Just going around throwing thanks at everyone's posts left right and centre. You're a fab bunch, it'll be funny not knowing if any of us will be standing next to one another at any point over the weekend( for those that don't know eachother )
Much love!

Some Electric Picnic listenin' if you're looking for something on the spin up or while you're still packin' like me now, bring on tomorrow - wooooo!

That's a lovely mix, fair play. Will be playing it in the car on the way down

Canneverfindit

Just as I thought I was all set and had escaped all mishaps and illness (do genuinely feel sorry for those of you with recently broken bones/ colds and flues this week- I haven't been well with a chronic condition for the past few years and this has been my best picnic health to date) I went and did the most ridiculous thing possible this evening and have burned my arse SO badly that I genuinely can't sit down.

Before anyone says it, I'm well aware sun-beds are a stupid and ridiculous move. I generally wouldn't go near one BUT I made a once off exception and decided to- because I was away in the sun for a couple of weeks recently and got a lovely colour. I have a wedding next week and a big work function the week after that. In my wisdom, I thought that a couple of once off sunbed sessions this week and next to keep my lovely holiday colour for these events would be ok. I promised I'd never do it again.

Went this evening after work. Did 6 minutes lads. 6 minutes.

My tan is topped up wonderfully. On the areas that had previously built up a tan.

What I didn't factor in was the fact that my arse didn't receive any colour on hols. I didn't lie bare arsed on the beach.

The result- beetroot red bum. I'm not exaggerating- it's horrendous.

I showed my husband this evening and the helpful bastard just cried laughing.

I've been moisturising the ****e out of it but it's not working.
^^ ("ive been moisturising the ****e out of my arse all night and it's not working" with that statement I've hit a new low in life)

I wouldn't care if it wasn't EP weekend but - here's my problem. (Pain aside! I'll numb that with cans!) My stock of go to, comfy festival clothes mainly comprises of shorts, leggings and jeans.

The burn is from the bottom of my cheeks (you are welcome) to waist level. I just can't cope with a waistband right now. I tried a few different options tonight but it's agony.
I'm going to have to wear a dress. A ****ing dress to EP. None of my dresses are the particularly cool festival type dresses either SO - to cut a VERY long story short- should you see a girl, with seriously formal attire/ and an over dressed appearance (complete with wellies and a woolly jumper) that's me.

Please feeel free to come over and buy me a drink cos it's my birthday on Saturday but please don't mention my arse in person because I'll get embarrassed.

In nicer news, secured the day off tomorrow and, like Synode- will be heading to Stradbally as soon as we drop the kids to school/ I get the arse moisturised again.

Amazing what a few hours can do- am all packed and organised.
Am SO excited now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best post in the entire thread. Lock it up, mods. God bless you, Canneverfindit.

Myself and herself returned from a 3 week honeymoon on Sunday and in my depressed state I said to her "should we sell our tickets?"

She replied "think about this,sleep on it for a few days and don't make any rash (stupid) decisions!"

Thank Christ I did or else I'd be in a fair bad mood now....unbelievably excited

My first EP, only midway through packing and I just feel ridiculously excited!

One of those things where you're sort of detached from the hype and then all of a sudden you're just like AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

I believe Interpol are playing their entire first album, which I bloody adored when I was around 15 so definitely need to check them out.

I have no idea about this stuff and the map isn't clear and I'm sure it's been asked a million times... but how far is it from one of the furthest car parks to the Wilde campsite? I have so much stuff in the car that it's way easier to just do 2 trips or go back to it when I need to. Don't know how people do public transport for this! My friends will have already set up the tent but I won't get there til around 5.

Yeah they are...they had been playing it during the middle section of their set list but the last few gigs they've started with TOTBL and then played extra songs to finish up.

I can't wait to hear that intro for Untitled...enjoy!

@canneverfindit, get pure aloe vera gel tomorrow morning, chemist, Body Shop, Health stores. It will help hugely, used it after laser treatment on delicate areas! Lash it on all day, also neurofen for the pain.

Just a Frames song I like, the mix is vinyl only and don't have too much choice of his solo stuff (i.e. I don't any of it )

Cheers man, think this is the 3rd year I've done one, something to get me/others in the mood for the weekend - would like to have had more time to prep or have another go at it but I started college this week so have been up the walls. It's my birthday tomorrow (well, now!) so Picnic is always an excuse to go mad

Ok- brilliant. I will do- few stops to make on the journey so I'll make this one a priority. thanks so much, you little star! X

I've followed this thread since it started as I decided this time last year to get tickets to EP 2017 and am 99% sure that I've read all posts.

I listened to the playlist created by someone here over the last few months repeatedly and can safely say my eyes have been opened to some great acts that I never heard of before, and probably never would have if not for EP.

I put together my itinerary using Pablos brilliant app and really struggled to decide on some of the clashes. Literally had an act for every hour.

Really looking forward to getting to Stradbally tomorrow morning and soaking it all in. The posters here have really helped to build up the hype.

Have a great weekend, and don't kick us young people too hard. Some of us are sound. (Especially the group of us you'll see at These Charming Men)

Canneverfindit

Please don't shout me as I know this is likely to be a repeat question but is there a meet this year that I missed?

Pablo and I actually managed to meet in 2015! <WAS a bit star struck to be fair>

Hahaha please get eyeliner and write canneverfindit on your forehead so we can all buy you an ice cold drink. For your bum.
How does one approach a boards meet - walk up to the allocated meeting spot looking shifty and announce your username?

Reded

Night night everyone!! It's a cold night here so wrap up warm!

rockatansky

Doesn't need to be said but I'll say it anyway, don't forget the wellies! The car parks and side paths are starting to turn very muddy!

Snap of the salty dog just now attached!

Jayop

Ffs I'm going to spend the whole weekend now looking for the girl in a fancy dress with wellies (standing up of course) with a big bottle of aloe Vera in one hand and a can of Carlsberg in the other.

That's pretty much it! In 2015, there was a couple of minutes of eyeing each other awkwardly and circling the salty dog but no actual approach for fear of getting it wrong.

It was like we were there to exchange the microfilm..

Sorry to laugh at you misery but this has to be the post of the forum!

In an effort to be constructive there are usually stalls selling fierce cool gunnas there (but health warning you are taking fashion advice from someone who's kids are laughing at my array of floral shirts packed for the weekend.)

How has this not occurred to me??? Around the back of Body and Soul? You're right! Legend!

Paleblood

Safe trip everyone and enjoy the weekend. Be sensible with the drink, be careful with the narcotics if that's your bag, and if you see a lonely old soul looking for a shift, well just take one for the team and given them a spin because it's probably a Boardsie.

you're probably talking about 30mins from the back of the car park fields to Wilde, could well be longer depending on how much stuff you have though and if there's queues to get in.
best plan is to just take your food/booze/toiletries/warm clothes to get through Friday night/Saturday morning, and then go out to the car tomorrow after you get up.

most people just end up sitting outside their tents for the first couple of hours after getting up anyway, and the walk will wake you up after the usual Friday night over-indulgence
