Even though I'm not going, I can't wait to see the result of this 'project'.
Sounds like it's going to be great! Good luck with it

LilyC · 17-06-2011, 01:05 AM

Those ideas sound really great!

I like it

SueDeNimes · 20-06-2011, 08:25 PM

Hey everyone!
I'm so busy... so much has to be done before I leave in 10 days!!

Anyways, I found the perfect tablecloth: 2,7m x 1,3m!

So it's this aspect ratio:

Gives us plenty of room to create something... at the same time it's like a commitment / obligation to be front row... we can't hold this up from further away - nobody behind us would like it.

Soo, here we are talking about my main concern again:
Doors open at noon, the boys play at 11.30pm!

= Red Bull + Diapers?

86Timewarp · 20-06-2011, 08:26 PM

funny...this is on my birthday...but it's not in NJ but the other one is... AHHHHHHHH

Good question

I'm sure we can do that somehow,I just can't see at the moment how we'll manage not to go the loo and stuff. We'll have to come up with a good plan.

Tash · 20-06-2011, 08:58 PM

Same concern here

Mimixxx · 21-06-2011, 12:30 PM

That's great Anna

It'll be bloody hard going! There's no denying that, but it's just one day and it'll be worth it.

There will be a huge group of us and in between the earlier bands the crowd behind us will disperse, so we can sit and if we go to the toilets in 1s and 2s there'll be enough of us left to hold places at the barrier.

Then if we make say PJ Harvey as the loo cut off point, which is when people will start staying put and refusing to move, then we're only looking at the same period of time without moving as at Wembley. Remember we got in there at 4pm and didn't move until after they came off stage and we did that two nights in a row (AND endured Girls Aloud whilst doing it!!

)

Tash · 21-06-2011, 12:34 PM

^ That sounds doable

Cool,sounds like a plan

WE CAN DO THIS *trying to convince my mind*

(fyi that's a determined face,not an angry one

)

Mimixxx · 21-06-2011, 04:20 PM

We can do it! Anyone who has ever queued with me knows my front row determination

Ok,Mich,you will come with me if I have to go somewhere as my bodyguard to get back into front row

WE CAN DO IT, WE WILL DO IT

Mich, you're the best!

I'm totally with you - it'll be so worth it. As long as we stick together, take care of each other and keep up spirits up then we'll have the best time

Plus once the other bands start then we'll have something else to think about than peeing and drinking and stuff

SueDeNimes · 21-06-2011, 05:18 PM

Back to the banner for a bit...
How fast does spray paint dry on linen?
And will it become stiff or stay flexible?

Should we try to come up with a draft of what it could look like beforehand or just see what it'll become on the day?

Haha yes!

And I'm afraid I'll have used all my energy for Portishead and Elbow before CP come on... Beware of a singing name twin during those two!

Mimixxx · 21-06-2011, 08:12 PM

I think we let our creativity shine on the day, we should sketch the words on in marker before start spray painting though, as theyre the most important part
