laugh.gif Well, folks, faltem 11 dias, as they say in Portugal, and no sign of any additions to the bill (in spite of the fact that one of the last two days looks very thin indeed - could it be that there are times when nothing is happening on either stages, or can we expect the usual banging techno to entertain us between sets? wink.gif

Maybe the carta really is completa? huh.gif Who cares - anything else that appears is a bonus - right? wink.gif Can't wait! - It's pissing it down here and we hear that it's hot hot hot in Lisbon - sounds great to us! biggrin.gif Mucho sol y mucho cerveza - me da egual - va a ser much divertido! laugh.gif

what's annoying is there is loads of Bands i want to see on the Thursday which clash but apart from the headliners almost nothing I'm interested in on the Friday and Saturday. I'm thinking I'll probably opt for Vampire Weekend and MGMT on Thursday over Spiritualized and The National, I like all of the them but I reckon the first lot will probably be more fun (judging by their Glasto sets). On the Friday I think I'll do one after Dylan and head for the clubs

No idea how easy it is to get into town from there but i would imagine there'd be quite a few people doing it so i'll just find some peeps to tag along with. You could party all night and go back to Oeiras in the morning

laugh.gif We're also leaving for Portugal on Tuesday - roll on Tuesday! wink.gif Sounds like a lot of us are having the same ideas about the line up and which bands to go and see! cool.gif By the way, we heard a rumour that Mr Dylan is currently touring Spain with a Spanish backing band - could it be that young Bob plans to entertain us with his back catalogue bopping along to a samba beat? laugh.gif Vaya Mr Zimmerman! biggrin.gif And by the way, as the Portuguese would say: a cerveza e Sagres, or as we would say: it's a Sagres Beer Festie, folks! biggrin.gif

rolleyes.gif Liverpool 6.50 flight to Porto then we're training it to Lisbon Thursday morning. wink.gif

By the way, we notice that they've started adding things to the line up again - although, admittedly, at the moment, we're talking sound systems! rolleyes.gif

Anyway, we hear it's 41 degrees in Lisboa at the moment - umm, should be interesting - gotta be better than the storm clouds here????

If we don't speak to uuuuz soon, we'll see uuuuuz in Lisboa???? dry.gif Adios, amigos!! wink.gif

Me and two other friends are... the bad site of the thing is that we are arriving to Heathrow from Cyprus the previous day at about 7pm and so we are going to stay in the airport for the whole night!:( We are thinking of taking the tube down to Piccadilly and coming back later...

Anyone else on the early easyjet flight from Luton next Wednesday? I'll be travelling from Finsbury Park in north London if anyone's keen on cabshare...

Also may have a spare ticket for Super Bock Super Rock on Wednesday night (Slayer and Iron Maiden among others...)

PM me if interested!

Can't wait to crack the first Sagres next week, Lisbon is the shit!
