I bought my ticket
the day that they went on sale and I'm as giddy as a school girl on pills thinking about it.
And yes, me and my friends will probably stay away for the 3 days and cause it.
away?
I meant awake, I think.
aye
its gonna be MINT
i'm going
worst clash in history: bjork, idlewild and hot chip. bjork wins but i'd love to have been able to catch them all.
gagh!
same here, woulda loved to have caught hot chip!
Am going
looking forward to so many of the bands.
I think Big Star-LCD is the biggest clash for me. I'm prob going with Big Star.
Bjork
Will always win. You can see Hot Chip & Idlewild again and again, Bjork is a rare experience. Can't wait.
Anyone going up on the Thursday? As we're coming from sleepy Oxfordshire we have to travel up on the Thursday, so gonna find somewhere down by the Loch to camp. Awesome.
us too :)
yeh, we are goin up thursday from notts and camping friday morning. party at our tent?
yeah exactly
i've seen hot chip and idlewild a couple of times before and bjork has probably been my favourite woman ever (possibly behind my mum) for about 5 years!still a shame though - will go and watch idelwild when they tour the best of with twilight sad supporting.
i'm coming up from Reading so i'm gonna stay at a friend of a friend's house in glasgow. anyone know somewhere cool to go in glasgow on a thursday night?
no
but judging by that car advert if you turn the wrong way theres a MINT road
artschool or abc
for thursday night in glasgow, both or on or just off sauchiehall street
cheers -
will try and get my mates to go!
I am going and it is going to be the best weekend of my life.
M.I.A.
Bjork
The Hold Steady
The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Modest Mouse
etcetcetcetcetc
wonderful
Bjork
Is amazing i can’t wait for the weekend i have massive hopes for connect, i think it’s going to be the best festival of the summer. Is it true the campsite doesn’t open till Friday or am i just making things up.
Stage times?
anyone heard anything?
sadly it's true
I hope it is the bet festival of the summer
though i am slightly worried t might fall on its bottom like field day.
Otherwise, it WILL be the best thing ever.
I'm going
got a press pass even...
mostly excited to see JAMC (my fav band) but another 10-15 bands I'd love to see as well.. Going to be in a large group of scots so hopefully keep my wits about me enough to actually see some bands :)
i am goin
it's going to be super ace.
loads of great bands I've seen before and loads I haven't especially looking forward to Bjork, MIA, modest mouse and rilo kiley
i'm going
too, just for the Sunday. I've been wondering if it's slightly crazy to travel all that way for one day, but I'm sure all will make sense when Bjork plays. Really looking forward to My Latest Novel and Regina Spektor too
count me in kids!
Can't bleeding wait.
