THE COUNTDOWN THREAD

[mrtourette]

Updated!

This sounds pretty cool, I assume it will be in the arena:

Reading and Leeds Festivals combine great music and good times; and Jack Daniel’s in a can will be onsite giving you a refreshing mix of quality food, drink and entertainment during the weekend. JD in a can with Cola or Ginger has been created because we know it’s not easy to carry a bottle of JD and all the bits needed to make your favourite JD tipples while you’re out and about at the festival.

Jack Daniel’s Experience rolls into the Leeds Festival in the form of an authentic U.S. truck, bringing along what is probably the largest mobile bar in Europe! At Reading, Jack Daniel’s brings a piece of its hometown of Lynchburg, Tennessee in the form of Mini Lynchburg Square.

Drinking JD + coke in a can was by far and away the absolute worst, most horrifying and downright atrocious alcoholic "experience" I have ever had the misfortune of enduring.

The "coke" is the same stuff they sell at convenince stores for 18p a 2L bottle. Utterly, Utterly ghastly.

The JD tastes like it has been placed in an old rusting water drum and swilled for extra "flavour".

I know this is extremely subjective, but my advice is to Avoid at all costs.

Any mixer ruins JD, although I'm intreagued by JD and Ginger.

Are you allowed to take your own bears onto the campsite this year?

[2rare2die]

Only if the bear doesn't get involved in trouble on the Sunday night

Just noticed that Young The Giant have disappeared and been replaced by Yellowire on the lineup. Wouldn't have minded seeing some of them, ahh well!

[mrtourette]

Well spotted, added to latest update.

So now that we've got the map where do I pick up my bear and can I preorder a Polar one?

[JohnsonWHU]

Starting to get excited now, just gotta get through today at work, a chilled weekend, then Monday and Tuesday!

Gutted I never got any food from the JD Barbecue they had a few years back, the food looked pretty good.
