The timetable and map for Monday’s Auckland Laneway festival are out and besides the usual agonising scheduling conflicts there are one or two notable changes on the site.
Thx for the update Russell - this Laneway virgin is heading north for the first time. Can't wait!

My feeling is that the changes to Cactus Cat are going to have a very positive impact. More space and a flown PA should really improve the experience.

New riders of the purple sagacity...
I do hope Look Blue Go Purple are getting at least some acknowledgement (if not cash) for the stage named after their big hit!lets hope the PA stays flown and not blown...

A do-and-don't advisory from Laneway, including after-party details for the young and energetic.

Hold music ahoy!

Snapper's Buddy may raise a few eyebrows! I note mention of Fishrider Records Is the owner, Ian Henderson, related to George Henderson of the Puddle?
Ian gives coverage to Trick Mammoth (also mentioned in ODT). Here's Delphine:

(I hope you don't mind, Russell. I feel like there's lots of people hanging about PAS who would like this!)A new generation of bands is emerging from Dunedin.
Fishrider Records' Temporary compilation, released last year, documents the resurgence of a new pop underground in the city, famous for the jingle-jangle guitar bands that formed there in the 1980s.
Presenter Anthonie Tonnon and videographer John Bollen meet some of the people involved in creating the new scene.

Brothers, Ian's the youngest. I think.

the usual agonising scheduling conflicts
Always go to see the one you haven't seen before or are least likely to have a chance of seeing again. Russell gives the example of a Race Banyon / Courtney Barnett clash.
Race Banyon is an NZer, so far more likely to play Auckland and other NZ cities again, whereas Courtney Barnett is an Aussie and given her increasing popularity, much less likely to play NZ much over the next few years.
Do it while you can.

Is the owner, Ian Henderson, related to George Henderson of the Puddle?
Megan Whelan's link above reveals all!
and seeing the presenter Anthonie Tonnon - reminds me that Jody Lloyd is in Chchch currently and has a new record coming out and a coupla gigs lined up:
Sunday, February 8
3:00pm - Christchurch - Summer Times Botanic GardensSaturday, February 14
11:55am - Lyttelton - Global Ah - World Sound Healing Day -
Giving Laneway a miss as I am still befuddled from our travels (London, Wales, Portugal, Spain, Sri Lanka, in 5 weeks).
Enjoy yourself.
But I do have a father and daughter double outing (Conor Oberst and The Felice Brothers) coming up, together with a great opening night for WOMAD 2015 (Richard Thomoson, Youssu N'Dour and Public Service Broadcasting).

Also really nice that everyone seems to have positively engaged with criticism and made a better experience of it for everyone. Would be nice if that didn't have to be noted, but credit where due.

Parental pride means unless the Thunderdome is packed, I'll choose RB over CB on Monday, But should still be able to catch the end of her set.
The other big clash for me is Little Dragon vs Belle and Sebastian...

You'll be fine in the Thunderdome if you can get in via backstage -- the problem will likely be a long queue for the front door. They manage the numbers reasonably carefully.

Five years of Laneway Fest Auckland.
Thanks for sorting out the photo pass Russ. Will be a different experience this year, and I'll try not to let the pressure get to me. :-)
I don't intend to try and cover all acts, as this gets ridiculous, so will follow my Laneway app around. In terms of planning the day, pretty cool system.
Have been to every Auckland Laneway so far, and while I'm not as familiar with the acts this year as previous, very much looking forward to Courtney Barnett, St Vincent, and the New Zealand acts like Connan Mockasin and Tiny Ruins.
Early start. Note to self: drink lots of water.
See you in the Thunderdome.
