    Surely they'd let you bring a drawstring bag in? The women will definitely be allowed
    backpacks and rucksacks it said i think? or maybe that was Slane.
    more to discourage people as they'll have to check them properly, i'm sure plenty of people will have small bags.

    Just got into town, loads of young party people about Hueston Station trying to down the last of the bottled stash they have. No bags, none have bags of any sort. Some look like they went up to the gardens then came back the direction of train station, they could be using lockers in Hueston?, I dunno. I'm not going in till later, just want to catch Orbital tonight. Its all about tomorrow evening for me.

    Not a bad idea, to be fair.

    Yeah but just to be warned, I think if you go into the venue and then go back out, they won't let you back in the second time, I'm not sure about that but I think I seen that rule someplace. I was going to book the hotel beside the station but seen that little doozie so didn't bother.

    I'd say the ground be grand, few little showers, beaming sunshine here at the moment at Christchurch

    It's more that I'm coming up from bog land, and will have **** with me, going out straight after, so change of clothes may be needed.

    Aphex @ Field Day - words (mostly) fail me. Watching it on my tv is one thing, can't wait to bathe in the sonic and visual assault in person tomorrow.

    Held up pretty well, there was a torrential downpour during Orbital, but it seems to be pretty dry out there now it's probably had time to dry out a bit since.

    I'll be wearing runners. I'm from the Midlands and people are never quite sure if wellies are part of my normal attire. So I'll be wearing Converse to avoid the confusion.

    Ground was grand yesterday. Got a bit sloppy on the hill at the main stage during the downpour but say it's ok now. Wouldn't see any need for wellies.

    €6 for Pints of Bulmers, Outcider and Five Lamps. €8 for Cocktails. Annoylingly if you want outcider or a cocktail you have to go a special bar for each, Bulmers and Five Lamps can be gotten in the Core Bar and over by the Bulmers live stage,

    Your wan just gave a cursory glance in the general direction of my bag. My friend who was behind me however was throughly searched. Must just have an innocent face! Seen lads in there with backpacks, no idea how they got in!

    From the amount of empty naggins I saw on the ground plenty did.

    Unreal craic. I got soaked for it. "The girl with the sun in her hair", it wasn't! It was beyond brilliant anyways. Great atmosphere. Can't wait for tonight. If you see a guy in white aphex logo t-shirt with black jacket going all out later tonight, come on over for a pinteen!

    Amazing atmosphere here today, much better than last couple of years (which were great).

    Easy access to bars and food, sunshine, no one acting the maggot and Peggy Gou in a tent.

    Heaven!

    Found Aphex Twin to be slightly underwhelming to be honest.

    Aphex twin show was unreal. Was up the front, absolute next level entertainment. When the visuals of Tubridy/Enda/Leo/Twink came on I literally lost the piss out of my pants. The Machinedrum tune coming on was the hghlight for me also 10/10

    I would agree with the next level entertainment statement - for an electronic artist. Clearly the most accomplished artist there, thought he would of been better though, pretty good though. Wouldnt go back to this festival though myself - getting old i guess!

    Well that was something special. About four thousand people getting blasted with jungle which ends abruptly, followed by screeching analogue and white noise and bass. Unbelievably good. Sun Ra would approve.

    Aphex was the highlight for me but it was let down by a poor crowd. But that's city festivals for you. I'd love to see him with a Bloc type crowd.
