Hard News: Friday Music: Backwards and Forwards, in reply to Russell Brown,
Yep just Chow Town. Great food, great value too. Why would you get a dirty battered sausage when you could have amazing pork buns, ribs, tacos, cheesecake etc for the same price? I hope Chow Town becomes a permanent BDO fixture. Some local NZ craft beer would be nice too, though I imagine that is a sponsorship money type of issue.
RE: Tokens - I just didn't get why individual vendors couldn't use eftpos or that paywave magical thing. I love paywave

And while I'm at it, what's the deal with tokens for food?
-
(There was also a queue to withdraw cash via Eft-Pos, but I feel nothing for those people, because they are frankly stupid. Festival 101, people.)
In 2014? Surely eftpos or even tap'n'go is the standard these days. Is it a bandwidth issue?

Capture: BDO - Post Hoc, in reply to Russell Brown,
Good thinking. Still, how amazing would it be if they could open up the lakeside? It'd be almost as good as Splore

I was a little disappointed that they'd fenced off the lake. From looking at the BDO map beforehand, I'd hoped that we could sit by the water and listen to the music. I guess they'd have to install security in the water to catch punters swimming into the BDO without paying.

Hard News: Mandela, in reply to Matthew Hooton,
Great post Matthew. Thanks.

So this time, there will be a compulsory pre-purchase $50 pass per car, with the $50 refunded on arrival if the car contains three or more people.
Gah. I didn't see any mention of this when I bought tickets in April.

Surely a shout out to Sheep Dog & Wolf is in order, after their Critic’s Choice prize this week. It’s a brilliant album. You can listen to it in full on Bandcamp:
