BEFORE TOO LONG

Yes, we are There Yet. The Nineteenth Annual Episode of Merediths own Meredith isabout to unspool in full technicolour 4-D glory. For Those About To we look forward to

The Pleasure of Your Company.

IVE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS

Meredith goes for three days and is outdoors so you HAVE to plan ahead (likenow). A

pdf called The Pocket Companion has everything you need to know to Make Your

Meredith, including Map, Playing Times, Directions, Rules, Handy Tips and a

comparative overview of marina berths on the Eastern Seaboard.

Looking at the weather you need to bring warm and waterproof clothes and plenty of

them. That doesnt just mean a jumper that means a few jumpers, warm coat, beanie,

thermals if youve got em. Theres a chance of showers (as opposed to rain) so a good

raincoat and boots are essential as is a quality tent that dont leak. The nights will be cold,

so you will need warm bedding, extra blankets or doonas. However Saturday and Sunday

should be fine days in the main. The site will be the greenest its been for the festival for

at least ten years.

HOW TO MAKE GRAVY

Whilst Meredith might feel like a sovereign dominion (her own country) the usual laws

apply within as they do without. Likewise, the laws of the human body apply the same

there as anywhere. To that end, you need to know: no fires, no glass, no cooking, no gas

bottles, no flares or fireworks, carry photo ID, trespassers will be prosecuted, wear your

wristband at all times, no stage diving moshing or crowd surfing, bring plenty warm

clothes and sensible shoes, bring enough cash, check the tent now to make sure its in

good order, and please look after yourself and others.

FROM LITTLE THINGS

The new, massive, shady campground called Bluegums will be open, however its not yet

in ripping nick. It needs a floor. It is a plantation of bluegums, the canopy of which has

blocked light and moisture from reaching the ground, hence, no grass no groundcover.

Bit dirty love. You are very welcome to camp in there but if you plan to do so please

bring some spare tarps to peg on the ground, or old carpet or somesuch floor covering.

FROM ST KILDA TO BUSH CAMP

We highly recomend and encourage Meredithians to hire a Chartered Bus and driver to

get there and back. Or hire a small bus and designate their own driver. We have put in

sometips and protocols to make this even easier. These are also relevant to friends and

relatives dropping off and picking up. We respect the work of Victoria Police who have

booze and drug buses set up before and after the festival as they do for many events. Get

there and back safely.

Yurts are amazing things. Stood for centuries in all kinds of weather in Mongolia,

Afghanistan and Pakenham. You can hire them at Meredith they are not cheap but they

are incredible. Couple left nowgo here for details.

THE MOST WANTED MAN IN THE WORLD

Coupla things that needed to be addressed will be addressed this season. The first isa ban

on raised furniture in the amphi. This means couches that have extended legs built on or

are on raised platforms are banned from the amphitheatre. Theres also a ban loud on

annoying your neighbours with loud music in the campgrounds. Meredith has always had

a No Dickheads policy and its time to just ease that into further effect in a coupla places.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS

Tickets are in the form of wristbands this year. There is only one type of ticket aFriSatSun which gets you Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday will start a half day

earlier (gates open 8am Friday, dont come earlier as roadblocks are in place) so you Get

More Meredith in 2009. With the new campground and the speedier wristband gate

scanning system, everyone will be in and happy in good time. Live music will start

earlier than previous years at around 4pm.Please note that Crocodiles have cancelled their

Australian Tour due to family illness. The fantastic Witch Hats join the LineUp as a late

addition, playing Friday evening.

EVENTS---Artists

AKRON/FAMILY

If you arent familiar with

sensational hippy psych stompyfolksy homemade downhomewigout trippers AKRON/FAMILY ortheir masterpiece albums then Thiswould be the time to tune in, dropout etc. Previous album Love isSimple was a full-scale epic, thenewie Set Em Wild, Set Em Freekicks off a whole new riotoustechnicolour episode. (percussivethunder and anthemic electric

guitars touching on everythingfrom Fela Kuti to Sly And TheFamily Stone in under six

psychedelic minutes. Whether its the celebratory sing-along gospel ofGravelly Mountains of the Moon, the lush folk sounds of Sun Will Shine,or MBF, which lies at the intersection of primal punk rock and heavyfree jazz). Golly. You may as well go home after they play, itll belike a whole Meredith in one set. Do they do Tai Chi? Their live showsare a thing of legend, one celebrated occasion saw the band lead theaudience and 20-odd musicians from the stage in an Arkestra-like free-for-all to a riotous, shirtless and sing-a-long parade in the streets. This

is beyond unhinged, its no door at all. Jamb jam. Blow the house down.First time in Australia.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE

Aunty has neverhad as many passionaterequests for a band as she received for AnimalCollective this year. People were pleading withher to get Animal Collectivewith a religiousfervour, as though it wasnt just a really goodidea, it was something that had to happen,because it would mean time + place = aHappening. Magnificently, it is happening.AnimalCollectives evolution from weird, almost field-recording material to very danceable pop hasbeen fascinating. Their steady ascent to theheady zenith puts them in Rare Air; they are theone-per-generation band that is alreadylegendary AND totally at the height of their

powers. High priests. Not just an island but anarchipelago; Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Geologistbring their freak folk noise pop+ to MeredithSaturday evening.

BAG RAIDERS

Late at nite in theAmphitheatre things tend to tiltslowly to the left, then over-correct and spill fastthe otherway. Somewhere in the tumblethese Sydney boys will touchdown in the Super for the firsttime. Their irresistible trackShooting Stars is blowing up allover the world, theyveremixed to the remax andtheyve thoroughly earned their

rails-run as Summers hottest.Listen like thieves.

CITY OF BALLARAT MUNICIPAL BRASS BAND

The City of Ballarat Municipal Brass Bandfollows the traditional English brass bandformat, which is distinct from other types ofband combinations such as military, concert,or symphonic. To maintain the uniquedistinctive sound that only a brass band canproduce, woodwind, reed and stringedinstruments are not used. Difficult marchessuch as Scindian, The Arabian, The Cossacketc. were some of the marches the bandplayed. During the first half of the 1950s,

the band was considered to be the level of any marching band inAustralia. Huge crowds would assemble at their prestigiousperformances. 2009 might see history repeated.

PATRICK WOLF

Bringing something to Meredith that hasnt beenbrought before, we immediately warmed to

Patrick and the cult that quite rightly is buildingaround him. When news of his possible Meredithperformance leaked/got guessed , we got atorrent of email from his Australian fans hoping itwas true, such is the reverance and passion hisfans have for him. Lazy, futile attempts tocategorize Patrick the artist include terms like

androgynous/wunderkind/feathers/leather/chains/goth but far betterthat you use your own eyes and ears and dive headlong into the Sea ofWolf, if you havent already. Sonically, Patrick is grand and dramatic;lyrically he is intense and honest; conceptually he is very conceptual.Theres no one reference point, he is inimitably Patrick Wolf. Oneglance at his online numbers shows that our alphabetical-lineup-listing

belies the fact he has a srsly vast worldwide following, and no (boy)wonder.

PINK FLAMINGO BAR

The fabulous Pink Flamingo Bar will Glow Pink Allnite and servecocktails within certain hours to certain people over 18 with certainphoto ID and certain manners and clean and tidy presentation. It's

where particular people congregate.We advocate the responsible consumption of alcohol at all times atMeredith. If you are under 18, you won't be able to drink alcohol, orenter any licensed areas. Simple as that.


7/18

This year The Flamingo has a ban on gratuitous use of the word "man", a distrust of

anyone wearing rayon and bar staff have license to display outward contempt for any

signs of social sycophancy. As usual costumes with elaborate headwear or militaria are

celebrated, as is anyone arriving via motor launch or punt.

The Pink Flamingo is essentially a cocktail bar. It sells two cocktails - the Pink Flamingo

(vodka, pink grapefruit, some other stuff) and the Bloody Meredith (popular on Sunday -

vodka, tomato juice, celery, two eggs, roast chicken, two coffees and some lemon

meringue pie). The Pink Flamingo is for over 18's only.

Regular Meredithians will perhaps not be suprised to learn that The Flamingo has

changed hands yet again. It's a bit of a white elephant really! There's always some new

wood-duck ready to blow their severance pay from Telstra on a 'cool' bar. (no, but I've

had a lot of experience on the other side of them...HAHAHAHAH) Two years ago the

main bar staff formed a co-operative and bought the leasehold, and the freehold. Therewere incredible stories of the whole team banding together and working nights and

weekends to bring The Old Dame back to her former glory, stripping away years of bad

renovations, and restoring superb architectural features like the parquetry dance floor,

wrought iron circular staircase, and the marble portico. This idyllic, socialist working

environment continued for weeks until a few minor squabbles about Brenda Ferguson's

'sore' leg escalated into yelling and slammed doors and dinners going cold and then it all

turned to shit.


8/18

Last year the Flamingo was bought by Gisborne-based model train enthusiast Troy

Chaplin. At the eleventh hour a falling-out with the electricians ("yes you can have three

phase up here but there better not be anything that makes a choo choo noise buzzing past

my head saturday night") lead to the poorest decor seen in years up there. Poor Troy! Had

no idea really.

This year six former major-label record executives have grand designs on the bar. Themasterplan is to start at Meredith to 'create a buzz' then hopefully the bar will 'go viral'

then eventually they'll franchise The Pink Flamingo right around the planet with the

eventual goal to set up a boutique casino version in Macau, replete with dancing girls

(un)dressed as Flamingoes and pink champagne fountains and perhaps holograms of The

Rat Pack pretending to chat up the women at the bar. Good luck boys.

The Pink Flamingo's location is at the back of the amphitheatre, just next to the

International Food Court, on the fringe of the Top Paddock. You can see the stage easily

from the front garden of the Pink Flamingo.

Here's the history of The Pink Flamingo:

1998 first opened as The Pink Flamingo Yacht Club Bar, with hosts Commodore

Bahamas Lite and Commodore Pink Jazz.

1999 The Pink Flamingo Ski Lodge, with hosts Heidi and Klaus, included their famous

Alpine Friendliness TM.2000 The Pink Flamingo RSL, with bingo and bowls, and a Meredith Gift Honour Board.

Run by committee.

2001 The Pink Flamingo Speakeasy and Cinema. Some of the films really messed with

some of the patrons minds.

2002 The Pink Flamingo Bar. Shady, quiet and comfortable. And pink.

2003 The Pink Flamingo Bar. Provincial quail nursery and Swedish tennis fan face

painting station.


9/18

2004 The Pink Flamingo Bar and Health-giving Mud Baths. Got a bit muddy.

2005 The Pink Flamingo Bar and Grill. Sunny skies, flippin' burgers.

2006 Giant illuminated Flamingo erected at entrance. Old Flamingo decor retired.

Flamingo Workers Collective installed as new owners. A Saturday Night fever party for

the Saturday Night and a one-dayer on the telly Friday Night to bring in the punters. The

PubTab re-opened.2007 Workers Collective falls apart when after arguments about Brenda Ferguson's

sore leg. However much restoration was achieved, and the Flamingo was almost listed

asa World Heritage Site.

2008 Gisborne-based model train enthusiast Troy Chaplin completes takeover. Secret

plans to run miniature tracks around the walls cause falling-out with local tradesmen on

the eve of the festival and Troy hasn't been sighted since.

ECOPLEX CINEMA

FREAK FILM COMES TO THE BUSH - OUTLANDS ECOPLEX CINEMA

There is a Giant Outdoor Cinema at Meredith, in a magical grove of manna gums, with

the natural canopy high overhead just sparse enough for the twinkling stars to shine

through. What shows? That would be stuff that turned left at the lights, planted the foot

and ripped the rear view mirror off, and then ate it.


10/18

It's called the Outlands Ecoplex Cinema, and it sits at the edge of Bush Camping, in the

area known as "Africa". It consists of a large 6m x 6m screen purpose built between two

ancient eucalypts, a six-speaker Super-Sonorama surround audio experience (which when

coupled with Ultravision 3D effects and glasses REALLY puts you in the picture), and

the action (or inaction) is projected by vintage 16mm gear out of a 1978 Jayco

SuperTourer Caravan (with annex). IN OPTICALLY ENHANCED ULTRAVISION!!!Only ULTRAVISION with SUPER-SONORAMA provides you that "you-are-in-the-

middle-of-it-all" effect... Accept no substitutes!

The posse that run the Ecoplex say this: We swim the sewers of cinema now-and-past,

to salvage unfamiliar objects of wonder and delight. Join us at the Ecoplex as we

celebrate both new and misremembered (and damn strange of course) instruments of

celluloid enchantment... PLUS: (YES!) A WHOLE BUNCH ELSE!!!... the usual garbage

sandwich of idiot cinema that only a Mother could love... Destroyed animation, anti-

social children's television, wrong media at its very best & worst.

The Ecoplex runs basically all night, and is designed so you can drop in for a short or

long while at any time many of the films shown are indeed shorts so you don't need toset your watch for the start of a feature.

14/18

cleaning, brushing your teeth and keeping your tongue wet for licking stamps if you

decide to do all your wedding invitations whilst at the festival. There are of course plenty

of hot and cold showers and sinks and water outlets available on site, but nothing beats

the convenience of having water on tap at your camp.

* A VEHICLE OR ORGANISE YOURSELF A LIFT HOME. Taxis are at an absolute

premium out there; a small number are available but book well in advance (like weeks)and make clear plans with the driver.

* TENT MARKER - they really do all look the same. A flag for the car aerialetc

* TORCH AND CAMPLIGHT - those strap-on small headlamps are great for nights, and

a battery powered camp lantern or three for the tent and campsite with plenty of batteries

is a good idea. Some come with remote controls which are terrific for when you are

trying to find your tent in the dark. Some people bring small bike-style flashing battery-

powered LED lights on poles or car roofs to help find the tent at night.

* Good sensible SHOES for your feet.

* If the weather looks like being wet bring gumboots.

ABOUT US

FESTIVAL WELCOME

Not gonna be writing a Review of last years as that would be a little skewed, history

written by the winners etc etc. Plus theres enough of them out there and its not required.

So havent done it. But suffice to say it went Outrageously Well. (how about the noqueue to get in, huh? huh? not bad eh. Good work by our Receptionists.) Thanks for all

the positive and constructive feedback. It is What It is because of That.

Looking aheadboythis year will be the 20th Anniversary Meredith. Gots lots of ideas

for doing something appropriately celebratory but more contemplation required. Have

thought about having some Function in town but really the festival itself should be the


16/18

focus of anything Special. And Special it shall be. Happy to hear any ideas of any

kind for the 20th thoughif you got any (even half-ideas) lets hear them.

You can tell us what you thought of Meredith Number Nineteen here. Some photos here

and some others here.

cheers
