Rockness 2008

Sex, drugs, and sausage rolls!!!!!!

Almost everyone there will be absolutly minging by now, if you don't like listening to it, just be grateful your too far away to smell it :003:

I couldn't be fecked this year, kind of glad I didn't go now because I've been hearing from mates that are there that some of the prices are completely extortionate. Apparently it cost one of my mates 16 quid for two hot dogs.

Lets just hope that no ICT players have been arrested this year.

Seen him coming eh!

i hear we had a youngster died there this year,a 18 year old,the 2nd death in 2 years :019:

[SMEE]

Thats not good news...regardless of the circumstances. Heres hoping that it was natural causes

[buffy]

i text ICTMee and telt her to mind and get her knickers back once she's thrown them on to every stage!

i'm only presuming she has more than one pair......

I might have been tempted to throw my pants at Calvin Harris but I didn't want to kill him 

Im burnt to a crisp and rough as anything but what a great weekend!!!!

And yes, some of the prices were completely extortionate, wasn't too happy about that but at least the toilets had improved no end. I heard a lassie had died on one night then 2 15yr olds had died later on but campsite hearsay only. Lots of folk were getting stuff stolen out of their tents but the police caught the thief and a lot of stuff was returned. Too many fecking weegees, we should put a limit on them next year!!!!!

[SMEE]

Theivery from tents goes on at ALL such festivals. Same went on at Belladrum last yr. its a downside to camping at them. The weather was pretty good for ya, espesh sunday...at least, it was here! Hope it was a roaring sucsess and who knows.....might even go next yr if it losses a lot of the dance element to it.

[Mee]

Theres too many non dancey acts as it is, I struggled to find dance music at times.  :016: The Editors are good, I just don't want to be listening to them when the sun is burning a hole in the sky and theres dancing to be done  :003:

[SMEE]

Ah but Mee.....the name is RockNess...not RaveNess. My own personal view is....as long as it remains predominantly a dance event...i, among many others i know, will not venture to it. I know thats not gonna put the future of it on any doubt

While I share your general viewpoint Rockness is a much better name than Raveness.

Its Fat Boy Slims gig, it'll always be dance orientated, tough cheese  :003:

Just back.  I am absolutely shattered.  Don't really remember much from Saturday.  Underworld really disappointed me, thankfully though, Sunday was saved by a sooooperb set from Annie Mac in the Skins tent.  Great craic though; roll on next year!

[Mee]

Underworld had a slow start but came good in the end  :003:

Biggest disappointment was Fat Boy Slim who couldnt get a beat going for longer than a minute  :018:

I think the best set was by the Cuban Brothers or maybe Nathan Detroit - but I really enjoyed seeing Calvin Harris more than anyone  :003: :003: :003:

sad times r.i.p, seemingly tho it was a drugs overdose  :009:

[strathyjags]

sad times r.i.p, tho it was a drugs overdose so some of my sympathy is lost

[ElderBoy]

Post edited because I posted before having known the full story and was replying to a post which I thought was accurate in it's info.

The family of this poor soul have my deepest sympathy.

[Mee]

Everyone I spoke to thought he was poor, even by his own standards!

I waited in the Clash tent (at least I think it was the Clash Tent...) for about 30mins while Underworld were on.  I got fed up and wandered off.

Excuse my possible ignorance, but does he not just play records? can he not put on a record that lasts more than a minute?
