ABA SHANTI I & CHANNEL ONE - BRISTOL 01/12/07

 

Come on give us the rundown! Buggar them SHIRLOCK just give us the ins and outs!!

well big up megabus cos without them I wouldn't have made it to the session and I probably wouldn't have a cold right now

tried to get the national express coach at 21:00 and all the coaches were booked until 23:30. Turns out that mega bus was cheaper

 

Megabus dropped us off in some back street in bristol and those suntrap lessions from primary school turned out to be useful after all as the google map was pulled out and we worked out were we were and them made our way to where we thought the dance was

 

Could have been there in 10 minutes but some bug in google (verified when I got home) meant that the initial location given was correct but when you ask google for directions from the bus station, the destination changed to some other location (wade st)

 

Managed to call someone just before they entered the dance and got the name of the correct road. The queue was building up by time we got there and I was silently cursing google because if it weren't for the diversion, we could have been inside in 5 minutes instead of 30 - 45 minutes

 

Only £6 to get in, nice vibes from the security staff and a free wrist band as well and no queing to get back inside if you go outside to smoke - SE One - take note

 

Music wise, I'm terrible at remembering artist and tune names but I heard some good tunes from all three sounds.  I heard a tune that papa roots played and suddenly realised that I was with Ras Muffet when he started building the tract - Man works fast and tunes travel all over the country

 

Acoustics in the place was a bit strange. Over by where CH1 had their set, the sound from all three sounds was a bit distant. everywhere else was OK

 

As much as I had a good time, I wouldn't like to go there again though if it's raining as there were a few wet spots and water leaking from the womens toilet and getting a bit to close to CH1 and papa roots sets for my liking

 

I've promised myself I won't say anything about VIP lounges this time....
