I'll arrive in Clisson Saturday morning so if you guys go around the city this day we could meet there

Haha cul de merde I almost forgot this one! Great to hear you're coming Polo(Bulbe)

And Polo made a great MS flag today !



If you see it... that's me and my mates so come with us !!!

thank you Polo - thats a great flag!! I can't wait to see it flying with all of us Metal Stormers like an order of knights or something.. hahaha

(Polo was the name of a character I played in a school play when I was around 9 years old.. I was a snowman called Polo - I like that name)

About to make the pilgrimage from the North of England (Cumbria) in 6 hours. Nothing but me, a map and hope (that i might be like a pigeon and home-in on Clisson). Have about 8 cans of Red Bull. If the car gets there expect a brass band to be set-up too.

I'll look out of the MS tent. Man, I'm really excited. Will be with the boyfriend so say hi if you see me because I'm probably too shy to say hi to you XD

Mine starts at 15:00 with Dylath-Leen (on the discover stage). Don't know what it's like live, but their only album is excellent.

yeh - as soon as the festival starts I will be looking around at the bands - so I will probably see them as well

wow - there is actually going to be quite a few English people there - I'm not going to be alone! haha
I am just about to start packing.. I am SO looking forward to this!!!

if I don't come back to this thread - I will see you all there - or see you all in this thread when we are all back home! haha

EDIT: I am setting off just now!!!

Nah, it's not that. I'm just a shy person But yeah, if not I'll get Baz to introduce me to everyone! Hoping that he talks to me first on the ferry!

Also, my first band is at 14:00 - Dew-Scented so I gotta get up early for that one

See y'all there!

Ok, so, I'm back from Hellfest. That sure was a good name, for sometimes it was more some sort of hell than a real party, especially for those staying in the muddy camping...

But well, the first thing I want to say is please don't blame the organizers too much, if it hadn't rain that much I'm quite sure the complaints would have been limited. Although yes, I wish they make sure the same mistakes don't happen in the future.
For those who weren't there, I'll sum up the situation: a very instable weather that turned the camping and festival grounds into lakes of mud and an underestimated amount of people. This and the "typical" organization problems such as delays... It was not easy to deal with everything.

Nevertheless, Hellfest 2007 was great! Loads of good shows (everyone could find something they had a real interest in), a good sound, good lights and of course, a few Metalstormers I'm so glad I finally meet!
Although in fact, I met only MS staff members and I think I saw Daru when we were about to leave. Too bad our flag(s) could hardly be seen.

In the end, a good experience (and I've learnt a lot about camping!) and I sure would like it to happen again in better conditions.




Oh, and Grum Lee was GREAT!

I agree with Wrath here... the MAIN problem was the weather...

But we also had some problems with the organisation... as an example, TOO many photographs and not a good organisation in the photo pit... we had to wait something like 15 mins to take some few pictures and well... in the end I tried to take some pics the friday afternoon and totally stop to try that in the evening...

Sorry for the ones who wanted to see bands pictures... I was there to have fun too, not to wait in a queue to miss all the concerts... (BUT I will probably find a way to put some pictures on MS from a friend photograph)

Yeah, the problems... Don't want to talk about it just now.

But the shows... WOW !
So many great bands I've seen...
I suppose we'll be working to put online a good article (or three) about it all. With interviews and news, too !
AWESOME (I'm still singing)
