its on the upcoming weekend in the states? good to know... we already had it last weekend... if I wouldn't have find out by accident, I would have been an hour early!!!!


yeah a couple of years ago our government passed some bill or something that fucked up the dates over here.

and for those who don't under stand you set your clock BACK 1 hour. it'll stay darker earlier in the morning and stay lighter later at night.

and for gato it obviously affects The Fest since you would show up to every show on Sunday an hour early. Plus Saturday night at 2am it will revert back to 1am. That's a good question about the stores and beer lol. How horrible it must be for the workers that night. if they are scheduled till 2 am i wonder how it works out lol.

Actually, wouldn't you set your clock BACK an hour? You know...that whole "Spring Forward, Fall Back" thing? So at 2am Sunday morning, you roll back your watch to 1am. Shows on Sunday would be an hour later if you didn't change your watch. You've got me all fucking confused now!

I thought it was midnight on Sunday, as in it really is early Monday morning. Get it? Like I said, these things confuse me.

And yeah, an hour BACK. "Spring Forward, Fall Back" is right.

Doesn't really matter for me, my cell phone (AKA my clock) will change to the proper time at the proper time. :wink:

Most people are too stupid to know which 12:00 to call AM or PM, so it changes at 2 AM to avoid confusion.

if you know what to call 12:01, you know what to call 12:00.

the extra hour's definitely a + though.

but isnt't it 12.00 am (=noon) and then 12.01 pm.. I think it would be much more easier to have 11.59 am and then continue with 12.00pm..
