This week, on Facebook, it’s doppelganger week. And yesterday, Mastodon played in the Melkweg in Amsterdam. We were there, but we could only think about this…
Tim Armstrong, the singer/guitarist from Rancid, has created an internet detective series. Svengali pays heavily respect to 70’s detectiveseries as Hawaii Five-0 and Starsky and Hutch, just like the musicvideo for Sabotage by The Beastie Boys. He will be portraying a cop and an evil scientist. The first episode aired this week on the website of Svengali. Above you can see the trailer.

So this is definitely one of the coolest things from 2011. A cruise, 5 days, 40 metal bands performing. Cheapest huts are only 666$ (+tax, but the 666 sounds pretty \m/ doesn’t it?). First bands announced are Amon Amarth, Sodom, Uli Jon Roth, Witchburner and more.
Check the awesome options and awesome trailer on http://www.70000tons.com/ and see you around in Miami!
Tilburg is the 6th biggest city of The Netherlands but it still lacks good and affordable places to stay. So we at Incubate are working on some plans to accommodate our visitors. We’ve got a few ideas, but we’re very interested in what our community thinks about temporary hotels, little sleeping sheds, hotelboats or campsites in the city. That’s why we want to ask you a few questions about sleeping arrangements.
For all the ideas we have, you can take a look at http://www.socialfestivalmodel.org/page/Incubate+Accomodation.
You can leave your comments on http://getsatisfaction.com/incubate/ or drop us an e-mail on sleep@incubate.org.
We’d like to know your opinion and ideas on the following points:
1. What do you feel are the basic needs when a festival caters a campsite/hotel. Please answer with ++, +, 0, -, — and eventually place a comment
- Good Location
- Shower
- Eat/Drink facilities
- Heated sleepingplace
- Entertainment (like live-bands on the campsite)
- Electricity
- Something else… (pls comment)
2. What are your feelings about renting little sleeping-huts for like 2 or 4 people for 1. the whole festival or 2. the festivals last weekend (Friday to Sunday)? This woul mean that you and your friends, pay one amount for the hut with festival tickets for the group included.
For examples, go to www.festihut.be or www.flexhotel.nl
3. What do you think is a fair price (per person per night without festival ticket) for a:
- Portable motel on a terrain in the city center
- Camper park @ ‘t Laar festivity site
- Farmers camp site
- Hotel boat @ Piushaven
If you have any other ideas about alternative sleeping facilities, we’re very excited to hear them!
Thanks a lot !!
