    Shop around though as you may get a better price elsewhere.

    Once the excitement rolls around, the butterflies in your tummy will scare that bug off so you'll be grand!

    I'm pretty sure you can only buy cans in the slab of 24 in the off licence on site. A slab is €60 which is only good value if you are a cider drinker!

    Sound, i reckon i'll get my cans before hand so.
    As for feeling sick, yeah i'll get over it. 2 yrs since ive been and really looking forward to it. And this time i have the whole week off after it so i can die then lol!

    Weather dosent look too bad either. Maybe, just maybe there is a God after all....

    I recommend a rain jacket, waterproof leggings and a poncho, might seem like overkill but it's the only way to keep dry!

    weather won't be too bad. We'll get rain late on friday and early saturday but scattered showers for the rest.

    We'll be fine. i find focusing on the weather too much can take away from the build up buzz. You then look back and think 'what the hell was i worrying about'.

    This dry week will do wonders for the ground too. it's not going to be as bad as that saturday at Oxegen. that's a bonus.

    good point, i tend to get hung up on the weather and once I'm in the middle of having fun (and possibly drunk) I look back and wonder what all the fuss was about.

    i was in an outdoor shop this morning and asked the chap for three pairs of the warmest socks he had?
    'ah that'll be the himalaya sock' he said '96 euro please'
    needless to say the himalaya socks are still hanging in the shop

    holy fcuk! Insane. Get yourself a few pairs of football socks, thick and long, should do the job to keep you warm.

    I did up a clashfinder which contains most of the currently known info (still need the main stage, electric arena etc). I'll keep updating it as I find more. You'll find it here

    Get a poncho. They will not cause you to sweat like a rapist and are easy to throw on/off.

    Communal. As I learned after about an hour of queueing. I *think* you can pay for private ones.

    Train to Portlaoise and then a taxi?

    If you try over on the Electric Picnic forum you might find other volunteers in the same boat that you might be able to team up with.
