4:30 - 5:30 NATHAN FAKE
5:30 - 7:00 HENRIK SCHWARZ

jealous... thatwill be a great back2back.

yeah... nathan fake - wtf? yacht into sweeney... rad.

i dunno if it should be a wtf anok... i think his style of electronica would do alright at MMF.

no i just had no idea he was playing.

ahh... 'kay. :)

Schwarz and Fake are both doing two separate shows the night before in Melbs too

Pretty happy with Saturday (although would probably put AC on in ECSR's slot and vice versa) and Sunday (although shame that Dacios on in the graveyard shift).

Friday night's programming looks a very mixed bag - will be a train wreck or a stroke of genius.

Thumbs up for Nathan Fake.

nathan fake was a late addition according to the site, so its been sprung on us all.

not a bad thing.

Friday afternoon will be good to get the campsite ready. Yacht at 1:30 might be a stretch.

Saturday afternoon nice and chilled.

Great work form 7:30 to 1:00 on Saturday!

Good to see combo la revelacion isn't interrupting any great evening set for a change.

Disappointed I won't be seeing The Fauves. No big loss though, I've seen thema billion times already.

one year, i want this job: INTERSTITIAL SOUNDTRACK

Witch Hats are now playing at this.
Geeze-uz....
Really happy about it, but you've all had near on a year to plan this shit.
I got's less then 4 days.

Will be nice to see my american John friends again.

Awesome!!

I was wondering what it had taken to get you to come, Phil.

Playing a show would cover it.

Nah, only just found that out Modi.
It's due to Crocks not doing it.
I was going to poach a freebee off Oh Sees.

Fair enough. Good score, though.

Is there a thing that tells me whats on where?
Sorry, never been.

Only one stage JP, see the site map

Band camping is behind the backstage area

Tells you playing times, has a map of the site and some other good info.

Made by a friend a few years ago, still relevant:

Hey Guys,

Meredith have revised their line-up. I think you are going to be mighty impressed:

Friday 11th

2-2.45 - Arrive, and attempt to set up a magnificent MMF enclosure, fail miserably and start drinking.
2.45-5 - Continue drinking, rolling joints and welcoming in the new festival.
5-5.30 - Feeling hungry? Steak sandwhich time! Better check out the main stage since you're down there.
5.30-7 - As per 2.45-5.
7-8 - Drop acid. Wait for the affects with nervous anticipation.
8- 10 WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
10-12 Regain some semblance of reality (only comparatively though) and watch music. However, this in mainly just staring at the stage, hullicinating at all the wierd people playing instruments.
12-2 Continue drinking and smoking. Starting to get loose?
2-3 Totally ratfaced, off your guts and seeing technicolour, rock out to Crystal Castles, dancing like a munted chipmunk.
3-4 Make way home to bed via the esky.
4-9 Deep black nothingness.

Saturday 12th
9-9.30 Lie in bed groaning, wondering what happened last night. But hey, the music was great wasn't it? Was it? Probably.
9.30-9.40 Shimmy out of your tent in a half soldier body crawl, half fish out of water to the nearest bottle of water to cure your parched mouth. Only to discover that massive swig of clear liquid is Vodka.
9.40-10.30 Brush teeth, regain composure from the near death experience of drinking the vodka.
10.30-11 Poo
11-11.30 Steak sandwhich fuel cells are getting low. Time to replenish.
11.30-12 Wander around the stage in a haze, running into people who saw you totally rangered last night. Don't bother speaking, no one will understand you anyway.
12-1 You give up trying to hold off drinking. It's so difficult deciding between gin and tonic or vodka redbull, that you just drink both.
1-2 Spliff time!
2-4 Feeling aenesthitised from your hangover, you begin to find the good Meredith spirit at the main stage. Rocking out.
4-6 Meet everyone at the Pink Flamingo. It's party time.
6.15-6.30 - Steak sandwhich time. Not because you want one, but because if you don't eat now you are in danger of vomiting blood later on in the night.
6.30 - 7.30 - Quick regeneration back at camp. Your anticipation finally breaks you so you have a nibble on your googs!
7.30-9.30 - Party at the main stage. Feeling awesome?
9.30-10.30 - Find everyone at Pink Flamingo, who are all just as high as you. Go nuts on double pink flamingos.
10.30-2-3 - Rock out to some kick ass rock and roll music. Go crazy, roll around in the dirt. The night is yours.
3-6 - Cut up the meredith d'floor for three hours. The whole time with a beer in each hand and a doobie in your mouth.
6-7 - Continue dancing, but now that the sun is coming up you realise that the people around you don't look so happy any more, they jsut look twisted.
7-9 - You have no idea what happened in this time, how you got back to your tent. What happened to the 6 pills you had. Nothing.

Sunday 13th
9-10 - FFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKK!
10-11 - See above.
11-12 - Pull yourself together just enough to have a shit and get some food.
12-1 - Like a cursed man, beer tastes like dust across your lips.
1-2 - Eat valium.
2-3 - After deciding that you are mentally and physically unable to continue communicating with people you pack the fuck up and get the fuck out of there.
3-6 - Home via KFC.
6-7 - Take the greatest shower you've every had in your life.
7-8 - Eat something other than a steak sandwhich and go to bed for the greatest sleep you've ever had in your life.
8-3PM - ZZZZ

Monday 14th
You are a shell of a man, hollow, cold and scared inside. But fuck you had an awesome weekend!

Tuesday 15th-Friday 18th
Work is hell. You survive on the knowledge that it was all worth it and it is nearly Christmas.

Friday 18th December - Friday 10th December
Talk about how awesome the last Meredith was and wait in eager anticipation for it to happen all over again.

haha, dear me. That is frightfully true.

Now I'm getting nervous about the weekend. Nervous, and pumped.

hooray. Work still don;t know I'm wagging tomorrow. But I have to run a meeting all day on Monday -- should be fun
