    Hey there,

    Sorry for being cheeky and not reading the whole thread...

    My accommodation in Elst. How far is that actually from Nijmegen? On the hotel's website it's said about 5km. Is there any transportation in the night to go back there or should I stick around till dawn and get a train/bus, quickly eat some breakgast and check out and hop on the other train to go to Werchter and have a power nap in the meantime?

    Those who know the place and the area, could you please let me know?

    Thanks ever so much for the info.

    Elst is 5 minutes by train. Even if you take a taxi it would be less than 20 euros I guess. It's not that far.

    Are there usually screens when a concert takes place at Goffert Park?

    Question about food and drinks.

    Based on the 10Club email it seems like we are basically stuck standing from 3:15 to whenever the show ends otherwise we lose our good spots in front of the stage. So if this is the case, are people bringing food and drinks to the concert? Does anyone know what the policy is on this?

    Can we bring:

    Sandwiches
    Beers
    Water bottles??

    Thanks!

    I guess sandwiches are okay, just like tetra-drinks. Bottles and beers will not be allowed...

    Actually now that I think about it, probably won't want to bring too much to drink if I'm gonna be stuck for 8 hours without being able to go to the bathroom!

    You can drink as much as you want but you have to dance more pogo to sweat the pee out :D
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    I´m not sure what´s worse - someone´s pee running down my leg or someone next to me pogo-ing all the time ... guess i´m just too old for any "crowd-sports" besides nodding and an occasional bounce of excitement ... :)
