Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Idlehanz]

I was hoping Porn would be coming along.

Not sold out but going fast I think. the 2,3,4 & 5 berths are gone I think. Leaves you having to find at least 5 willing friends or join the share scheme.

I'm pretty sure gathering 5 friends who even know who the Melvins are would take a lot of effort. How's the share scheme working out?

There's 14 of us going but we've been to these things every year for a while. Not sure how the sharing scheme works although I'm guessing there'll be be a disclaimer to be signed insuring ATP against acts of theft or unwanted sexual advances!

Actually, here's the quote from the site - 

'CHALET SHARE SCHEME FOR NBC



Due to the smaller chalet options selling out so fast and the huge demand from people wanting to attend this christmas, we've decided to start a 'Share A Chalet' scheme for those who want to come but can't find enough people to buy a bigger chalet.

If you wouldn't mind sharing with people you don't know in order to be able to buy a chalet, please email us at nightmarechalets@gmail.com, and we will get back to you with more information on how you can pay. We are offering PAIRS of tickets so that two of you will have your own room within a shared chalet.

This is a limited offer so we may not be able to help everyone that emails; first come first served.'

Interesting! I'm really tempted to try and worm my way into this arrangement but I'm a leeetle apprehensive since this is my first time going about this kinda thing.

Apologies if you've seen this but it made me laugh

The Men of Porn, or Porn, is a San Francisco band founded by leader Tim Moss. Moss is joined by Dale Crover (Melvins), and Billy Anderson. Richard Goodtimes, from San Francisco, is good friends with Tim Moss. Tim Moss is the leader of Porn. It should be clearly stated that Richard plays an important part in the band

Porn and 'near future' in one sentence is quite funny too.

Don't want to put the pressure on but you don't want to be sat at home while this is happening, do you? ATP are good people, not heard a bad word against them and I've been to most of the UK events.

Can you message me about it or something ? I'd appreciate it

I'm almost set! maffymaff is looking into train and bus tickets for me and we booked a hotel for the first night, as we arrive on Thursday, in Bristol.

Less than two months to go!

I still don't have a ticket but it'll come together towards the end, it always does!
