  4. How and where to score the good stuff at Benicassim- Give your tips

    This will not appeal to everyone, but lots of first timers will want to know

    1) Bonet is the best campsite for disco biscuits. (Listen out particulary for any German/Dutch Techno sounds, as listeners of this 'music' tend to be the purveyors of many things that bring you up)

    '

    2) Haggle down from initial 10 euros, to about 7. This is sometimes acheivable if you present yourself as 'laid back.' To communicate your order to germans say, either "pille", or ""Griesgram" if they are spanish, "pastille". (unfortunately you may have to expect to part with 10 euro's just for one jub, but hey, you're on holiday)

    It is well worth trying this out, and playing it by ear as we found out last year. A little preseverance and you wont have to chance it picking up from the..

    ..3) Gyppo's/Pikey's... On the way into the festival site there is a long, stony/dirt road. Although less reliable, and less susceptible to reducing prices the Gyppo's jubs are quite potent. Strangely enough, i found the dodgiest looking ones (cracked, off-colour, indistinguishable design) to be the most effective. Some of them were actually quite brilliant. whatever you do, DO NOT purchase any acid off the gyppo's. Most people who i spoke to last year said it must have been either very weak, or just fake tabs with improvised designs. It may taste 'bitter' but it should'nt really taste like anything. This is an indication of either 'bad acid' or 'a square of paper with hairspray on it' neither of which produces a desired effect.

    4)White sharks are bad- Taken in large doses, these produce an effect of 'looking through the wrong end of a telescope', probably got lots of K and Rat poision in them. Not good, but interesting.

    5) Don't buy magic mushrooms of dutch people unless you are loaded. They're overpriced, and come in meagre portions.

    6) Watch out for the fat spanish lady selling coke in the festival site. Good stuff, snd not too expensive, again haggle. She means buisness, as she actually bought a ticket!

    7) If puking's your trip, try the pikey BBQ. Or the 2 euro bottles of whiskey from LIDLS

    I was aware there was a lot of so-called 'MDMA' Capsules floating around last year. Anyone know what these were like?

    Also, is anybody starting up a bit of buisness around Bonet, (taking stuff from home) if so, let us know!!! You should see the money the British dealers were making.

    Kasabian aren't big enough to headline my garden. :D

    DJ Hell has a new album out so I reckon he'll be there, Apparat and Modeselektor are doing some stuff together so maybe they'll be there. 2ManyDjs are starting a tour in June so maybe they'll be there. I'd like to see Etienne de Crecy, Rex the Dog, Mr Oizo, Erol Alkan, Richie Hawtin, Ellen Allien, Anja Schneider, Lindstrom, Alex Smoke, Erol Alkan, Thomas Bangalter, James Lavelle, Aphex Twin, Ricardo Villalobos, Stanton Warriors, Ivan Smagghe...any of those would be cool.

    You totally seem to not get our point. The kids can do whatever they want, as long as they don't annoy me, just as I expect them to let me do whatever I want if I don't annoy them. Opening a new thread every day for one and the same festival is annoying to me. Now, if they leave it be and stick to existing threads it's fine by me. I don't think I am above them, i just think they should play by the rules.

    And, as long as there is a positive result (subforum for Beni, better moderation, the 'kids' not opening a new Beni-thread without even naming the festival in the title every day) I don't see it as wasted time.
