Well I'd like to witness Liverpool win. But I'm sure I'll have bigger fish to fry anyway. Weekend without sport won't do me any harm

Ahahaha, what time are you in the comedy tent?

Its sad if you're going out of your way at a music festival to listen to commentary of some GAA match, or any sport at that.

It's much much more than a music festival.

Can anyone confirm if they let you into the campsite with a wheelbarrow?

The thoughts of carrying all that sh!t for a mile and a half again is giving me the dreads.

Why?

Lemsiper · 27-08-2013 09:53AM

Ya, what's the problem if some people want to spend an hour and a half of the entire weekend enjoying some sport?

That's it dismiss all interests that are not your own.

Carpark question

Driving up this year for the first time. Last year we got dropped in Stradbally village, walked up the main street, took a left and kept going until we reached the entrance, not a bad walk at all.
This year we're driving and I'm just wondering can we get to the carpark from the same direction, i.e. drive down main street and then there will be signs to the carpark? or do we have to approach stradbally from a different direction to get to the carpark? It is my understanding that the road we walked down last year is only for pedestrian access.

I dont why people look down their noses at people wanting to see a sporting event over the weekend. Its 90 mins out of 3 days

Agreed, some people are too cool for school!

Endurance_man · 27-08-2013 10:53AM

What time would people recommend arriving on Friday?

Driving down from Dublin and have the day off so can head down whenever.

thanks

Toast · 27-08-2013 10:56AM

Always arrive as early as you can. With the sell out I reckon the campsites will be jammed this year.

sineadkeo · 27-08-2013 10:59AM

Hi

I was hoping to find out if anyone heading back fromElectric Picnic back to Carlow town on Sunday night. Work Monday morning! Could I get a lift with you or if anyone knows of a bus organised? I know rainbow records used to organise one back in the day.

Thank you.

Peterd66 · 27-08-2013 10:59AM

Whoever did that map must be waiting for the junior cert geography results (and will be getting disappointing news!!)

Also how come map, stage times are coming through media and in many cases the artists themselves but not available on EP website?

Sound. Will aim to arrive around 12 so. I reckon that should be fine.

so people will buy the lanyard things instead of printing off the website

barry194 · 27-08-2013 11:08AM

Lads does anyone know if there is shuttle buses from Dublin or Galway running on the Sunday?

I love my camera, but it is also my baby - and I get annoyed with carrying it around. Is it safe to leave in the tents? Wondering if people steals from tents when unattended...

Another factor is the rain... but I really just want to bring it for a few shots anyway even if it rains and keep it in the tent the remainder of the time. I won't want to carry it around all weekend, so just asking what y'all think! Is it safe to bring? or am I better off leaving it behind?

PS. My phone camera sucks

I really wouldn't leave it in a tent. Worth your while using giglocker and locking it up when you get fed up of carrying it around - you'll have peace of mind that way!

in that case, i don't think they'd release them to the media.

the map was on EP's facebook page. the times are usually left as late as possible in case of cancellations/alterations.

the artists will know themselves because they have to be informed for logistics reasons.

not sure what the point of sending the Main Stage times to the media is though, especially what seems like a screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet :pac:

Yeah, giglocker is good. Don't leave anything that valuable in the tent.

I know a guy left a good camera in a tent a few picnics ago. He headed back into the arena and was gone most of the night. Came back early next day and the camera was still there.
But, 5 years to the day later he got a parking ticket while he was out with his missus in Howth! They only got out of the car for a minute to get some icecreams!
Don't try and tell me they are not related.

I wouldn't look down my nose, I'm quite interested but I wouldn't trek all the way into Stradbally to see a game, not that dedicated. It's just nice to get away from sport banter for one weekend. I hope Dublin beat Kerry, and then Mayo beat them in Final.

freelance2013 · 27-08-2013 11:39AM

I'm thinking of bringing 24 cans and a bottle of whiskey for the weekend. This should be enough, even though I'm always worried I don't ahve enough on a normal night...

I'm going to get the knock off Jim Bean in Lidl and I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice cheap beer somewhere in the €1/can market or less? Something nice and easy on the stomach for a weekend of boozing. I'm a big fan of the Perlenbacker* in Lidl but it comes in glass bottles.

Fugs!! · 27-08-2013 11:43AM

Can anyone tell if the campervan site is open thursday night? And if so from what time?
