG. WHO WANTS TO SING SOME SONGS WITH ME??
fine i'll do it on my own
I'll do it
wicked
learn the words to the chorus on the second song on here!!??
http://www.myspace.com/internetforever
send me them in a PM?
I'm in.
you're only allowed to drink
ribena, kia-ora and um bongo.
and tea
Shouldn't be a problem taking food
Apparently there'll be a donut van.
forget the packed lunch
im eating donuts for lunch and dinner
Surely they could have come up
with a better name for this festival
like, indietrax
i think that would have been better
the 'x' makes it look edgy.
indietraxxx
C86, steam trains and porn.
I'm going to wear my awesome new cowboy boots all weekend
if it rains. They've got EAGLES on. Laura, you can bring in food but not alcohol, and you can bring sealed soft drinks.
fankoui
:(
oh wait, i'm not going at all :'(
i am soooo excited!
Are you coming?
Fucking SCORE.
i am!
yay!
yay!
let's dance.
lets!
it'll be like drownedintwee!
Fuck
My wellies are at my parents' house, about 100 miles away. Oh well.
i was supposed to be goingi
i have tickets and everything. but camping sold out and we don't really have enough money to pay our way for the weekend anyway :'(
i was supposed to be playing in the middle ones' band as well. EVERYONE GO AND SEE THE MIDDLE ONES!
there's camping next to Butterly Station
for £10 a night, apparently.
STEVE!
find out about this ^ and come. COME COME COME. it'll be at least 7 x better if you're there.
can't really afford it
i dunno. also, we'd have to leave on sunday afternoon because i have work on monday at 8am!
Take the morning off
/call in sick
that wouldn't really help
the me being really poor thing :D
if someone can find info about this campsite next to butterly station, that'd be useful. google isn't helping at all.
actually, don't bother
we definitely can't go and it'd be silly to even attempt to.
*cries*
:(
agh. ohh :'(
but ten quid a night camping...hmmm
are you going?
it's not just the camping, it's food and train fares and we'd need to buy a tent too. it'd probably cost £100 for both of us which is £100 we don't really have!
lame.
:(
i hadn't quite realised that the train fares were going to double the cost.
they did.
i hadn't thought it thought.
Oh that sucks
Do you drive? if so, sleep in the car maybe?
rain
that's pretty indie
I AM SO EXCITED!!
has a DiS meet up been mooted yet?
an internet board meetup at the nerdiest festival ever? WINNER
real answer: a bunch of us are camping together i think. gimme a call?
AWE-SUM.
I'm going down on the Saturday morning so will deffo call.
dear dis: pls don't have any fun in the campsite
i don't want to miss out, thanks.
It's alright
I'm not going. There'll be no sex. Or drinking, or any kind of fun or debauchery at all.
lol
those are qualities i usually bring too so yeah they are gonna be SO BORED.
I nominate me and Charlotte to take on your roles.
despite the quality of the replacements
i just don't think it will be the same, never mind.
Let It Be
LOL
I forgot I stopped drinking.
I take the offer back.
Just do the other things more to compensate
and laugh at my The Replacements joke please.
That is quite a good joke.
Sex and fun it is (y).
