Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[maffymaff]

I think I'm considering taking a cab this year from Bristol airport instead of having to take the train to Taunton and then finding the bus to Minehead.

I can guarantee that a taxi will cost you a small fortune. It might not be easier getting a train and then a bus, but it will be a lot cheaper.

Alright, thanks. Friends of mine once managed to take a tax bus to the Minehead from Bristol airport for 110 pounds I believe, for six persons. That sounded very convenient. I can't remember the price of the train ticket exactly. But I do know it a bit more than an hour to get to Taunton, and I actually still remember where the buses left in Taunton to Minehead.

I'd say if there isn't more than 4 of you getting a taxi it will be pretty expensive.

Booking trains work out a lot cheaper the earlier you do it. So if you get some train tickets now you might find a bargain. but as you already know, britsih public transport ain't the cheapest!

I think I'm gonna go with your advice and make use of the public transport. I remember EasyJet flights go there quite early so there will be enough time to struggle through the British public transport services and arrive in time.

I got to looking for plane tickets for shits and giggles.....best price I could find is $1018 round trip.  Safe to say I can't make it.

I think a trip to NY for a Melvins show might be a possibility though.  Much cheaper

$1018!!!! Good lord! I guess maybe if I stop eating right now I'll be able to save up enough cash. 

I just looked again, trying a different airport.  I'm assuming London is the closest city to fly into?  Heathrow?  $824......Dammit.

Try Bristol. There will be a bottle of Jacks and a pizza waiting for you if you will manage to make it. I know it doesn't change much, but I'm hoping with you a cheap ticket will pop up!

Even more expensive

It's a good thing you don't have a girlfriend down there.

wrt the transport, just try and arrive early! Minehead/the beach is nice to walk around for a couple of hours and there are many nice places to eat. Plus it gives you plenty of time to buy some real food to stop you from dying over the course of the weekend. The last two times i've been i've arrived at about midday and got straight off the train onto a bus with no queuing. Then listened to Tres Hombres for the duration of the bus journey

[Idlehanz]

Well........I know that this is going to do nothing but bring wishes of white hot pain and death reigned down upon me by most everyone....................



But I'm going. 



Maar has an extra spot in their chalet, and has kindly offered it to me, and I'm not going to pass this once in a lifetime chance up.  I've never been overseas before, and this just feels like the right time to go. 


Start your hating.

I'm going. 

Start your hating.

I applauded.

Wish I was going.

I meant that in a semi sarcastic way.  I'm not trying to brag ( well, yea, I guess I am), but I'm excited.  I mean no ill will towards others that can't make it.  I've always wanted to visit anyway.  I've been wanting to see Stonehenge for a long time, but this is more important to me.

I've always wanted to do a porn at Stonehedge & call it Bonehedge.
