I don’t recall the exact bar situation but distinctly remembering the majority of its stock being exhausted apart from some bottles and Carlsberg? I think, everything else on tap had largely ran out at the main stage early on.

The main fuckup was when they demanded EVERYONE in the chalet come in with you to get their wristbands for some crappy reason. So even though we were there fairly early, we were standing in the cold for ages and missed that very first opening Shellac set.

Theo’s just exposed himself as a Carlsberg man

My wife was pregnant that time so I probably was drinking very little. Did they not find any ale stands like at Minehead that time? I was probably just on dark rum and coke, tbh.

Oh yeah, I remember that distinctly because one of our lodgers had to wait to get his wristband for ages as he technically belonged to another chalet.

MBV ATP was shit

Nuh-uh.
Only crap thing was missing De la Soul who were on really early on the Friday iirc

I only ever managed to attend one ATP, the Nightmare Before Christmas that Thurston Moore curated in 2006. I desperately wanted to go to the Mike Patton curated one a couple of years later but couldn’t persuade anyone to go with me.

was always the case at ATP on friday for me. spend most of the day schlepping there, miss the opening 3 bands. by the time you’ve got your shit together and had a couple beers you caught the headliner. everyone who played early on friday got a raw deal. i remember they had to put battles on twice at one because everyone missed them

Was that at mars volta? Think someone dropped out as well (which is why jai alai savant got two sets as well)

yeah probably was, seemed to happen quite frequently on fridays though because a lot of people travelled up late on the friday. seen some woefully attended friday sets.

Saw about ten minutes of Broadcast that way.

Constantines at EITS (and Mono I think) were like that.

Also Alan Vega at Dirty Three I think

that weekend was incredible fun

That was my first (of but several). It was wonderful!

Submitted my section 75 credit card claim last weekend with HSBC, got my money back this morning.

Awesome work. When did you buy the tickets? We were told by Barclays it’s going to take a long time (up to 12 weeks) because we bought more than 4 months ago.

I bought at the start of Nov (early birds) - so more than 4 months ago. Barclays are dicks.

Great to hear the timing shouldn’t cause any major problems though. :+1::+1::+1::+1:

Is that Barclays Credit Card? With Debit i was told I had to wait 15 days before even making a claim,
