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.
