skins (5 packs in individual ziploc bags distributed around your belongings)
Lighters (you can never have too many… I usually bring about 10 and give away 5 late at night to people getting excited about finding someone with a lighter)

I'm def one of those people that gets excited to find someone with a lighter!

it takes alot to pack out the EA. Not certain how much it holds but its at leasta few thousand when full

Last year the EA was a smaller striped tent, not the usual large blue tent.

My lovely wife is knitting me a beer mitt so my hand doesn't freeze off. Lesson from last year: A cold beer in your hand in the wee hours when you're wrecked and really should be in your bed can feel like a block of ice after a while.

Allright folks, stupid question, and proabably has already been answered, but what time do the bars/drinking tents stay open till???

Cheers......

diorolyte, solpadine, bit of food and a drink of water after 12 cans will leave you feeling fresh as ****. Two wrongs dont make a right but eventually if you take enough chemicals you come full circle and can go about your day

Been doing that for years, except its penneys mittens for me! Im not that domesticated to be knitting. One for me, one for my friend and a spare pare in the rucksack.

Aside from the obvious stuff I always bring:

a cup for mixing drinks(/taking dioralyte)!
headtorch
lighters
compact mirror
electrical tape
a watch (so I'm not using my phone for the time)
glowsticks for the tent (instead of destroying retinas with the torch!)
marker (for writing phone numbers on the prone to wandering members of the group so someone can contact us if found...)!

Mixing cup, an essential

Thanks, now i know how much to stock up in the lockers

Am I missing something with SBTRKT? I have only listened to a little of their (his?) stuff plus a few mins of a Boiler Room session but find it quite low tempo and monotonous. Am I getting it all wrong here as everyone seems to rave about them?

Thought this when i first heard them too but then got his album and after a couple of listens it is absolutely brilliant! puts on a great show with Sampha and Drake (although im not a fan) has even used a couple of their songs as backing tracks

Noooo, I write my or someone else's number on their arm in a 'IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN TO X' kinda way. Reserved for people with a history of getting overly giddy and lost!

everlast75

Had an absolutely c*ntish week so far.

Cannot wait to pack my sh*t up and head off to a weekend of music, drink and not giving a toss!!!

mrscloudatlas

Wooley hat with ear flaps plus ear plugs!

Quiet and snug.

Rewind83

Can't wait to let loose on the floor at Le galaxie!!

The weather is looking promising, the forecast early in the week sounded fairly grim, it was the only thing consoling me for not going

My tips on stuff to bring for what it's worth:

Sausages and rashers precooked for Saturday breakfast.

Hip flasks or capri sun pouches for getting drink into the main arena.

Ear plugs

Enjoy anyone who's going as I shall be un subscribing from this thread now to prevent insane jealousy kicking in.
