I'm not camping with you lot, but may come and say hello.
Unfortunately have to work till 5 on Friday, so can't make the traditional 6 o'clock bar session, but if a couple of people could PM me mobile numbers I'll find you and bug you at some point
(yeah I know I had some from last year, but then I went abroad and my phone lost all it's numbers so I need them again).

Has everyone had their tickets by now? Friends of mine have not got theirs yet, and as they can not come themselves, they are passing them on to the people I am camping with. So we are getting a bit worried. I have told them to phone Greenbelt, but thought I should check out here with the fonts of all Greenbelt knowledge whether or not all tickets should have arrived by now.

Isn't it that if your tickets are ordered after a certain date, you have to collect them and they're not sent out. Mebbe that?

Has anyone done their Heaven In Ordinary box thing yet? Or are you all too busy drying out tents and sorting food out.
We presume that ship mates will be on the steps in the grandstand behind the winged ox at 6 on Friday as usual.
I will make sure the new Book is in the Tank from about then.

re: tickets. I just got an email from GB which includes the information that if you've not got tickets they can be collected from the "pre paid" window at the ticket office. You just need the booking reference number and some ID - though I'm not sure how that'll work if the people picking up the tickets aren't the people who bought them.

Original purchaser calls the nice people, gives them the reference number and tells them who really *will* be picking it up.
I hope that works, anyway. WD is counting on it

Sorry, I haven't answered. Yes please, if I may. It'll be me and one modest tent (I hope - I haven't seen it yet), arriving at some indeterminate time after taking the cat to the vet and the cattery...she's going to hate me...

Disaster has struck. Just realised that Duke Special (why did nobody tell me that he was Booley reincarnate........ why didn't I go and hear him last year? I love Booley ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif) ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ) AND Delirious are playing on Monday night. Our babysitters normally go home on Monday. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif) Would take the children to improve their taste in music but our son is Loud Music Phobic (unless it's twinkle twinkle of course ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ) and we couldn't go in the mosh pit with 2 under 4's any way.... Must try and talk someone in to staying later. Anyone know how late they are playing??

dfg are a group whose work is a mixture of performance poetry/comedy/satire set to music on Christian attitudes, mental illness etc. They try to be outrageous. I understand that the young men involved take this venture extremely seriously as an artistic enterprise, even if it looks as though it is supposed to be a bit of a spoof or a laugh. Some of it is rather funny and they are a bit of a cult Greenbelt thing. Does that help at all?

That depends on what time the band you want to see is on, and last time I looked at the GB website that specificity of information wasn't there (we were looking to see how late McGyvers Apprentice can get to the site and still make it to Billy Bragg on Friday). It also depends on whether there are alternatives to grannies baby-sitting (eg: could you take the kids and stand far enough back to hear them without being too loud for the kids?)

I should be working, but instead I seem to be alternating between looking out of my office window at the sunshine and blue sky ...bliss... and re-reading the GB listings with quivering anticipation. Over The Rhine! Stop-motion animation for adults! Great Vespers! Also that dfg lot you were all going on about, who seem entertainingly weird-ass.
More blue sky...

Welsh Dragon is presumably right.
And WD pegged dfg spot on.
Probably will never have mass market appeal but they do challenge and, sometimes, send me into fits of laughter.

They all do. The problem is workign out which two minutes. Sometimes it is the first two minutes of your attempt to put it up. Sometimes it is the two minutes that start twenty-five minutes later.

So good she said it twice!
Dave is looking for the water carrier under the stairs. We tried putting the tent up in the garden - to check we had all the bits etc - until it started to rain very unpredictably. I have been sulking by the computer ever since. I have managed to find a list of things I wanted to take to Grrenbelt last time in my back files. It includes a doormat, a dustpan and brush, German bread, T lights and bubbles. Hmmm, we may be revising this.

I put the tent in the car as I went down this morning, and a few other odds and ends are now there. I'll have to sort most of the stuff out soon ready for the load up in the morning and the off. We'll be staying overnight on the way, it's just too far with the wee wan unless we want to get there after 7pm on Friday. I probably won't know until we're heading back whether we can do the trip back on Tuesday and stick to just four days off work, or whether we'll need an overnight going home too.

Am I right or not? (Just trying to get a vague idea cos it sounds like Auntie Doris and I will be the first there).
I also would like to camp with Shipmates, the other person I was going to come with isn't coming any more. I will PM you, Pants, with my mobile number.
Of course, I have a spare ticket going free to a good home and some useful stuff like a spare tent (sleeps 2) if anyone wants it. I also have one of those tables with built in chairs and some gas lamps and inflator.
