Shit. Was it?
I've been putting it off all week. Done it now but maybe too late, I dont think many of the oxford crew that i know have got tickets this year anyway so it wont be the same.

Just people from round Oxford in general, I guess... I doubt Z or Will Nightingale or Donal or anyone at all like that will have bought tickets, they'll probably just blag their way in and beg for wristbands. They usually do. I've heard some good stories of people falling out of trees during their attempts to get into truck... It's kinda ridiculous, really.
And I should be able to get people on the list if I ask nicely, I might just have to do it on the sly when ppl aren't looking though. Man this is starting to get a little complicated...

yeah, i spoke to Luke today, and he explained that although a) he'd forgotten the date Truck was on, b) he doesn't have a ticket, c) he has no forseeable way of obtaining a ticket, and d) he's not sure he'll actually be in the country at the time, he's apparently still planning on going.
he probably will and all...

For everyone who's applied to steward this year, you should get an email back sometime around easter, apparently.

Good effort with the evil laugh, but if you want to be truly hardcore, it's best to put it in big red letters, or something evil like that. MwhahahahhahaThat said, it still doesn't look so threatening... Maybe changing the font might work Mwhahahahhahaalthough that just looks like a polite titter, really. *sigh* I give up... |

I got the email as well w00t, although i swear the email address i got it on i didnt put in...but it was the one i used last year, maybe i was just being stupid. Not sure about the monday and fridays yet due to having no idea about working in the summer yet. Working the friday last year involved lots of heaving lifting, well i managed to get away with most of it cos i got there late but my friend who did an afternoon shift had to do lots of it. But I'm excited |

Alex should come to truck. I shall make it happen if it's the second-last thing I do.
The last thing I would do would be to swear at the pope, btw. I do want to do that at some point, cos he is just a bit of a knob, really... Not a religious thing, merely personal.

Special headliner eh? care to shed some light Christophe? Shed? some light? Why, you'd be in SEVENth heaven, but there go I WITTERing on like a RICK wakeman keyboard solo. I won't SHED any light on it, so you'd better stop GOING FOR GOLD, trying to find out. Just as an aside, my last girlfriend dumped me just before a weeken, so I decided to go and dance my blues away at a local funk club, which was being run (prohibition era style) illegally. It would actually be amazing if Shed Seven DID play, though. I wish I knew who the (c) "Secret Headliner" was, but Mogwai does seem like the best hope. That would be AMAZING! |
