Boomtown 2019: Chapter 11

[Tommy101]

Yeah the stuff online is pretty deep. 

I managed to crack a password that got me a ticket of sorts to something but that opportunity is now closed in the digital world, with reassurances that there will be plenty of opportunity to catch up in person. 

After that I kind of lost interest when there were so many other branches to get involved in but I think it is fantastic that they are already providing those who are into it with hours worth of entertainment and community building in the weeks before gates open.

This time next week I'll be down south! With me mates! Getting ready to head up to the site!!

Proper well excited!!

Are there any areas onsite which have better phone signal? I need to meet up with some friends that are taking some of my heavier items in their camper van.

I had no problems the last two years using my phone, I do use whatsapp tho for EVERYTHING if that makes a difference!

Yep I'll not worry too much! Some of our gang have gone proper deep with it, I was singing in a concert last weekend so had to concentrate on that rather than storylines!

Anyone seen any times for The Bad Apple Bar? I don't wanna miss Eats Everything and also wanna check out Strictly Whitney!

There's nothing on the app. Or will it all be in the paper program?

WEATHER UPDATE

GFS 06Z was a pretty good run compared to what we have seen. 

I think it's currently an improving picture. Let's hope it continues!

If anyone is interested in a storyline catch up, it won't get much better than this:

Is there somewhere in particular in the Bad Apple? @Sasperella and I found each other but no one else last year!

Affirmative - look for the oldies. We tend to be out the Town Centre stage side as the other side with all the seating and covered bits can get a bit flooded with random boomtowners, there's a FB Boomtown Chat meet happening there too I think.

Oldies isn't quite fair, the spread has improved. I'm planning on making it though, will be in something fairly bright and there will be orange and bounciness hopefully.

[lucyginger]

Yes last year we went through the bar and outside I think! I know a few folk so if we all do, we should find each other! 

[Wellyboot]

Excellent about the meet! Will be lovely to see all of you!!

I'll be with Lucy so I cant get lost........ actually we might!! It took us three hours to find our camping field in 2017!! THREE!!!

BUT last year we made it to the meet successfully!  

[Wellyboot]

I do have an efests tshirt I could wear but not sure how noticeable that would be for people tho if its busy!

 

I could wave it around haha!

A-ha, you were outside! We only looked inside. So close yet so far. 

But this time I have inside info because I know what @lucyginger actually looks like and thus don't have to accost random girls with ginger hair who assume I'm trying to buy acid when I ask for Lucy 

[payneruk]

Just listening to Four Tet's Glasto set back in 2016. And completely forgot about his Eric Pridz' Opus remix. 

Only seen it once live in Space, Ibiza. Man I hope he plays it again!!

Is that a fan fiction type thing or released by Boomtown? It's an entertaining read

I've not even had time to thoroughly explore the lineup (trying to submit PhD before boomtown)...let alone the storylines! Will be needing tips and clues at efest meet please ?

[Sasperella]

Does anyone know how regular the shuttle buses are to/from the train station on Friday and how long they take? I might have to leave for a few hours Friday morning/early afternoon, and would be good to know how easy that is!

He worked with the Boomtown theatrical team to write it. He has done this type of thing for them the past few years. He's a great writer so I guess that's why they keep asking him!

Sorry as I might’ve missed an earlier point addressing this, but is there any day by day breakdown of the lineup!?

Officially: You can either download the app "Woov", select "Boomtown Fair", and you can find all the set times in there. You can create a personalised line up and it works offline for at the festival.

Unofficially: Boomtown Source has the lineup published, without needing to install an app: http://boomtownsource.com/boomtown-2019-line-up/
