TAF - 16 Days and Counting

CD's have been ordered, attendance is all but finalised and TAF10 is almost upon us.

Just to give you an idea of the popularity...... 23 people have confirmed their attendance whether it be off and on, 1 day or the full 2 day camping experience. This has made music selection an absolute no-brainer so thanks very much for all of your quick replies.

Once I actually dug into the artists playing I found that not all of them have recent CD releases. With that in mind, bands like Fear Factory and Groove Armada dropped off the purchase list to make way for lesser known acts which also keeps us more on par with alternative fesitval playlists.

The festival music itinerary has been completed so click here for the official lineup.

I have just spoken with Ah' Yeah brewing and there will be 2 beers on tap at TAF this year:
Mexican Cerveza (Sol, Corona) - Mexico is known for its arid lands, dusty conditions and oppressive heat. So it’s not surprising that the people of Mexico are experts at quenching a thirst. Coopers Mexican Cerveza emulates the style of the finest quality beers exported from Mexico. This premium beer is light in style with a fresh clean taste, ideally served ice-cold with a wedge of lime or lemon.
Australian Pale Ale (Coopers Pale Ale) - Our master brewers have developed a beer concentrate in the style of the famous COOPERS ORIGINAL PALE ALE which is considered an Australian icon. The finest 2-row barley, hops and specially selected yeast combine to produce a beer with fruity and floral characters, balanced with a crisp bitterness and compelling flavour perfect for every occasion.
Ginger Beer - For all those intending on driving home or taking a breather off the booze during the festival - freshly brewed non-alcoholic Coopers Ginger Beer will also be available on tap.

All of the above will be on tap, icy cold and available via self service for the duration of the festival. $20 will buy you a bottomless glass of all 3 so if you'd like to have 2-3 beers plus, then leave the hassles at home and let a lobster do the talking.

As per the previous TAF posting, everything except loo paper and BBQ gas is BYO. There will be 2-3 cooking stations on the go so we're fully flexible for all day food or longer cooking times. We want to encourage crazy and unorthodox foods with oddball cooking techniques so get your practice in now to show off your mad-skillz.

As far as the $25 CD payment goes, I'll send an email around with my bank details in the next few days. That's all the updates I can think of for now. If you have any queries at all, get in contact asap.

Incase you need them, here is a link to the older TAF posting and here is a link to the festival map.
