Oh, Hai!
That Emmi type will most likely be up for it too.
I believe that Guntrip will be in attendance too.
like a barbeque?
I'm in.
MEAT UP!!
hello.
thursday might work
late-ish.
i think my camp mates and i are going to spend most of thursday drinking and writing a movie script to sell to The Asylum. TROO STORY.
Good call.
I'll be on site by mid afternoon or so after I stop off in the delightful town of Reading to pick up the Thames Valley contingent.
We will be getting the train
from picturesque Kings Cross.
Also where I work, so I will be wearing a paintball mask in case any of my work colleagues see me in my Festival fatigues. I may have to garrot them in an alleyway if they do.
:|
Oh! Are you pulling a sick day?!
Nah, just a very strict drugs and alcohol policy at work.
So far nobody I work with knows that I am going.
The Asylum?!
As in Transmorphers, I Am Omega, Alien vs. Hunter and SNAKES ON A TRAIN?
yes
we've decided to try and pitch a film to them :D
not an original film, obviously
a thinly-veiled ripoff of a potential 2009 blockbuster.
Okay, thursday nightish then.
Pencil that in for now.
im up for meat
thursday? as in tonight?
I've seen Transmorphers! My mate got it for me. the special effects are beautiful!
yeah, tonight
down by the burger van in green camp, OK EVERYONE?
milkiest jag, have you 'popped' your stash already?
:-D
"That Emmi type"....
what type am I?...
..................
She's that kinda girl
Pretty 'bout 5"6', small hips, with them cinnamon curls
Yes a straight bravado girl
Money for new whips, makin' trips all around the world
Yes she's the kinda girl, always thinkin' on her feet
The type of girl that one day you'd like to meet
Guess I found her, wanna be around her
Really ain't that hard for me to see (yeah)
Yo.
I dunno whther I'm up for this
meeting people off the internet is a bit scary... plus I will most likely be very busy with all my friends and stuff... whats the general plan?
Well.............
we meet at a designated time/place then people nervously amble up and say 'Oh, Hai...R U ultrabeetroot14?', then hilarity ensues!
Will it be a drunken campside party?
I can probably manage that.
Most likely!
Either that or congregate at a certain place with a shedload of alcohol.
Why don't we have a mock 'hippy rave'
without the muggings that is.
Like at the end of Carry on
Camping?
Yeah, that's the one!
:-D
Oi, codders?!
- can we play 5 aside footie all weekend and miss all the bands, booze & fun etc? ;D
Yeah, course you can.
Don't forget to bring at least 3 or 4 gas canisters that you have no intention of using as well!
Well, no intention of using them to cook things anyway ;-)
I'll bring a case of 50.
henrybenryo
i promise i wont stab you (just dont look at me funny)
Yeah! - Knives are for girls!
Me & codswallop are taking shooters!
oh,
i got a gun too. 12 bore mini-reemer
Sweet.
interesting....
I''m very tempted. Depends where and when though.
just heard a girl from work's got 2 tickets for sale!
This is Good News.
I'm up for this if I secure 'em.
secured
sure ting
i know a conglomerate of Nottinghamshire DiSers who are going already. huzzah!
Okay, nice one!
is sound of bastards going?
i dont think so
probably not metal enough for him
he's such a bastard
:P
Guest camping?
hmm
i think i am, not sure about everyone else. you?
I'm coming with you
and I'm bring Spanish and some non-DiSers with me :)
me! me! me!
*raises hand*
i might have to drag along some *gasp* non-DiSer friends though...is that allowed?
As long as they're comfortable around Cybermen!
I will be working there...
as a green 'messenger'. Someone pleeease slip me some alcholic stimulants if you pass me, and I'll be your friend.
Meeting may be good though, as I'm there on my lonesome :(
wut iz a green messenger?
I might be up for some meeting/football
football certainly
ATP football didnt happen because there was a blister over half of my right foot and a burst and i couldnt walk
Spreading the environmental gospel, I'm guessing.
I tell people what bin
to put their rubbish in. No, really...
I get a free entry, which is nice, meeting slash football sounds good.
I'd quite like to
But am I veteran enough?
There are people on this thread.......
who have yet to hit triple figures, so I would have to respond with an emphatic YES!
Noice, fuckin' noice
I will contact someone later to the date.
Well, it will be my first time at Latitude.
has anyone got their tickets yet
?
yes
i ordered from ticketweb and got mine last week
i don't think seetickets have started sending out yet though as usual
Nope, I haven't got mine yet.
I am with good ol See tickets.
I love that company.
Up for meeting
Designated time and place would be good, at least I won't be stuck with the couple I'm going with, arguing and killing my evening!I just rather stupidly posted a new post on the music bit about hanging out with people from here. I bet someone has shouted at me for doing that by now. No, actually, I was ignored, fair enough!
I may join you all
Meeting interweb peoples doesn't seem half as scary when you're going to the festival on your own anyway.
id like to
can i come?
Right we need some detailz........
Firstly, absolutely every DiSer is more than welcome whether your post count is in the single figures or of Jamie Summersesque proportions.
Friday night seems like the best time to do it as Thursday will most likely be a bit hectic with everyone working out where stuff is, pitching tents, finding their mates et al
May I suggest that the time should be 30 mins or so after the mainstage headliner* to give people as chance to congregate?
So, would a Latitude veteran like to suggest a good place to hook up on the Friday night?
Useful prerequisites would be:
- Fairly central
- Near a bar
- Near bizarre nocturnal attractions
*If anyone knows when they pull the plug on the mainstage please post, then we can confirm a timing for the aforementioned meat.
There's a rather large tree
right at the back of the main stage which pretty much centres the festival - last year i used that meeting spot, it's a good 'un!
liftshare
so, wheres this meet? has it happned yet? also, i need to grab a lift with someone from north london if anyones from there and has a spare seat. i'll pay for petrol and bring beer & amusements.
See below.
:D
Oh man I loved that tree
Nice one Spanish.
Lets do the tree!
Good stuff, the tree it is!
What time will Franz Ferdinand finish then? Shall we say 00.30 on the Friday night(That's 30 mins past Midnight for non-24 hour clock types!) by the aforementioned massive tree?
Lets do it.
I'll be drinking red wine from a flask and shouting 'Take Me Out' if everything goes to plan.
im going to mix ecstasy and sherbet lemons
it will be a fizzy sensation.
I think
they may finish like 11ish..., the bands are definitely finished by 11:30 I THINK!
(i know "definitely" and "think" don't really work in a sentence.)
but oo.30 is a good time
will see you there...
*excited*
and
*nervous*
Okay, I will be there!
I'm in.
And so are as many people as I can convince to camp with me - so if you're going to Latitude on your own, and fancy some DiS camping company, pretty please go look at my Latitude Loners thread.
Ta!
you're a nottingham
DiSer? hai !
Well I am from there.
But I secretly live in Leeds now.
"Don't shoot me"!!!
(good nottingham joke)
the stereotype
can sometimes be fun to work with!
You mean like
when I pretend to mug my friends?
It's a pretty funny joke, and also I get some free money.
I'm not really
going on my own but there's a chance I'll spend most of it away from the people I'm going with. I'll see what happens at this "tree" place everyone's talking about...
I may join in on this japery
so on the following Monday I can start a thread saying "I GOT GANG-RAPED BY PEOPLE OFF THE INTAWEBZ" on the Social Boards and it gets zero replies.
i'm in
relatively new to DiS but a Latitude loner so you'll just have to put up with me...
I'm starting to worry
that I don't have my ticket yet.....
Nor me
But I haven't checked seetickets tracker thing yet...
Mine has just arrived
Special Delivery though which is a shag for people who are at work, ie: 90% of the people going.
Mine was delivered to the wrong address.
I am collecting it from the box office on site now.
I made them e-mail me to confirm it so that all I have to do is take the e-mail.
Here is the customer service number if you need it:
01159 454590
So
The bands finish at 11.30pm, so shall we make the meet midnight at the tree, yes?
I assume the plan is chat for a bit then on to Guilty Pleasures for some pleasurable guilt?
Well, we previously agreed on 00.30........
some of those that have posted on this thread won't look at it again before the event so probably best to stick to the original plan.
It also gives us more leeway in case of overrun/crowds of real life non-internet people milling about!
I may well
Pop over to the DiSers. I don't know any of you but there is only 2 of us going so may come check the banter out!
similarly...
is there some sort of secret handshake? Or will the DiSers all be wearing Foals t-shirts?
You can always spot DiS people......
they're dazed by the combination of being outdoors and being surrounded by real 3D people.
and saying ^This^
after agreeing with someone's statement.
Ha yeah
I think I'll be able to spot a group of DiSers. I'll prob be wearing a no age t-shirt, says it all really.
I may well go...
if I'm not working, and don't get a sudden attack of shyness. I'll be the one with cake*
*Cake may have been eaten
...do you mean cake in the sense that a Brass Eye
viewer would understand?
If so, I'll trade you some Clarky Cats for it.
