****in love this song. The drums are superb.

I used to pick this song on the jukebox in college. Partially because I loved it. Partially because it was great value for money

BTW - if ye are meeting up anywhere else, let us know.

Potential meet-ups are Roadhouse Doors, Booka Brass, Murder Capital & Harvest. Open to suggestions of how we'd recognise each other.
Murder Capital will be the least busy of the above I reckon. I'll wear a cream Primavera Sound 2007 t-shirt if anyone wants to say hello.

With regards travelling to Green Car park for Pink Moon Camping - Is going through Vicarstown a silly idea because it won't lead us directly into Stradbally because there's a diversion at Garrons crossroads?

Who here has gotten into Green Car Park from Dublin? If so, did you just drive the normal route via M7, thaking exit 15?

After this, is it a matter of luck to get Green, or do they fill up Red first and then use the Green?

Hmmmm.....
I wouldn't "assume" that you will be able to take a left--we don't know what they're up to. Me, I would be inclined to somehow get on to the N80 further south rather than assuming you'll get a left there.

Incidentally, don't know if this pasting a link will work but there is a Garda plan....

Ok gotcha thank you.

For anyone travelling from west and want to get into the yellow car park perhaps go this route:

I went on the M7, then took a left onto the M9, into Athy, into Stradbally, into the Green Car Park.
a number of years.

Advance wardrobe planning?? If I wasn't 48, I'd say '**** just got real!'. Mine's an orange Pavement tshirt. I'll keep an eye out.

BadTurtle · 29-08-2018 04:50PM

I'll probably be wearing a Germany jersey from this year's world cup. No, I didn't support them. It's just a great jersey.

Oh and thanks for the advice lads. Will take it under consideration and attempt to get their early, bringing a haaaape of cans to keep me occupied.

Thanks for that!

That was one thing that struck me last time about EP, the food isn't THAT expensive all considering.

Might even try something else other than the usual burrito this year

We're all obviously confident about the sun and t-shirts being the only upper body wear needed. Will look out for the Pavement & Germany tops.

I went through Vicarstown last year and got into green no problem. It is saying there is a diversion this year but still going to chance it. Any other time I have gone down the M7 I have ended up in red. My worry about going the Athy route is that I will end up in yellow which would be a disaster, it sounds like green is designated for Thursday and Sunday arrivals this year.

Pretty sure it was supposed to be sunday bodies last year too

Captain Flaps · 29-08-2018 04:55PM

I'll be the 6'5" guy with a 100% reflective backpack, glowing panel t-shirt and probably EL sunglasses (if I can find them)

That is poetry. Mr. Scruff Monkey gets post number 10000.

I’ll be the bald lad with a beard, wearing a hat, jeans and a t shirt.

Any room for a long time lurker before the thread gets closed down?

First of all, thanks to everyone involved for this thread. It has been a constant source of entertainment/information for the last few months .

There is a load of things that I should actually be doing right now, but I will happily put them off until tomorrow and sit here looking at clashfinder.

I haven't actually put away the camping stuff since ATN. I could be tempted to put the tent up in the garden tonight and get rightly in the mood with a few cans.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and avoids as many clashes as possible.

Davysulls86 · 29-08-2018 05:22PM

I'll be the extraordinarily handsome fella beating women away with a stick....

billybonkers · 29-08-2018 05:23PM

What is the post limit? hardly worth starting a new thread with 1 day until the site opens?

Same as That, thanks a mil for all the info, long time lurker here too. Has been touch and go if I would get there this year or not, slipped a disk 3 weeks ago that's sitting nicely on my sciatic nerve but have decided feck it life is too short, between painkillers and cider I hope to make it till Monday. So i will be the 37 year old with a limp who has told her family she sold her tickets and is off to a spa for the weekend. Couldn't be listening to them giving out to me. They just don't understand what an epic weekend it is

mimimcmc · 29-08-2018 05:28PM

Anyone know what that 3rd photo is?

mimimcmc · 29-08-2018 05:29PM
