I just went shopping legitimately on company time.
I just bought me a download ticket; anyone else going? :)
I just emailed my password to our MIS department for my stonking new PC, but am slightly worried they'll think I'm a psycho because of it...
I just bought a sandwich of dooooooooooom!

I was considering download - what day?

I'm camping for the whole festival; for the whole mud and rock experience.

curious, didn't think it would be your thing

Why not? been to Download before - 2003, when Iron Maiden and Ministry were on the lineup.

Well the prodigy, tool and G'N'R are playing so hey; I can rock for a weekend man. :)

G'n'R? With Axl and Slash? Slash is still going but I haven't heard anything from Axl in a long time...

Axl is G'n'R these days isn't he?
I thought the rest of the band had formed velvet Revolver, which is basically an Axl-and-Traci-free original lineup G'n'R...?

Yep; just so.

But it should be fun to see G'N'R regardless, if it they are somewhat neutered by the lack of slash.

No idea!
I'm not sure Velvet Revolver still exist, Slash is doing Snakepit but might be involved in other things.

I think that VR are still going - it's not 100% possible to tell as they have the most irritatingly designed website ever.

for "G'N'R" read 'Axel's roses still unfettered ego accompneyed by a band of no-bodies lead by a man with a KFC bucket on his head'. not exactly the real thing.

Okay, prodigy and tool i get but i honestly thought the majority of the rest of it was more metal than you. still if you have fun you have fun (and give 36 Crazyfists, Hatebreed, Deftones, and Soulfly a go if you get the chance)

[livejournal.com profile] zellah will be there, I just loaned her the money for her ticket. I'll pass personally, it's way too expensive for what it is imho.

Well sometimes what the heh, eh?

Oh sure. I've spent that much on comics this month, for instance, which is probably considerably more pointless :)

Date: 2006-03-03 02:25 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] robinbloke.livejournal.com
Well; depends what sort of comics :)

Date: 2006-03-03 02:34 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dennyd.livejournal.com
Hehehe.

Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Lucifer volumes 5 through 9, Planetary 1 through 3, and something called Switchblade Honey (which was cheap(ish) and quite good). I think there were a couple of other items too, but I've lost track now :)

That is a bit of a habit you have there! :)

Yeah, a tent, I don't mind for a weekend. I've never gone to a festival before so... what the hey.

It'll be my first, too. We shall be Festival Virgins together. ;)

Huzah!

Luckily this will be after my non-drinking period!

*Grin* I should hope so, too! ;)

Well, happily lent will be over by then, so you can enjoy it properly. *grin*

Half the experience is the camping with a bunch of mates. ;)

It'll be like The Gathering, except with music instead of violence... well, hopefully.

I'm sure you can take your own violence with you ;-)

Violence onna stick!

Best stay away from the front of the stage then! ;)

Like a sandwich of cheese and onion, but it repeats on you a bit more.

You mailed your password to someone else?

Date: 2006-03-03 02:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] robinbloke.livejournal.com
Yes; our MIS department. I wasn't going to lecture them on security... they're just... well.

Date: 2006-03-03 02:24 pm (UTC)

Don't get me started on security. The passwords of the generic blebs is the same as their network username so anyone who knows my work email knows my password.
Not that anyone would be able to do anything with the stuff they can see, industrial espionage on our clients is easier elsewhere.

I'm going through my "quotes from mass murderers" stage for passwords, hence why they may think I'm mad ;)

I'm contemplating Download, but might just go for the day to see Tool, not sure yet.

Aha! Another potential chance to be in the same place and completely miss each other!

I'm quite tempted by Download, if I've got the money and I can organise the leave from the job I will hoefully have by then, I'm game :)
