Excited

[llcoolphil]

Tonight I am mostly drinking beer and am really p*ssed cos Im soooooo excited asbout being p*ssed in Leicest - o in less than a fortnight. Just thought Id share

[JakeBoz]

I'm getting giddy about it now!

Cannot wait!

[butchwade]

We're just back from a VERY wet week's camping in Cornwall.

The tent's up in the garden drying out right now.

Looking forward muchly to a good dry warm SSW!

I am particuarly looking forward to the 16hrs of sun per day on friday, saturday & sunday of the 3rd weekend in August 2009. The real ale tent being at the top of the hill is the cherry on the bakewell.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Side note, today is the day off I should be having off on Monday the 17th. Bugger.

[Tomisme]

Well this will be my 5th Summer Sundae, but I've never been looking forward to it as much before... I don't know why, but I've been checking the forum daily and counting down the days for a good few months now... Only a week and a bit to go!! Let's just hope that the weather has sorted itself out by then!!

Wooooooo hooooooo!!!!!

[llcoolphil]

I haven't got rained on at SS since Gomez. Im sure you all imagine it I did get stung by a wasp last year though, a fact I may have mentioned in passing to the odd person or two. Happily, I was sat outside the ale tent p*ssed and barely felt a thing

[Tomisme]

You didn't watch Dodgy last year then?? I got soaked whilst I danced around like an idiot

[butchwade]

Yeah, Dodgy was a very wet one.

I've also been extremely rained on while watching Editors.

And Jose Gonzalez (THAT was one of the longest half hours of my life - wet and tedious!!!)

And Jose Gonzalez (THAT was one of the longest half hours of my life - wet and tedious!!!) :angry:

[llcoolphil]

He repeated the trick last year on the Sunday but without the rain.

[butchwade]

There were so many people sat in front of the stage in the sunshine last year - paying no attention whatsoever

[Ed Leaf]

My FPO liked Jose last year. But then again she doesn't "listen" to music. She has it on in the background to drown out her husband's complaining.

[retromoz]

So, im the only one 'ere who liked Jose Gonzalez too....ho hum...

Anyways, this is our 4th in a row. And, whilst i am looking forward to it immensly, i DO think the line up this year is quite weak.....still, at least its cheap. And i get to see the majestic Mum. AND My Latest Novel. And Joy Formidable. :angry:

[Tomisme]

Well the forums are certainly getting busier this week. I guess that must mean there's only 9 days to go until I can get my tent up and head out on that open top bus... Woop woop!!

[butchwade]

Mrs Butch just sent me a text to say she managed to get all day Thursday off work.

Now we can get there as soon as the campsite opens.

Whoo Hoo! Early start!

[Debbi]

It's tomorrow!!

Woooo!!

[JakeBoz]

It's tomorrow!!

Woooo!!

[Tomisme]

So I'm at work counting down the hours until I can get in the car and head down to Leicester. Who else is setting up camp today? What time are you getting there? I can't wait for 5 o'clock to get here. Should be in Leicester by about 6.30... Just in time to get the tent up and then head out to the fringe

Work is going so slowly today......

[butchwade]

We're just ready to pack the car.

Planning to be at DMH just after 2 to get the tent up.......................

..............then it's beer o'clock!!

[Ed Leaf]

I've just collected some mics, leads & stands, plus monitors and assorted cables. There really is a shortage of kit in Leicester tonight.

[Leprekorn]

We should be there around 2ish as well. Then its cocktail o'clock woo hoo

[Kaybee]

I'm in Leicester but I don't finish work until 8pm tonight - BAD planning. The sun is shining but the day is truly dragging. See you all on the buses tonight? (I may even get to go on one this year!)
