Primavera 2010 Roll Call!

fiddygent [Edit] [Delete] 73 replies 11:35 May 14th, 2010

Booked backup flights out with Ryanair just in case BA cancel my flight (won't be booking with them ever again), reserved a hire car and planned a road trip if the volcano wants to fuck with me as well. By hook or by crook, I will be watching drunk people attempting to run up that wall on the way to the ATP stage on Thursday evening.

BTW: I'm starting this as the long prima thread crashes firefox on my work computer.

  - I got about 3/4 of the way up that wall last year
    
    which was surprisingly easy - the hard part was the velocity with which I came back down, which surprised me quite considerably and lead to be tumbling down to the floor and nearly knackering my ankle. Be careful!

I'm going!

Well, assuming my flight ain't cancelled. Nearer to the Parc Del Forum this year, so don't have to rely on night buses this time. YEAH!

- I'm going, booked with ryanair.
  
  My friend has dropped out so I'm going on my own, feeling a bit apprehensive about the whole thing now.
  
  Haven't booked any accomodation yet-are the hostel dorms a bit weird and claustrophobic, or are they OK?
  
  We tried to run up the wall last year. We failed.

Me!

making the journey down there by train for a few stop offs and bit of holiday along the way. The volcano will not be fucking with me. I have some big decisions to make regarding some heinous clashes though. Condo Fucks or Beak> / Built to Spill or No Age? :(

Feyodor | 14 May '10, 12:03 | X | ^ This | Reply
Ruuugh!

Going there from Monday to Monday so I can see some of the city as well.
Totally hyped about: Orbital, Pixies, Low, Mission of Burma.

I am also intrigued by this wall.

First-timer. First European festvial, actually. I'm from the states and have only been in Italy for about a half a year now.

Also doing the Ryanair thing.

Be there, IDK, the Monday or Tuesday or something. Yeah, b/c I'll be in Barca for a whopping 6 days.

There's a thread about this on the forum for the site but IDK about them

Who's going by themselves?

I am. My mates not going isn't stopping me. And I'm staying at a party hostel who's slogan is 'If you're looking for a quiet place to rest go somewhere else' or summit.

  Is this a yearly tradition? Like I said, this is my first Primavera Sound.

Looking forward to getting one of those pizza cones in my hands just in time for Shellac. Super amped for Low, Panda Bear, Beach House and Pixies.

Just hope my flights are operational. Im going to Girona on the tuesday so hopefully should be ok.

I'm coming

I'm a tall-ish girl with short red hair. Feel free to go round shouting 'ARE YOU ON DROWNED IN SOUND???' at anyone who looks vaguely like me.

I don't have a back up flight but I do have the means to get credit and re-book onto some ultra-expensive flight at the last minute if needs be.

Yesssss!

Top three clashes, for me:

BSS vs. Wild Beasts - mentioned this in the other thread but still torn up.

Spoon vs. Condo Fucks - I know Spoon will be good. But I'm a huge Yo La Tengo fan, although I've not got round to checking out any of their CF stuff yet. Can anyone tell me whether they're worth checking out under this guise?

No Age vs. Built To Spill - I was always leaning towards BTS though, and my girlfriend said she definitely wants to see the latter. Still think missing No Age in the Spanish sunshine is going to be gutting...

Five day forecast for ash cloud

Looking not to bad if I'm understanding it right....

ricey | 17 May '10, 20:40 | X | ^ This | Reply
i'm going too, with a few mates...

First ever festival abroad. Should I'd be as worried about pickpockets as people have been telling me? I'd fancy a game of beach football, after an inspiring trip to the Nou Camp.

        no concrete plans. probably visit around 1-2pm on the saturday (unless thurs or fri would be better for people). theres 3-4 people definitely interested and i know some more who will probably want to go.

furthermore

i recommend everyone sees a sunny day in glasgow after seeing them live (hopefully they dont clash with anyone).

might be a good place for DiS MEAT too

oh hello you

First Primavera, salivating at the prospect.

Very pleased that the Mrs decided against the handbag for her birthday in favour of these tickets

jesechristo | 18 May '10, 11:15 | X | ^ This | Reply
I am going.

I've never got the the shuttle bus before and will probably need it on the Thursday night (will not be able to pull an all nighter then sadly!). Are the buses just literally outside on the main road? And do they actually turn up?

Mega excited now though.

  Pick up is on the main road near the audotori, they seemed quote regular. As far as I can remember it only drops off at Placa de Catalunya...
  
  ricey @kirstmag | 18 May '10, 12:06 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Yeah it costs 2 euros (FYI you have to buy a ticket from a seperate booth)
    
    picks you up outside the site and drops you off at Placa de Catalunya. The services was quite regular last year, it seems to improve with each year (2007 was a nightmare - had to walk). I've never understood why there were no taxis (or very little) outside the site, they would of made a packet.
