or
both. I like the idea of a pool party.
Sonar Party!

Hostel
Dan, I've booked the home hostel place.
I like this review of the hostel.
"our visit was spoiled by noise from other visitors. The party crowd were noisy till they went out at 12.00, and then returned noisily at all hours. This hostel is promoted as a quieter restful place. The location suits this, but the promise is not fulfilled due to inability to control a small minority. Also washing and kitchen facilities were not properly maintained. We stayed before at this hostel when noise was again a problem, in fact we hardly slept. Next time we will look for alternative."
Oh no noisy people till the ungodly hour of midnight!!!
Miserable
busy bodies. The ironic thing is that all they have done is make the hostel sound quite civilised and fun to other people who actually enjoy socialising. Their complaint makes the hostel sound human!
Funny
I think its funny that they stayed once and hated it so much that they returned just to make sure. Ha ha.
Accreditation
I am a professional you know.
BPitch Records Showcase
There is a BPitch Records showcase in Barcelona on the Saturday night with Ellen Allien....cor....I might go to that instead...but then again Roisin Murphy???
Plane Tickets
I have a plane ticket.....now I am truly skint till.......sometime next decade.
Sónar
Dan come to Sónar...
if
I can find a flight thats cheaper than yours then i am definately going!
Going Up!
Flights are going up up up up.......
....I looked already more expensive to fly to Girona and Reus from Brum. &72 return with taxes on Easy Jet from London Luton, arrives about the same time, gets in to London on return at a more sensible time......
....there you go cheaper flight, you have to come now.
:)
Buses
I've just found a company that will sell me a Sonar ticket for £175 which includes free transport to and from the festival site...
Duh! The professional tickets only cost £125 and there is free transport put on by BCN anyway....
No Go
I expect I'll be on manuvers with Mr Duck, perhaps on the beach, instead.
Manoeuvres, With Mr Duck?
I've never heard it called that before!
ok
I know Madness and I now recognise Goldfrapp but also now I know I don't like them.
Considering the size of that list, I know two of them and dislike one of those.
Old Fart
I think that says more about you than it does about the Sonar International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art. Tut!
.
Old Fart?
It would imagine that it is because I am an old fart that I remember Madness.
Daddy Daddy Cool
No it's because you haven't heard of any of the others! ;)
Richie Hawtin
Is playing on the Friday, where's my credit card?
Why would you go and see the Zutons.....
......when you could go and see this.
?
I've heard of the Zutons and not any of those?
Yes You Have!
Go back and read it again!
Oh yes....
I have heard of Goldfrapp but I don't have a clue who they are.
Erm.....thats about it.
Madness
Your not telling me you haven't heard of this lot:
And this is Goldfrapp:
