Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

Thanks Andre.
Don't you know, is it possible to rent a tent with a bag somewhere near? :-) I'm arriving to Dusseldorf from Russia by a plane, then I'm coming to Schöppingen by a car. Not very convenient to drag a sleeping bag all the way from Russia :-)

Anyway, thanks for a help.

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

I have a  very small tent to use for festivals etc., air matrass and sleeping bag for you if you want to use it. let me know, I come by car and can take it with me. You need more, gaslight etc?

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

Hi Strannik, welcome on the forum.
Glad that Andre answered your questions and can help you with some stuff. We tried to find our tent ... but seems that it got lost.
Will also be at the campsite and you're invited on a drink.

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

Andre, I don't like to be a burden, really, but if you could help and it's not very hard to you, it would be very appreciated.
Hmmm... No, I think I don't need a gaslight. I suppose, it's possible to eat somewhere there? I'm not very fastidious.

By the way, I'm going to Netherlands after the festival :-) Not sure about the timing, though. I need to catch up my wife first. She's not going to the fest, what a silly babe.

No burden at all. I take tent, matrass, sleeping bed, pillow etc with me. Plenty of food at the festival and they are several restaurants in Schoeppingen as well. On the campingsite they serve a great breakfast as well. If I'm well informed you have to make a reservation for the campsite. I'll have a look Can do it for you if you want. You arrive on Saturday and what time?

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

Just had a look at their website. Camping is 5 euros, you have to fill in a form for reservation: namme, emailaddress, how many persons, just a tent, car, caravan etc and if you want breakfast. You pay on arrival.

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

Yes, I saw a form for the reservation at their site. Actually, it's not a reservation, it's just an information form. So, it's not a problem, I know about it.
I'm arriving on Saturday around 2-3 pm, I think. I have a car reservation at Dusseldorf at 11 am.

One more silly question. I don't need to buy a ticket online? :-) I would be able to buy it right there?

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

No, you can buy a ticket there. I'll be there around 3 pm too. Normally I'm in the backstage area, you can ask for me at the entrance on the righthandsite next to the stage so I can get the tent etc. out of my car.

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

Thanks Andre. I'm glad to find that forum.
See you at the festival.

It's not a problem, my earplugs are always with me! :-)

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

I didn't see this topic is still alive. The forum engine stopped send me those announses three weeks ago!

Meanwhile, I can't wait for the festival!

Andre, how can i find you at the place? You wrote:

I just need to ask for Andre? They would understand me?

Re: Grolsch Blues Festival - 18-19 May 2013 - Schöppingen, Germany

I try to be there at 14.30 and at 15.00 at the entrance of the backstagearea. I'll tell the man who is  in charge for the backstage area about you. Mentioning my name Andre Wittebroek from Holland will do, if it are the same men as every year. We know each other after so many years.
You can recognise me: glasses, big muscles and very pretty...........
