Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Andy]

Depends on your definition of nice!

It's worth walking the 5-10 mins to the town centre for real supermarkets that are cheaper and have a better selection.

[jamie_atp]

they always have a large selection of west country scrumpies and ciders in comedy flagons. which is good enough for me.

Will this destination be easy to get to from Edinburgh? We'd have to catch a train down......where would we get off??????

[jamie_atp]

It would take you a while, you'd probably have to stop off in london...driving would be quicker (though
more painful for whoever has to stay sober!)
but i know people have come to it from there before.
The nearest train station is Taunton, you can get a bus/taxi from there to butlins.
National express coaches go direct from edinburgh to butlins but i think they take about 13 hours...

This looks more like Patton told the Melvins who to pick.

Easyjet has flights from Edinburgh to Bristol for about

He probably mistook me for a guy because of my humongous biceps.

Oh, and you`ll probably have to go by cab from taunton to minehead. The bus connection is horrible! No extra festival buses at all, so theres a huge fucking line with like 3-400 people (not good at estimating) waiting for the buses, that only leave like once an hour or something. Also on the way back, make sure to order tickets first, otherwise you're fucked. They don't fill up the buses unless you have already ordered a ticket, and you have to wait at least an hour or something to get a cab. At least thats my experience from the last ATP melvins played at.

Its a kickass festival though, really nice chalets, great festival area, however the food sucks, so this time I`ll definitely be going to the supermarket in town - the one inside the festival area didn't even have fruit! only greasy stuff soaked in mayo. I dunno about the beer in there, but i remember they had something creepy called "crippled cock" in a jar... i wonder what it was!
And I wonder what the food service is - I don`t wanna pay for it just to realize its deep fried pizza or fries soaked in oil..

I hope they're gonna have movies or TV channels this time as well

How far is it from taunton to minehead? as i will probably walk if it aint to far.

Do you think the Meleivns and patton will be picking what goes on the tv as well? well as far as films go, maybe they will do that melvins talk show they have joked about for years.

About 40 km, so walking isn't really an option.

Are you also going to ATP? Sorry, haven't been paying full attention to the attendance from this board. If so, what day are you planing to go, and where are you coming from? Maybe sharing a cab belongs to the possibilities.

[Lunica]

good thinking!

[ManWithNoName]

**DOUBLE EDIT!

I don't believe that for one bit!

That would be fuckin' cool.

[jamie_atp]

hey folks.
just thought i'd post a reminder that on monday the early bird ticket offer will expire, so if you want to get
your chalets a bit cheaper now is the time to do so!

The Black Heart Procession and Torche have just been added to the Melvins side of the lineup!

[norecess]

Well, The Black Heart Procession is obviously Buzz's pick, I suspect some BB involvement in Torche's pick. Happy to see Torche added to the line up!
