i keep shaving money off mine as i get broker by the day, but as it stands i have to still pay for:


Fest pass: £30.00
bus to heathrow and back: £42.00
shuttle - orlando to gainesville round trip: £35.00 (roughly)
spending money: (more than last year, put it that way)

not too shabby..


Do you have any details on this? I have no idea about where to go etc Basically people keep telling me that if I want to get the Greyhound I should not bother if I actually want to get to Gainesville alive.


I found a shuttle service here:

http://www.rnwy.com/

$60 from Orlando Airport to Gainesville, there's like 5 runs a day which isn't too shabby. You gotta reserve your seat by the looks of it though.

This was the one i used last year, and will again. it's so cheap and pretty comfy..

(be aware that the last ones is mid-evening though. i assumed they ran late into the night, but happened to be booked on the last on of the day. when my flight was delayed i ended up paying $200 for a taxi to gainesville. this time round i've timed my flights so that im getting the shuttle at about midday, giving me plenty of chances to get another one should things be delayed again.)

i would sincerely like to thank george w bush for fucking up the US economy. sure, it's meant millions of americans are worse off, but hey... if thats the price that must be paid for me getting half-price LPs and clothes, then so be it 8)

Meanwhile, I can't mailorder a CD or t-shirt from Billy Bragg for less than $35!

Haha I will let you know as time goes on...Billy will be making an appearance in NJ October 19th so I'm hoping he brings a decent amount of merch with him that won't be too super expensive!

Hey, I just saw your post on another thread. We're going to be arriving at 5:53pm and the last one of these shuttles leaves at 7:05pm. It looks like a pretty good deal but if the flight is delayed we're fucked.

what's that, like $200 a day?

i'm thinking spending that much a day is a bit excessive, but what, a CD in the US is like $10? ...when a CD here is nearer $20-30, i'm definately gonna end up buying as much as i can so i don't leave still wanting stuff...it gets depressing when you can by a CD over the internet, from the US, and including postage it's cheaper than the UK alternative

...plus i wanna buy loads of vegan treats, i hear there's a bunch of vegan places to eat?

You snooze you lose bro.

Although you'll probably end up paying less for alternative accommodation so every cloud...
