Not that interested in seeing her really but I am concerned with the general lack of non-interesting stuff which would ideally occur at the same time as interesting things I want to see on other stages. I fear I am going to miss some good stuff because it clashes with something. What if there's a band I really like (eg NNCK) that clashes with a band I quite like and this would be a rare opportunity to see (eg NWW). I fear such things happening.

i guess just go with your gut, i mean jenn took a chance on jackie o motherfucker instead of merzbow, and she ended up hating that decision

if those two came up, i would probably take NWW over NNCK a well, but sometimes there are time differences of a half hour when bands start, for the most part I am gonna just walk back and forth most of the time to catch much as possible and stay near the back so won't have to sift thru too large of a crowd

i am just wondering, what three bands will be playing unapposed?

SY and Stooges for sure, whos the third? Gang of Four? MC5?

Sold out!

do you know how many tickets have been sold?

There won't be any dilemmas. I'm sure of that. I have faith. WHERE IS THE FAITH PEOPLE?

Incidentally, still a lack of Japs.

I heard that a Chris Corsano/Mats Gustafsson/Spencer Yeh trio will be added soon.

chris is playing but maybe with sunburned. all i know he is attending it

moshe are you going?

yes i am one of the lucky 6000 ticket holders. how about you?

yeah, i'm going. i've got that great offer by great man from this board - sonicl, who's willing to collect me in london and drive me all the way up for that great festival. unbelieveable. so we can meet, if you're up for it.

sonicl is a great man indeed and very generous too. we should have a forum party once we get there.

sonicl is THE MAN indeed!

we should.

totally jealous rich! i procrastignated too long about it now i will have to wait for the bands to do warm up gigs in dublin.......... gahhh, im useless!!!

Sold out.. sold out.. sold out..

Well done Thurston and ATP.

Can't wait.. can't wait.. can't wait..

Aw, there's gotta be some spare chalet beds around...

I know a bunch of Iggy people were gonna book themselves twin rooms or doubles because they couldn't find anyone to go with.. I'm sure there's always situations like that at ATP. Spare beds and stuff. It's just a matter of finding them and exploiting them. ;)

Bardo Pond is cool I remember seeing them open for SY in 2002.

News just in, The legendary sonic noise artists The New Blockaders have confirmed and they will be joined by none other than The Haters. The New Blockaders are making very rare appearance and they will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. Only 2 more acts to confirm and this event is 100% booked

she found someone to share a chalet with.

Yeah, I'm sure some people have booked a chalet but haven't necessarily filled it so people who haven't got tickets might be able to find people with spare beds. Not me though I'm afraid.
