    I woke up this morning and looked out the window to see the whole Stage is setup and nearly ready to go :D
    Fingers crossed now the weather stays dry.

    what time is it starting? I would probably collect tickets in town this evening if anybody wants to donate...but i heard music earlier today...possibly sound checking?

    btw...what do you think the chances are of sneaking in from a rib? (JC...im sure you've thought about it ;) )

    Good buzz I have to say, brought me own drink :D Turns out a family member was performing at one stage... didn't even cop it :p

    Only stupid thing was the amount of toilets. 14 feckin toilets in the whole place and not a single urinal. Said it to a few of the organisers who were around for a chat after, they said they legally had enough for the amount of people there, but that they'll sort it out for the next destination

    Thought the whole thing was very well done. A lot better than I expected set-up wise. Free pints stopped after 8. €5 for (not even) a pint is ridiculous. They put (arguably) the best band on at the start when it wasn't busy enough. The toilet queues were ridiculous.

    For me, when the support band after The Flaws had finished and that one man band guy was on I think it lost a real amount of buzz.

    Oh, did anyone else see some girl completely out of it? Literially being dragged around by her boyfriend or a mate. Looked like she ingested more than Coors Light to be honest.

    So was there free beer?

    Anyone else think it was a bit ridiculous that you couldnt leave and come back in? Would it not have been pretty simple for them to get stamps or something?

    Jape and RSAG were really good, but most of the crowd were just standing there looking bored, especially during RSAG.

    I wouldn't argue with the 5euro for a pint to be honest - that's the price at every flippin' concert - you KNOW the pints are gonna be expensive. Rather than whine about it, bring your own for fecks sake... 'tis a recession! The reason I wouldn't argue with the price of the pints is because the whole concert was FREE... they have to try and recoup their monies somehow.

    I didn't arrive until after 9 but still got 5 free pints (and another 3 for mates) with some ticket things I was given. Free beer tastes so much better :D

    All in all, free entertainment can't be argued with. It was a different buzz to the norm... everyone was just chillin' and havin the craic, really relaxed buzz. Again, only complaint was the toilets. I just took a p1ss in the corner of the toilet area at one stage - few mins later there was about 50 lads doing it. The security just turned a blind eye to it cause we were just p1ssing into the grass... and it'd take a foolish person to try to stop someone p1ssing mid-flow

    .

    I left a good few times and came back in, no problem? So did a load of my friends.

    Good buzz around the place for that night, sound was pretty crap though. The last Coors Light event in Galway had free beer all night, but no live music, so I guess they spent all the free drink budget on getting the music acts this time around. My hipflask came in handy on the night anyways!

    I came at half 9 and they weren't letting anybody in. The guy at the entrance said that they always give out more tickets than they're allowed in the venue because some people book tickets but don't turn up. Obvious flaw in logic there! He also said they were 200 under capacity but they'd been told not to let anyone in after half 9. They must have turned away about a hundred people. People were leaving as well, could they not have done a "1 out, 1 in" kind of thing?

    Overall very disappointed, but not as much as the guy I was talking to who had come down from Dublin for it. Bad form.

    Really? I was inside with a few people and the rest of my friends were at the arch, I wanted to go out and hurry them up but the security guy I asked said I could only come back in if I had a spare ticket that hadn't been scanned. How did ye get back in?

    You're not going to have any luck, there's no actual tickets, it's just people's names put on a list and a code emailed out. Unless you were sent an email invite you cant get on the list.
