Apologies for being a game giver, (I would put an embarrassed face on this sentence for being a narc but cant seem to find it?)notez_ wrote:Don't give the game away jack!jackquinox wrote:Security has got tighter over the last few, I was searched by security in the venue a few times when I was just rolling cigarettes and got searched going in numerous times as well but the chalets are so close by anyways, same goes for booze I would just leave it in the room, only takes 5 minute to jog back, no point in getting chucked out for a 5 minute walk.Etches828 wrote:Another question. How strict are they on the ol' pharmaceuticals.
and whats the deal with alcohol? is it like other festivals where you can't really take your own into arena's and stuff?
Security into the arena is very strict, felt like going through customs last year and you will get searched at least once...i hit 5 times but maybe i just look dodgy.
In the chalet area it's much more relaxed and your own private space is respected and we didn't get bothered last year. Smoked in our little flat through the whole weekend last year without the fire alarm going off as well which was wicked. Thought we would whack a condom over it when we arrived only to realise when we were leaving that it was split..probably for most of the time.
Flying Lotus' set is still the best live performance i have ever experienced, blew me away. Came away with enough funny stories and had an incredible time last year. Coming this year no matter what!
I would agree 100% the chalet is your own private idaho, aslong as you dont trash it (many a time the police get called and some ones credit card inevitabley gets maxed for that one, see this happen everytime), also agree Fly Lo last year was great, loads of people going nuts, also modeselektor where fantastic live and they are playing again this year so would highly recommend seeing them.
