Electric Picnic in September...

How does one take this: Electric Picnic in September...

and make it all blue and clickable and stuff?

not sure what went wrong with yr first post though...

...did you do <a href="thread url here">ILM thread</a> ?

I do think that it has become overambitious. Two days was perfect, I hate having to take 2 days off of work for it but what can you do?

Sooo hungover today (midweek drinking? You'd never believe it!) so it just seems like such a *bad idea* for it to last that long!

I thought the tickets were all sold out?

who else is going this year? 1st time going there this year. long time since ive done a whole weekend camping. jesus the heady days of Feile was the last time.....The Fall have been added! they rarely do festival either which is even more of a surprise...

I'm still going. Not very excited about it. Would have opted out this year if I could. The line up is still no great shakes...

I was wrong. Had a great time, good line up and plenty to do. Anyone else?

i had an absolute blast. ill defintely be going again next year. lcd soundsystem were SAVAGE.

True dat. I was amazed at how class the light show for chemical brothers was.

Okay, so I know the lineup is shite or whatever. But I really wanna see My Bloody Valentine and Grace Jones, and you know they've been adding stuff to the line up. Any you nice Irish ILXORs wanna hook a bro up? I need two, badly and all my leads have fallen through. Here I was thinking nobody wanted to go!

Bump!

Tonne of tickets being sold here. Line up still shite regardless of later additions. Cannot face the thing this year. IKR, are there none available on the site?

says tickets sold out. Where are tickets being sold?!

All of these are at least okay. Some are brilliant (although I only put Giveamanakick in because I go to college with the drummer[?] but have never bothered to see them)

admittedly some of those are based on one song I heard on an ad or something.

You have to see Booka Shade. They are brilliant live!

There are a bunch of people selling in Dublin. Over the next few days more people will sell due to weather etc. Keep your ear to the ground.

maybe shouldn't have said all that stuff about dublin!!!

Booka shade are on the first night which would be a really good way to get in the spirit!

I know someone in Galway who was selling theirs for 250 a pop. Will I see if they're still available?

Also not to worry about Dublin comments, envy is the green eyed monster that doth mock etc etc (guess which play was my leaving cert :) )

Oh, shit, didn't see this! Is he selling just one? Cos the thing is, I made a pact with a friend of mine so if I get one I'm bound by trust to get a second, so the pressure would really be on!!!

He's sold both unfortunately. Sorry IKR. Best of luck with the hunt.

Thanks for emailing him anyway! You can go on my list of things that are alright with the capital ; )

Cheers! Will let you know if I hear of any.

Booka Shade (who I've never heard) are on at the exact same time as Digitalism (who are great, obv). Mental scheduling.

But yes, I'm excited!

Oh, I should note that I definitely can't go to electric picnic, but I'm very happy about what's on instead
