i am going
hi!
HAI
right back atcha!
my mate is driving a 17 seater minibus from aberdeen, via inverness, then glasgow, all the way to minehead. if we make it alive, i'll be impressed.
that's amazing!
how long will that journey take?!
we're
leaving in an hour. there is no engine.
nah, theyre leaving aberdeen at midday thurs, they'll get down to glasgow at teatime, then some scran and a snooze, then we leave glasgow at 2am, and should scoot into butlins at about 11, happy days!
that's brilliant.
i want to do that.
well if you make it
up to glasgow first, then you can.
or if not, we are going to have a teenwolf stlye van-surfing competition on the saturday morning...
..claims direct?
Do you have a spare seat
I have to get there from glasgow and I have absolutely no idea how Imgoing to do it yet.
im going
whoop!
me
woo
likewise
me
are you taking your singstar then? I was thinking about taking mine. I have Rock Ballads which is by far the best disc so could bring that along.
someone bring guitar hero III plz
i need to remind you all how good at knights of cydonia i am.
i am indeed.
ive got singstar rocks, legends, 80's, 90's and anthems.
we had a competition last year against some swedish folk and some japanese folk. Considering that english wasnt their first language, they were suprisingly good.
80's and 90's are both ace
but seriously Ballads is where it's at. Wall to wall classics. It's got Cutting Crew!
have you
ever met anyone who can actually do the rap ones? they're just soooooo hard.
me trying to do 'it's tricky' at 3am the other day = FAIL
me at more than a feeling
= amazing
i can totally hit those notes.
I'm awesome at 'It's Tricky'
unfortunately I won't be at ATP to show off my skills. :(
I'm going
hullo!
me is
me is too
Me!
Me!
Me
so me.
hi gang!
i'm going!! should i book train tickets now or what???
yis
present
YES
Primary aim: hang out with Ghostface Killah in his chalet
Secondary aim: hook up Jens Lekman with Ghostface for killer collab
i ist
i'll be the one with a massive, fuck-off cast on my leg as i was lucky enough to break my ankle yesterday.
I'll look back and lol about it in the years to come. Really i will...
hi
yep, me
woop
(or something)
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moi.
Oh hell, i'm too excited already.
Meeeeeeeeeee

ladylumps and mr adrian pitchfork one.my mistake :(((o
Yep me
Camber first then a slow meander sampling the delights of southern England, finally this
Can't wait
I BELIEVE I AM GOING TO THIS
AND THE OTHER ONE
Yes
I am also in.
i shall be there
5 a side sounds tip top. although i don't know anyone here and vice versa, which could be a stumbling block...
I'm there
who knew?
I shall be there
i have drink for you
I'm in...
Oh yes.
Me, hello
Until mid-way through the Sunday, when I have to go home to sit an exam.
memememememememe
-me
i got my tickets this morning !
just says "ATP Explosions" etc doesnt say what kind of room i've got or anything on it, what's the procedure with the tickets then ?
dis 5-aside
is a go. two teams sorted already (though a couple arent DiSers)
i actually factually cant wait.
beach or grass?
not sure
3am beach football is mucho funo
6am
beach football is even better though. taking someone down big time with a two foot tackle while the sun rises is so romantic.
indeed
I will be going to this
Anyone who is travelling from Hertfordshire area (bit of a long shot), let me know so we can potentialy take over various train carriages.
so
there
Totz.
Count me in...
...I'm driving down from Oxfordshire in my luxury comedy 7-seater Japanese drunk-exec carrier. I may be able to fit a couple more people in, for petrol money, so give me a shout if you're interested.
- Andrew
anyone else get their tickets today ??!??!?!?
what did you actually get ? just the 2 tickets ??? nothing else ?
should have got letters
accompanying them...
all i got was 2 tickets
bugger all about chalets or anything else
i'll look into it...
I
shall be there, providing we don't get lost.
ATP
Can we please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease play minigolf this time? It better not be shut. Grrr.
I can bring some singstar too. And provide half a goal for the 6am footy match.
Not long now! I'm well excited!
FLOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMSSSSS
r GETTING BOSHED. yas.
I will be there
and totally up for minigolf/gocarting/singstar!
I'm there
and bringing my team for that bizarre card-based fantasy football game, ready for all comers. BOOYAH
i'm going as
a ATP virgin, so be gentle with me.
I'm in
wooooop wooop
Im going!
first time i have ever been
We have singstar in our chalet
everyone is welcome to knock out total eclipse of the heart or a spanish song from el singstaro
I'm going and so is the Fox
I'll be there
with p_v
HIYA
OH YEAH
HALLO
i will be staring at people i kind of recognise from afar. please don't get freaked out...
but i'd love to play 5-a-side as well...
Me!
Yup.
is stefan appleby coming to this?
i thought he would be what with the national playing
He's not
what a poofter.
he smells of old mans willies
I Am Coming To This!
and i will be there with bells on... and real-life friends.
you dont have friends in real life
do you?
i know the proof has been thus-far sparse
but truly yes i do.
and we have a 7berth P.A.R.T.Y. chalet which is going to be hella fun. so if anyone saw me post-whiskey last year imagine that x7 for 3 days. (y)
me plus
sixteen, in a minibus from cardiff.
think there will be a strong cardiff contingent at this one. despite a certain football team being in the cup final that saturday.
it's FA Cup final weekend?!
OH YEAH, sports bar ahoy
its also
the last weekend of the SPL too...
fingers crossed for a final day title decider, maybe aberdeen can do celtic a favour and beat rangers at pittodrie, like they did last year...
*fingers crossed*
And me
Me too. Do you know Dyfan or Mark?
I'm going
Oh yeah!
ATP
I'm going as well....
i JUST realised how insanely fun this is going to be
3 weeks this weekend!
oh wow
that is so soon! i can't wait.
I shall be there
Practising throwing up my W's for Ghostface & Raekwon as we speak. Which looks odd in an office environment.
I wonder if EITS use their exploding amp episode at the Astoria as a gimmick at their gigs now? (Or was it the mean fiddler, always get those two mixed up)
I'm going!
hooray!
i'm going
yes.
and make sure
you all bring your dookers.
because the rapids in the swimming pool = instant hangover cure.
its like taking a bath, without the effort of having to run one.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
in in in
i'm i'm i'm
This is the first time I'm not going
in 3 years! I'm quite upset
I'm there.
first time.
i cant wait
and have text two fellow goers about it today. neither have replied :(
has the miffling started yet?
anyone else just get the tickets through
without any chalet details n stuff?
Got the bumpf through on Wednesday and there's only the tickets and the invoice in there.
Thou shalt not panic...
oh!
and are there TV's in the rooms too? V.V. Important!
yes
hi
the ticket agencies claim to have sent out emails to everyone with the forms you need to fill in. but from the amount of emails i'm getting it seems they didnt. so if anyone hasnt got the insurance + chalet occupant forms, email me at:
jamie AT atpfestival DOT com
but please check all your email inboxes first...
does this include
wegotticketers?
yes
its slightly irritating to my brain. email me pls.
