Electric Picnic 2011

Went to check my ticket on Tuesday to make sure all was still there and... I left it against a lamp in my room, lamo is never used so I don't know who had it on but the ticket was burnt black straight down the middle got in touch with Ticketmaster and I had to post it to them in Dublin with registered post, all day yesterday it was still saying "on route to customer" so I was shi**ing it... But this morning I got a nice surprise when I got a new shiny ticket in the door... Massive thanks to Ticketmaster for sorting it so quick and now I truly can not wait!.. 10 hours until I finish work and only a short drive tomorrow morning... Lets be having you!

I watched the weather forecasts last night. Here's my prediction:

Friday will be pretty nice during the day but in the evening will get worse and we'll get drenched friday night. (be prepared). Saturday and particularly Sunday will be ok again, maybe not sunshine but not too much in the way of rain.

DeV.

That will do. I have mentally prepared for a washout so anything better will be awesome

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Is there a new timetable knocking around....?

Ye are all killing me:mad::mad::o

I'm mad to go but a lack of funds and the usual group of people I usually go with are either abroad at the min or flat out working over the weekend.

Don't worry about the weather, it's going to be great especially since I'm not going to it. About 2 weeks ago when there was still a chance of me going I said to myself "I can smell the nice weather for EP already":D It's definitely going to be nice, believe me!

Positivity Folks POSITIVITY!!

I live only 20 mins away from Stradbally and the weather is looking good so far, if it stays like this for the weekend ye will be sorted. It has'nt rained all week so the ground should be pretty dry so if it does rain a small bit it should'nt get too muddy.

friday


saturday


sunday

I just spent €135 on posh rain gear so I truly hope it rains, at least a bit.

The extent of my rain gear is a black bin bag :P

This year is my first time not driving/getting lift and just wondering where the buses leave you off in Stradbally....do they all drop off at the coach drop off point on Timahoe Road? Do you have to walk around then to the main entrance to get wristband etc before getting into campsite?

Thanks!!

Don't know the name of the road, but Bus Eireann drop off at the normal stop as their daily route would be. Bout 15 min walk to entance where ya would pick up wrist bands then.

I heard there is paintball onsite, any truth to this?

I am travelling from Birr Offaly early tomorrow morning with an empty car, as I am meeting hardy souls that have been working on site all week! Gladly offer anyone a lift, I will be passing thru Roscrea, Borris-of-Misery, Castletown, Mountrath, Portlaoise early tomorrow!!
Might work out cheaper for people from Limerick/the south to just get a bus to Roscrea and I can pick up there!!!

Shame to arrive in an empty car!!!!!

Thats very nice of you to offer lifts..
Will there be a back log of cars going in on Fri, whats the best time to avoid this if the case, not one for sitting in a stream of cars not moving! Would the majority be there by lunch time or is it continuous throughout most og the day?

Anybody driving down from Dublin on Friday got room for two more? Everything has fallen through so far, we're getting a little desperate at this point.

I might be able to help you out. Where in Dublin are you based?

Send me a PM

For information purposes, those of you that are hunting for a tarpaulin waterproof sheet to cover your tent or whatever, Aldi do 4mx3m for €8... lots left in the Coolock Aldi this morning.

Also, BEER... Dunness are doing 24 cans for €27.50 of Bud and Carlsberg saving €21!!! Northside shopping centre but possibly nationwide..
