for people travelling just for the sunday and in need of accommodation, I'm staying at the local travel lodge with AMENt TO THAT and wash_ on the saturday and sunday. It's best to try and get a group of three in a room for costs and at the moment it's £51 for a three person room. It looks very Alan Partridge! which is a good thing as you never know when a trouser press might come in handy........
well i know it's four miles from reading station and reading is about 40mins i think from london. If you are going by train then gatwick is probably easiest, which would take about an hour. It's a bank holiday so best to check time tables, do you know where to look? if not I can have a scan for you.
absolutely no idea! But this is kinda important, cuz I need to get to Copenhagen the day after to meet with pinon, a friend that I am traveling Europe with. any help is appreciated!
I'll be there for the weekend, we'll have to set up a specific location to meet before the festival starts though cos you wont get any mobile reception there
Got a spare weekend ticket too... not sure what i'm doing with it yet!
Excellent! EXCELLEEEEEEEEEEENT! I appreciate this!
right AMENt, one problem, they don't show timetables more than three months away, but as a comparison I looked at times for Monday May 29th which is also a bank holiday. Gatwick is quickest and takes on average one hour 50mins in total, departing from about 9:00am, but there is one direct train that takes only one hour 15 mins. have a look at the link below. I can double check for you as of the end of this month to confirm definite times, but it looks like as long as your flight is from say 12:30 onwards you'll be ok or a bit earlier if you get the direct train.

excellent- looks like we are getting quite a crowd!
Am well up for flags and banners etc...
will set up meeting points etc nearer the time...i usually camp near Reaper's Bridge anyway.
I'll be at Reading for the full weekend...cant belive PJ are finishing the festival, its going to be intense at the barrier (where I expect us all to be, right?)
There will be three of us...all big PJ fans....
Living the dream in 2006 - Astoria, Reading & Prague
And 2007 - Wembley
With alchohol in leaf and tree it must be natures plan, for there to be to some degree...alchohol in man
I'll be there with about 6-10 others, depending on who makes it. We've been going for years and normally stay around the bar We'll be at the bar nearest to the stage on the left as you look at the stage.
If you're looking for a decent pub the 3 Men in a Boat used to do breakfasts etc, but there was a rumour it was closing down. There's another pub just over the bridge from Richfield Avenue that's nice.
I highly recommend that cafe by the island/garage on Richfield Ave too

This is the EXACT reason why I was so desperate to get reading tickets...audioslave have a day off on the sunday . Musn't get my hopes up.....am trying!
PJ head band = yes
commando = you're on your own mate!
I was listening to the radio but the shite music was slowly inducing a coma so I am listening to grunge fm which is awakening my senses .
PJ aren't on tonight, but will be on wednesday. That's what the folks over on the radio 1 forum say anyway.
no, no i meant commando as in rambo or the like,.... you know headbands walkie talkies.... i'll defo be wearing briefs, maybe even a nappy just in case the excitment proves too much ....
my parents are coming with me this year. they want to see pearl jam.
