What do you guys think about Hellfest?

 

[Koldawne]

Yeah.. me too

And walking at -25 celcius (-38 wind chill), not cool

I feel your pain. It's like that here also. I wore my parka and snow pants today. I had just my eyes peeking out between my hood and my scarf. Takes forever to get properly dressed when it's so cold outside.

Camping seems to be crappy. And there are 2 or 3 main stages, so overlap is normal.
Festival itself seems to be great?

There seems to be lots of great bands.

True. I've played with the thought of going, but checking the SNCF site realised me not to go. (SNCF = French Railways)
Not only is the connection shit, I have to change in Paris (from "Gare du Nord" to "Montparnasse") which implies a metro ride, it's about 80€/single trip MINIMUM!!! Which is for me too expensive. I pay that much to go to Wacken from Liège and back!

 

[Quark]

O ja, happy new year!

Wow :O

Wow :O

Shouldn't stop you from going, if you want to!
I might consider it next year, but it's mostly a week before Graspop (B) / Hörnerfest (D), and I don't like 2 festivals after each other.

You guys are so lucky to have options for metal festivals! There's a handful here but none really have camping. We are planning to go to the min one here (Montabello) where you can camp but even then they had way too many people last year and were so horribly unprepared. The toilets flooded and the whole ground was covered with shit.. I don't want to go it that will happen again. Thankfully we are close enough to home to leave if it does.

But you're more used to big travels, like say, 4hrs to just GO somewhere, whereas we prefer a bit "smaller" travel times, and rather spend the night there.
It's all a question of mentality!

(and of organisation of course, but that's something I can't tell, as I have never been to a US/Canadian festival)

 

[Alix]

Yep. Those things.... the trouble for all foreigners!

(but the weak/mixed and strong declensions make perfect sense to me )

I don't think I've heard those terms before, but surely it will make perfect sense soon

 

[Alix]

You might not have known its terms, but that's what it means here.
In German you also have weak and strong noums(?). But I'd have to look that up, before I do any explanations about it. I know that e.g. "Junge" is a strong noun(?)
Der Junge, des Jungen, dem Jungen, den Jungen.

Ow my brain

On the contrary

It's forecast to hit 41 in Brisbane tomorrow. Now THAT'S not cool
