I'm not going but am seeing a number of bands on the line up that are playing in town. Since Country Teasers have not planned any gigs nearer proper civilisation that I know of, I'm hoping they refuse to leave their chalets for the entire duration of the festival so nobody gets to see them.

You think London is proper civilisation? lol

EvdWee · 11.30.2010, 05:41 AM

sunday night after deerhoof: the awesome tapes.

cannot be better than jim sclavunos' closing set last year.

The Earl Of Slander · 11.30.2010, 07:55 AM

Pretty solid non-clashy schedule yeah. Only annoyance is that if I don't want to see Godspeed at 3 in the afternoon, which would seem a bit weird, I have miss either Phillip Jeck or Borbetomagus... Tough call.

The Earl Of Slander · 11.30.2010, 08:25 AM

Oh wait, even on the sunday they clash with Charlemagne Palestine! Fuck!

_slavo_ · 11.30.2010, 08:50 AM

I'm repeating myself, but this is one hell of an amazing line-up. Less time for drinking, more time for watching gigs = the healthy solution.

Borbetomagus + nomeansno I really want to see
same for white magic + philip jeck

so probably charlemagne palestine is the one i will miss, sadly...

Glice · 11.30.2010, 09:02 AM

Palestine is a not-to-be-missed for me, and it'll be the 3rd time I've seen him. It's possible I might not even bother with Godspeed.

there are bands that i care and a lot!, bands/musicians that i dont care at all..

and today i was going through the bands/musicians i dont know much about. im very glad, i found out about 3 so far, that i think i m going to enjoy a lot: hangedup, nomeansno and john butcher.

Excellent. Well, you and I can smugly watch better things then. I'm a bit worried about Butcher - I'm sure he'll be great but I hope he has a quiet crowd.

EvdWee · 11.30.2010, 09:45 AM

we are coming from the netherlands by car. how are the main roads from dover -> bristol?

Glice · 11.30.2010, 09:51 AM

Icy. Are you going M20>M25>M4? Make sure you allow for stoppages on the M25. You're going in the 'off' direction, but it's still a fucker.

EvdWee · 11.30.2010, 10:00 AM

this is the third time we are doing this trip and we are driving through the night (departure at 4-5 am from dover), so last time we went smoothly past London.

our main concern is the icyness of the roads. will it still be possible to drive 112 km per hour?

Glice · 11.30.2010, 10:05 AM

Uh... I don't drive, but I wouldn't recommend it.The roads will be clear during the day but the motorways probably won't be gritted at that time of the morning. It's probably worth adding 30 minutes or more to your journey rather than risk finding some ice in the middle of the night driving fast when you're tired.

EvdWee · 11.30.2010, 10:43 AM

last year we arrived at 11am, so we have a large buffer (and 4 drivers).

the weather forecast says it will be -4 oC min. without snow, so we should be fine i guess...

blunderbuss · 11.30.2010, 12:55 PM

The sky may be fine, but apparently the M25 is littered with jacknifed lorries.

_slavo_ · 11.30.2010, 01:32 PM

is it too cold in the UK these days? i've seen some British peasants complaining about the snow on our local TV news channel so I guess I have to take weather into consideration

Glice · 11.30.2010, 01:45 PM

The South West is no-where near as bad, snow-wise, as other parts of the country. I'd recommend a beer-blanket, sturdy footwear and a proper man's attitude, and you'll be fine.

_slavo_ · 11.30.2010, 01:55 PM

i'm remembering last year, with sun, walking outside without a jacket and all that.

Glice · 11.30.2010, 02:01 PM

Revolutionary zeal, and whisky.
