When is too much really too much?!
For the love of god has anyone seen the prices of tickets for this years electric picnic?! Just the one type of ticket, 3 days with camping, all for the wonderfully extortionate price of €175 ... so no saving for sleeping in your car, skippin the Friday warm up or buttering up to the lovely Ms. Scully to stay at her house outside Portlaoise, though at least those options still beat sleeping in a tent. I don't do tents. I proved quite apt at putting up a tent, but sleeping in one wasn't my bag. €175, yikes, I'm telling myself I'll have to think about this more... but the little voices in my head are already whispering you know you want to go, you know you still want to go. Is this what living in Ireland is doing to me? Becoming so used to everything being ridiculously overpriced that you just get used to it, accept that that's the way things are and get on with it?! Ggrrrr. But the line up is still luring me in ... Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx, The Frames and Damien Rice to name but a few. And the crafty little beggars are just going to announce more tempting little sideshows just as I resolve that it's extortion and I should give it a miss.
