Bloodstock Open Air 2009 anyone?

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

Blooming 'eck that is expensive!
We need to air our tent out - usually smells pretty bad.
We put the gazebo up last month as we were determined to have a BBQ and it looked like it might rain. Even the gazebo had that post-festival storage smell to it! lol

[EmsyHammer]

i bloody love BBQ, need to get a couple for this year too!

i hate the post festival smell, and when you find something you left in from last year isnt good either!

im so glad we have a shiney new tent, and it has a seperate "garage" piece as we call it so you dont have to sit in the tent all the time!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

oooh! Is it sad that I find new tents exciting? haha
Our tent is mashoooive big enough for my boy to stand upright in it and he is 5ft11. And we have a rather lovely porch bit on the front which when it's raining will accommodate up to 10 people with chairs in it! (It's a bit cosy but possible)
Are you going down on the Thursday or Friday?
I think we're aiming to get there for 2pm on the Thursday.

[EmsyHammer]

well we are driving from Dundee at 9am (ish) and hoping to be there about 4 the same day on Thursday.
we usually do a pit stop in Manchester at my parents house but because its close to Bloodstock we cant be bothered we will do it on the way back.
need to sort my outfits out for it need to make sure im prepared weather wise!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

Golly that's a long drive!
I hope the weather this year is better than the last two - although I have a feeling it wont be. I bought wellies and a waterproof jacket for last years. I learnt from the mistakes of 07...

[ShadowThrone]

From reading this, I have realised I am not at all prepared

[EmsyHammer]

OMG 4 WEEKS!!!

roll on pay day!!!!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

I've just worked out I can buy all of my provisions from Sainsburys using my Nectar points
It's working out quite cheap is this years festivals.

[EmsyHammer]

haha, we have some tesco vouchers saved up might put them to some use!

i found out last year at BOA they clipped your wristband when you came in with a crate to show you have aready been in with one, i hope its not like that this year! and its supposed to be fabric wristbands too so it would be harder to clip, i hope!!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

To be fair we had our wrist bands hole punched and we still managed to get in more beer that we were supposed to have.
Didn't know the wrist bands were going to be fabric though! This makes me happy!

[In_The_Branches]

I found I could slip my hand out of the old wristbands and keep the wristband intact! Could have snuck someone in if I wanted to :p
And it's pretty easy to sneak in extra booze, especially liquor.
I had the most awesome weekend last year and am hoping for the same this year

[EmsyHammer]

i always find because i have quite big boobies i can get a 70cl bottle of vodka or a large jager or even a bottle of sailor jerrys under them (not all at the same time might i add lol)
i just hate the rule!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

That is quite impressive
Three weeks tomorrow... *excited*
I hope the weather pics up, however I do have a rather snazzy pair of wellies that only seem to get brought out at BOA

[EmsyHammer]

i have knee high Dr Martens so i should be ok in the suitable footwear front!

i bought a skirt off a girly on the forums but that was two weeks ago and she isn't replying to my PMs and i want to have it for Bloodstock.

and yay Malefice have been announced!

[In_The_Branches]

Emsy, have you asked round on the forums if anyone has heard from her? If you say who it is, someone may know why she's not replied. And if they don't, at least she's been named and shamed and wont be able to do it again?

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

That's a bit pants Emsy! Hope it gets sorted for you in time!

[EmsyHammer]

yeah i was going to ask in general chat etc. I checked to see if she had been on in her profile thing, she has been on but probably not checked her PMs.

test run on the tent this weekend!! don't want to struggle getting back in the bag though

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

We were supposed to air out our tent on Tues but it was raining
I'm getting rather excited now heh

[EmsyHammer]

I'm getting excited too, its just creeping up so fast though and i have no money saved
thank god for pay day on Tuesday.
i need to get purple hair dye, baby wipes, socks and booze!

i got an email about the skirt she has been ill so she is going to send it off today hopefully!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

Fingers crossed it gets sent out!

I need to finish making my hair for it...
And I've got to start making my friends...
*gah*

[EmsyHammer]

i dont think i am going to bother with hair, i might just put a few dreadies in but i can't be bothered with a whole head.

i wonder if there is a layout map up of the website yet?!?!
i am going to be so hungover sat in the passanger seat driving down on the thursday, i have a ann summers party the night before hahaha!!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

I don't think there is a map up, well not one that I can find anyway.
hahaha well at least your not driving down!

[EmsyHammer]

i am just kinda glad i can't drive but i feel sorry for my OH as he has to do all the driving.
