Are you going to ATP (the poll version)
 

Every time there's a "who's going to ATP" thread I lose track of who's said what, and, beyond about half a dozen names, I have no idea who's actually going from off the board. So, do me a favour will you, if you're going please can you vote "yes" above. It's one of those polls where you can see who has voted what, so hopefully it should provide a more understandable "who's going" list.

Thanks.

(Do feel free to discuss your attendance as well, though, otherwise I'm going to have to keep bumping this thread every five minutes)

yes and i am looking forward to it so bloody much.

gahh, still fucking annoyed with myself! nope, not going.

I'm tempted to say I'm not going and vote yes, or vice versa. I can't actually be arsed, however.

Yes, I am going. With bells on. Actual bells as well, like a reindeer.

I am going, not that anyone cares because my posts are not in the thousands, but i will be there and i will have absinthe.

Don't sell yourself short. We have nothing against people who have better things to do than post on this board at all hours.

What does absinthe taste like?

There's a literal answer and a poetic answer - it being a Parisian tipple, this is only natural.
Literally, it's a bit like a cross between Pernod and that sugary purple cough syrup you had until you were 6 and then you had to have the horrid orange one.
Poetically, it's like the fire of untold passion cascading down the back of your throat to spur you into spontaneity and forest related hijinks

Hmm... I think the literal answer has put me off the idea of experiencing the poetic one.

It sounds worse than it is, but you don't drink it for the taste, you drink it because it has at least 150% of the alcohol content of a strong vodka and gets you blasted. Plus there's never really a hangover, as long as you don't mix it.

It taste like sodding aniseed.

Yes I am going. Showing off me SY tat (not really). It is gonna rule. That is all.

ok, im now fucking raging im not going..........

yeh, can't wait

I won't be attending.

Im not, because i will have a Neuroscience exam on the Friday. I probably should have still got a ticket anyway, but i didnt and thats that. Frankly ive been in a state of despair about this for months, i even emailed my tutor asking if the exam dates were concrete. I considered killing one of my nearest-and-dearest but its not come to that..... yet.

Ive still never seen Sonic Youth play. :(

I will also not be in attendence.

yes, i am.
you are probably aware of it, stephen.
thanks, i probably wouldn't if not yr. offer!

is it cold in somerset in december, hehe?

yup. can't wait. I'm already packed.
bit bummed about only being allowed into one of the two shows by both the stooges and sy though, what the fuck is that all about!

Me too! I'm trying to work out some way of swinging it, but I doubt that'll be possible. How frustrating is it going to be knowing they're playing and not being able to get into the venue!?

see you there, motherfuckers.

I expect a Diesel visit for xmas.

Not if I see you first...haha. Are you seriously going because for some reason I sort of don't believe it. Apologies for doubting you...I have no reason to...I just do for some reason. Infact, I can barely believe that anyone from here will actually be there. It'll be like apparitions from the spirit world crossing over.

I'll be there with bells on though. Figuratively speaking that is.

yes i am seriously going, and you can't believe it because its because you can't really believe that someone as lurid depraved as i c ould actually exist in real life.

It's not economically possible to leave the country at this point.

i dont think its that. i didnt think you were going to go either.

so if all the people from the board go and wear bells we will all know who we are then.

Did Truncated once say that she was coming too, or is that just wishful thinking?

I have bought my ticket quite a while ago and am looking forward to pay the UK a visit as well as attentding the gigs.Are there any other folks from round my area going on this forum?

You know cantankerous, the St Louis girl who's been mentioned to you in the introduce yourself thread? She's going.

That's great sonicl.Thanks for the information.

Is it because you don't have a ticket, Pauly?

You're a wise man, and hopefully generous with it. I've got some fancy whiskey for one of the days and some absinthe for general pootling around the site type action. Also some K for those cold winter nights. Huzzahdotcom!

How odd that you assume I am a man...

I am not a man, quite the opposite, but I am generous, particularly with absinthe as it makes me quite mad if I have too much of it.

My apologies for the gender mix-up. Perhaps you could consider more comments along the lines of, "Hehehe, I don't know, I'm just a girl. Hehehe"? I find that always helps in these matters.

I've had some very angry times on absinthe. It's fun. Y'know, shouting and calling everyone cunts. It's a real vent.

Yes, that must be it!

Does Ketamine keep you warm?

I'll probably bring some tea bags.

I'll be bringing my coffee maker and some decent coffee.

yeah partly, secondly with wife and 2 young kidz its a lot to go to another country for a weekend. i himmed and hammed about it fot too long now its a bit late in the day to say, ok, im off... its ok. got my dinosaur ticket for the monday after in dublin and a few bands are playing before hand in ireland as well.

no its not ok, im pissed!

It might help you in your mild mysogyny, but it wouldn't help with my self loathing at all.

I asked by boss the take a day off, but he answered in the negative. Next time I will be just away sick.

Yes, I considered fake sickness, but since I have decided for asking for day off, I can't really do this anymore, since I only work on saturdays and it would be a bit conspicuous, if I am "sick" on that day. I'm a coward, I know. I think I'm likely to be hopping mad, if i seriously am sick on that day, though. Thanks for the sympathies ...
