Tommy101 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 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.

payneruk Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

payneruk Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 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! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostypaw Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 18 minutes ago, lucyginger said: Oh are we having a meet up? Thursday Bad Apple Bar at 6pm is it? 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payneruk Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an entertaining read 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
