You better set up with Robboo or someone to cover your games while you are out.

I must be getting old, or out of touch with the music scene. I only counted 3 bands I would want to see in all your listing.

I know the feeling, I used to go the festvals but I don't recognise many of the bands on now [sad]

Well ive been playing the last weeks but yeah i dont think he'll mind theres a fair chance you'll be dead by then anywhoo and if rob cant then we'll just have to pause the game.

I also hear Arcade Fire has the potential to be something someday.

[BCLG100]

arcade fire are very very good.

im surprised people havnt heard of arctic monkeys/kasabian/bloc party/kaiser chiefs :)

[bed_head7]

Arcade Fire are already very much something today.

[Whomp]

OK I listened to a couple of their songs. I like them.

[BCLG100]

which ones? they've got two albums iirc neon bible and funeral. Both similar yet entirely different if that makes sense?

[Whomp]

A song called rebellion. What are your favorites?

[BCLG100]

I do like rebellion, like neighbourhood#3 (power out) (listening to it now!) and also keep the car running, intervention, goodnight boy.

both albums are very sound.

[BCLG100]

Heres a full list of the bands im seeing at glastonbury
http://glasto.clashfinder.co.uk/view.htm

obviously not all of em but a fair few hopefully, im missing arcade fire out to see kasabian but luckily can watch arcade fire at leeds fest!

[BCLG100]

Well im off in about 10 hours so i'll probably still be on here till about 4 hours to go but just saying bye bye am off to glastonbury soon.

Apparantly the weather is gonna be shit :(

[mauer]

That's ok, the music should make up for it eh?

[Furiey]

What do you mean shit weather? It's going to be traditional for Glastonbury! At least it was pissing down each time I went.

Have fun!

[BCLG100]

And good god it was shit, im back now though not able to play civ till the weekend so if the folk subbing for me could carry on if not then no worries :)

[Furiey]

I thought of you when I saw the pictures, it wasn't as bad as that the last time I went, there were even short sunny bits between the rain to allow us to dry out a bit. At least it wasn't further north though - it would have been a boating lake!

[BCLG100]

Well i think i've finally managed to play all pbems that i need too, if someone hasn't got a save and is expecting one just give me a shout and ill go have a look see.

[BCLG100]

Right off to leeds a week on wednesday, heres the conundrum i pose to you all.

I have the option of bringing a plastic sledge thing (free as we have one at home)
http://www.newitts.com/product/IT001664/Plastic_Sledge.htm
Or
http://amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/B000FTG244/ref=s9_asin_title_1/203-1843785-9788720?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=15CJAXCKE7NTMWHY36KB&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=125824291&pf_rd_i=468294
Now obviously price is the key thing here, also availiability, if i don't decide soon i wont be able to get them in time.

oh btw for anyone that hasnt worked it out, this is for carrying booze. I figure over the weekend theres gonna be the need for about 3-4 crates and seeing as when you get there a crate costs 20 quid+ i'd rather bring my own!
