what an experience nothing adds to the fact like when you don't know what to expect. first time in europe. off plane. train to london. bus route to st pancras. train to ashford. switchover train en route to rye. board with ravers. feeling comes over that things are getting close. was a nice police trap as soon as we stepped off the train in rye (police with dogs pruning everyone walking by)...few people were pulled aside and searched. hit the grocery store for beer and foods. didnt know the fridge would be that small so certainly overbought supplies. nor did i realize there was a party store at pontins... was hell carrying luggage and supplies around. shared a cap with some nice guys from scotland and then off we go! really did not expect so many chalets (such a large campus) ... nor did i expect them to be that much of a shithole, but looking back it definitely added to the experience. got things going nicely with the kickoff amen. soundmurderer played next and whipped things up. even dropped that afx scriem track which was a nice touch and finished up with some sqr acid. sounded great in the bang room. had fun the rest of the night, no need for details. woke up the next morning out of liquid cash and set off to find an atm. party store atm did not accept atm cards without security chips (we don't haev those in the states), and neither was my credit card accepted. bit of despair set in and frantically tried to sort things out. party store across the street did cash back on debit purchases, but that worked once as after that they refused non-chipped cards. also found that nice rye cafe a few blocks away (near the beach). lovely view from the beach overlooking pontins, the wind farm, and the transmission towers leading to the fission plant on the coast. |

sat night i really didnt know anyone playing so was just getting down for the fun of it. sunday was great, though. prepped things out with some cafe and brews at the cafe, and then offf to ceephax !! started out with a dj set for an hour or so to warm things up and danced good to green calx rewind! fun fun fun! the live set was great, too. dancing and drinking and going mental to castillian and he even played vadijenk!! i have tons of great videos ill try and upload. overall, completely blown away by what is bangface. much more than i expected. defintely a 3day rave and not a music festival like i had imagined. the chalet parties were nuts. the courtyards were nuts. the chemicals were proper. the beer was off the charts. i was blown away by how proper the beer was poured even when the bar was packed. no rushing of any of the bartenders. no preservatives in those beers, either? so fresh - i didnt get a hangover all weekend !! checked out and seperated from my m8s from detroit and went off on my own to london for 3 days. big thanks to mohammed again for recommendation on that hostel; worked out lovely. snacked on fresh raspberries and strawberries from france from horrads and fueled up on stella and guinness and walked around for days. someone left tom clancy's SSN at the hostel - polished that book off in 2 days reading in the parks just soaking things in. most importantly, finally got pissed up in se-1 and enjoyed walking around and taking the trains while listening to my favorite tunes. where im from we drive and listen to music, but it's nice to put things on autopilot on the train and daydream to music. that really made my trip (it's the simple things!). |

sounds like you had an awesome weekend, nice one. definitely know what you mean about it being a 3 day rave and not a festival. guess thats why they call it "weekender" instead of festival. the line up was great but I think the grimness of the pontins surroundings detracts rather than adds to the experience for me. the hard crew love it but I think next year I'll go to a proper festival. |

morge, yeah - woken up on saturday morning and i was feeling guilty! almost like i wanted to go home early. those chalet's are absolute garbage, but looking back on it --- that shithole i slept at certainly added to the experience. the performer's chalets were definitely acceptable. tile and nice countertops! 0_0 |
