So, twenty five of us, eh? Out of six thousand. Well, if any of you see a guy in his late-thirties wondering around in a Jolie Youth t-shirt on the Friday, do come and say hello.

a lot of folks coming from overseas this time... i think i recognise about 10 voters being from outside of the UK.

yeah its a really popular one this year. the line up is amazing though. i wonder who else will be there?

I think a few people I am acquainted with are going. It will be like some odd weekend long dream I think.

bumpin' cuz I'm going!!

this is good news :)

Hey - I am selling 2 tickets for face value - And i have permission from ATP to sell them so you will gain entryu to the festival! Visit my ebay auction

Thanks a lot

Yes I am:-D

I'm attending but it's a long way from Manchester. Going to set off after work Friday and get there about 10.30pm then leave at 1am on monday morning and go straight to work. Such is the sonic life.

I'm going too! Any chance of sharing some of that absinthe?? Think me and some buddies are going to be having a party on the saturday night if anyone wants to come... could be a real blast - especially with the absinthe!!

Evvvvveerrrryyyybbboooooddddyyy is gonna having a party. I think everyone should go down to the beach.:D

I'm all about beach action in December. I have been itching to feel the sand between my toes since my last sandy adventures in September. It was warm-ish then but it had rained heavily the night before and during that morning and the sand was still damp and cold under the surface...that was the best.

i'm packing for it tonight.

Have fun Cantankerous, we want pics.

Why would you even doubt that there wont be any?

I might be taking a video camera...there might be video of things.

tough shit, i'm taking my film camera.

are we talking about our chalet as well iain?

that could be rather drunk

Haha....maybe. I'll be trying to be behind the camera as much as possible.

I splashed out and booked myself train tickets. No 6/7 hours on a bus for me. Hurrah!

The train only goes as far as Taunton, though. Anyone know how much the bus is from Taunton to Minehead?

Oh, but you're such a handsome young* thing, you should show off your dashing manly looks.

*I can't remember if you're older or younger than me, sorry.

Haha...I can't remember although I fear possibly older (26)

You fear correctly. I'm 25 next year.

Woo! I win!

Awesome! I am going with three friends :)
xx

i plan to take pics but not be on any of them.

I don't mind being in stills but not on video. I emailed the woman from Warp films who is organising this ATP film with that guy who directed Tarnation. They needed extra people to video stuff...so I might be doing that...although I have reservations about what they seemingly want/hope to achieve.

ok, that didn't quite work so well. It was the weather forecast for the weekend (in Bristol...closest weather station I could find on wunderground.com..and yeah, I'm a borderline weather geek.) That actually looks not bad...only 20-30% chance of precipitation and maybe even a nice sunday. I know it's all indoors but I really want to run around on the beach with clear blue skies....

Weather is awesome at the moment.Strong winds and clear sky.Inspiration abounds.

ok, bbc website is more optimistic (that's friday, saturday and sunday)...if only. It will probably piss it down all weekend. Nice day today though.

The Met Office website says:

South-West England - Outlook for Friday to Sunday
Further showers on Friday though fewer on Saturday and the winds should ease a touch too. Wet and windy on Sunday.

The nearest more specific forecast I could find for somewhere coastal was for a place called Watchet, and that's here.
