Have a feeling Broken Social Scene will be a big highlight!

I see from their site that they are playing Dorset on Sunday

Are they Friday???

Would it really kill organizers to release the day breakdown earlier!

Also.... what is the availability of taxis like ... even late night?

Staying off-site for the first time!

Pretty ****, in my experience. Can be lucky but I've had to hang around for over an hour on more than one occasion.
On the plus side, you're not sleeping in a tent, eh?

I have, they are handier for the smaller stage listings that don't appear on the lanyard.

Anyone know is there a lot of security around the carparks on the Sunday nights? Driving up Sunday morning and wanna few drinks during the day so was hoping to sleep in the car rather than trying to sneak into friends in the campsite!

Pretty good in my experience. Never had any problems. Have stayed in Athy before, had a local number and each time we met the driver in Stradbally village. Taxis can come closer but it gets messy in the early hours as a lot of people on the roads trying to hail them. Booking essential, particularly on Saturday night as the drivers have local regular customers heading to pubs/clubs as well as the Picnic crowd. Just let the driver know an hour beforehand and slowly make your way to the meeting point, usually the Supervalu in Stradbally.

Yeah like fark me, they gotta be €3 each and say they produce enough for 1/2, 25000 it's still €75000. That's allot of money for something ppl just throw away!! Must be a sponsored booklet?

Nah, leave Dublin before 2pm and you'll be grand. A bit of traffic on the approach but doesn't get really hairy until a bit later.

You can stay in the car park all you want. You also don't need to sneak into general camping on Sunday Night, you can go back to your friends tent no bother.

Ok ... stocking up on the list you guys kindly provided (thanks folks!)...but quick question on what the showers and stuff are like at EP?

Im assuming the portaloos are grand day 1 and eventually rubbish by day 3 but are there loads of them or are you queuing all weekend.. But what about showers? Are they plentiful? Hot? Mad queues?

Thanks

The showers are grand - they're large portakabins, you go in where there's a large changing room and then into the line of showers which are separated by hanging canvas. Grand and hot.

Showers good. And toilets fine too, though main arena is better than the campsite I reckon. Queues also in the campsite in the morning so it's often worth going into the main arena early when it's relatively quiet and use the toilets there which are far less busy. And cleaner.

Sitting in the office at about 2pm today and had the realisation that this time next week that office would be a field, and I'd have a can in my hand. Bliss. Excitement at an all time high.
