the big picture posted earlier in this thread!
think i might get down to the numbers vs swamp boat early and stay there for the duration. shame because there are so many others id like to see but all of the talk of queues is not good
Thanks. I'm a cock.
I can see a lot of people staying for the duration once they get on the boat. Really not sure how to play it...!

I'm gonna avoid the boat mostly I think. Lots of great stuff in there, but all DJs I've seen many times before. Would love to see the Joymaster thing though.
With any kind of festival though, I always end up forgetting all plans as soon as I get through the gate.

Aha, couldn't see this from work!
FUCK
I might blow out Snoop Dogg to see Boddika, but I probably won't. I saw Snoop at Glastonbury the other year and it was ridiculously fun!
Drugs definitely look necessary.
Pinch if I make it out on time. Deadboy if I manage to get a half day.
Nicolas Jarr
Digital Mystiks
Doom
Snoop Dogg/Boddika
NUMBERS UNTIL I DROP

I was interested in going to to this with a mate, but then i saw the price and realised i couldn't see both Amon Tobin and Mystikz. So allow it.

Right! Quick heads up to ninjas for a mate of mine.
Guy I know has had some horrid bad luck resulting in him not being able to make bloc. Hes gutted enough, but his skintness I think makes it hurt double! Im trying my best to sell his ticket on for him. Hes not hoping to take too much of a hit on the price, but hes happy to let it go cheaper than you can get it from bloc. If anyone hasnt got a ticket yet and fancies getting one a bit cheaper for £95 you would also make my mate a very happy(er) man! He would go lower I think if he had to, but its still £15 or so cheaper than the shops, and its no worries transferring e-tickets. Theyre not locked down to a name, so I can just forward you the e-ticket and youre on your way to bloc!
Would be gold if anyone is/knows anyone who still hasnt got a ticket. Drop me a pm if anyone knows anyone at all! Cheers!

I need to get a plan on for this! I wanna see Xhin, but Ive never seen Mosca for some unknown reason, its a shame they only get like an hour each mainly, cos if you split it you only get half an hour of each, but I spose it is a festival.

Yeah Hawtin's actually sick live, wasn't planning on watching him but ended up catching him at Sonar and i enjoyed myself quite a lot.

I think this is pretty much going to be the same for me*, though I'll definitely go for Mosca I think.
*now I've made plans, I bet I end up not seeing a single thing on that list

someone told me that the capacity of the boat is only 800 so might be major queues getting on it

guys, this is at the london 'pleasure gardens'. stay away from this venue at all costs. Went there at the weekend and its surely a joke. There isn't even any grass, just a dusty concrete industrial wasteland. There's broken glass and nails everywhere. Everything is horrificly expensive and no good.
Save yourself some money and avoid.

So its in warehouses and has the vibe of a proper old warehouse party (glass/crack/smack/used needles), but because they're charging for tickets and beers, it should be avoided?!
Solid logic.
