Stalked this thread for the past few weeks and only remembered my password now.

Staying Boutique because I'm just not tough enough for the mean streets of the other campsites, not sure where my limo driving is staying but that is not my problem .

Thanks to all for making this thread so helpful over the last few days, esp Villian for the weather updates. Everyone enjoy and if you see a stately looking gent in a fur coat wandering around the main arena return him to Boutique as I'm clearly lost.

Not stately enough but close enough I guess.

Arriving late Friday so aiming for the small Chaplin site just to the right of the wrist band exchange. Anyone stayed there?

Wilde is grand if you dont mind about 600 overdoses each morning, people pissing on your tent every two seconds, lads so out of it they run around falling into tents/ breaking them (and noses) from 3-7am every morning, pulling up pegs and rows/ threats of violence at least once an hour...

Wilde has gone to ****e.

Only just noticed having done my clashfinder that I was missing my annual fix of Cathy Davey.

There's no Hazelwood stage listed on the fecking thing at all.

So "wilde" by nature eh? I didn't find Warhol too bad last year, not in our area anyway.

I'm going with either Warhol or Joplin this year, I think.
Just put off by the trek in but think it'll be worth it all the same (from what I hear!)

I do love that the Salty Dog is just at the entrance of Wilde but hey ho..

Stayed there last year for the first time. Walk was further, but otherwise grand. Like Wilde used to be.

Same for me with the Hendrix, never had any issues. I think there are a few idiots everywhere, you just need to keep your wits about you regardless of where you are

Never been before. Actually the most excited I have been in an awful long time!

Usually stay in Joplin: never had a sniff of trouble and while the walk's a bit longer it's always 'interesting'.
