you can get a cheap flight to sydney and back if you book early enough -

Getting up there from Sydney is doable by busable/train

Take all of your own food in - no booze though, get good at smuggle tron though

there are heaps of stalls to buy food from - take a tent a lilo and get comfy - it's awesome.

and start getting your costume ready for Saturday night. best and biggest dress up party ever.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday all go nuts. Norman Jay playing DnB to close last year was pretty special.

it's awesome.

hmmm....well looking at adioso.com, flights would be around $80-100 if bought now. $600 divided by 3 is only $200 and I suppose you could expect an extra $300+ on food etc.

so incredibly tempting. if I knew what the hell I was doing when I got back I'd make the call, but as it is now, i might not even be in melbs for that long. argh!

It's with much regret that we've decided to get rid of our pgw tickets

My leg is still completely stuffed and I've no idea when I'll be able to return to work.......I'm pencilled in to go back on the 31st which is looking pretty unrealistic atm, and tbh even if I did go back I'd be way too broke to do an interstate festival anyway

2x 4 Day tickets @ $200ea

:( :( :(

First round has sold out - you'll get rid of them no worries.

bummer you can't go - maybe hit Norman @ Billboards for some fun instead?
