I just...

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?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

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

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

curious, didn't think it would be your thing

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

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

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

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

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

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

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

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...?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

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.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

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

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

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)

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.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Well sometimes what the heh, eh?

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

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

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Well; depends what sort of comics :)

[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 :)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

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

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

In a tent?
There's only one way I'd consider the camping option.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

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

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

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

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Huzah!

Luckily this will be after my non-drinking period!

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

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

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

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. ;)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

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

[emperor]

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

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Violence onna stick!

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

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