^^^ I hope you got a loan for the trip!!! Nah, it was the rest of my school loan money that I'm not suppose to use but after a very bad mishap at a restuarant we ate at in NYC, I had to.  |

I'm persistant. On another note to correct some information from that article - Oxegen is not in Dublin it's in Co Kildare and why was an Irish festival included in the UK festival awards?[/It was nominated for Best European Festival though, against other (better!) festivals in Spain & Switzerland etc  |

It was actually my second favourite KOL show ever. Just behind the Point gig in December. The set was awesome!

Thanks bornagirl76 for clearing it up! I must have read it wrong.

I double-read it cos I'm always ready to go "Oi you Brits! Stop claiming our successes for your own!"  They're doing it at the BAFTAs this year... Anyway, I digress... I don't like Oxegen as a festival but I gotta say that the Kings' show last year was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was incredible - one of the best times I've seen them too. |

I like the Avalon Cas. It's nice but cheap! It's right down the street from my favourite bar that plays KOL all the time |
