you know how we've been banging on about how it's dead easy to remember that Poptimism is the first Friday of the month, well, you see, the thing is, they are doing some building work at the Union Tavern (hopefully putting soundproofing in), so we've had to move this month's to the SECOND FRIDAY in May, ie 11th, that is, the day before eurovision, to put it another way, three days before my birthday.

no news yet as to the volume level we'll be able to operate at, but heck, what's the worst that can happen? you sit around with lovely ppl talking nonsense all night...

if there was only some way of tying a club night in a pub to an impending musical extravaganza...

― Alan, Thursday, 26 April 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

Oh good,, I fancy a Poptimism. I always forget when they're coming up anyway - so the date change is nothing to me (oh Vienna!)

― Anna, Thursday, 26 April 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

i think the only sensible way forward is for you and emma to dress as BARDOT, alan.

― CarsmileSteve, Friday, 27 April 2007 08:41 (nineteen years ago)

You could have turned around and hit me and I wouldn't have cared.

and you know there's just not enough threats of (domestic) physical violence in our pop these days.

― Alan, Friday, 27 April 2007 08:58 (nineteen years ago)

OH MAN Eurovision dress code URGENT AND KEY!

Who shall I be!!

― Sarah, Friday, 27 April 2007 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

Jemini - no
Gina G - too sequiny
Love City Groove - were they baggy??
Bucks fizz - involves complicated skirt procedures
LORDI - not enough time to make masks
Romanian drumming granny - DEAL!

― Sarah, Friday, 27 April 2007 09:27 (nineteen years ago)

I am coming as ~~Xena Warrior Princess~~ Wild Dance Ruslana.

Or maybe Michael Balls.

― Alan, Friday, 27 April 2007 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

― CarsmileSteve, Friday, 27 April 2007 10:45 (nineteen years ago)

― lex pretend, Friday, 27 April 2007 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

carsmile i hope that doesn't mean you will be carrying or indeed wearing 'a little piece'.

― blueski, Friday, 27 April 2007 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

DJ Daz would be easy.

― blueski, Friday, 27 April 2007 10:50 (nineteen years ago)

Have any Eurovision winners had a beard? OH WAIT.

― Groke, Friday, 27 April 2007 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

What happens if they can't do the building work because the guy next door complains about the noise?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 27 April 2007 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

They have already had that issue!

― Pete, Friday, 27 April 2007 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

*vision of ILxors with IPods securely clamped on all waving their arms around to the silent strains of their fave Bodines cuts*

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 27 April 2007 11:03 (nineteen years ago)

i can corroborate pete's story. apparently they're not allowed to work after 2pm...

― CarsmileSteve, Friday, 27 April 2007 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know about you but I can't get a Rack Of Baby Back Ribs on my iPod!

― Pete, Friday, 27 April 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

Hello, I am bumping this so that sarah sees it and remembers to bring her nintnedo DS along so we can sit in the corner like tragic nerdies and trade pokemon, yay.

― JimD, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

she'll be too busy playing horace goes skiing, MARK MY WORDS.

― CarsmileSteve, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

Happy birthday in advance, Carsmile!

If I come, I will come as Devil Woman-era Cliff.

But I'm not coming.

― PJ Miller, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

bah. i'm going to be truly euro this weekend and be in bratislava. not that slovakia are in it. innit.

― ken c, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

sorry dudes, we've had to cancel :(

from Pete:

Tomorrow night is cancelled at the Union Tavern. Basically they have been granted a permanent late licence, but with that came a whole raft of health & safety adjustments and soundproofing (above and beyond what they were putting in). So they are doing that now, but it won’t be finished for another week or so. Then it has to be signed off by the council. Therefore tomorrow is a no can do.

sorry for the late notice.

― CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:47 (nineteen years ago)

Can a mod change the title?

― Groke, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

at least that means future poptimism can be PROPER ROCKING!

― ken c, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:50 (nineteen years ago)

It's worth pointing out there will now be a CONSOLATION FAP at the Pakenham Arms instead, from after-work til whenever. It's open to 1, it's the pub we go to afterwards anyway etc etc.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 May 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

:((((((((

― JimD, Thursday, 10 May 2007 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry guys, I have been owrking hard with Nick the venue manager to get this late licence and we really thought we'd make this week. The licence came back positive but with remedial works required - which seemed to take precedence. It also means the council is on our side not moany neighbour.

Sorry guys, but not much i can do to put foot down, as we don't pay to use it as it is. Se eyou in the Pakenham.

― Pete, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

I think everyone should come to the Pakenham anyway. Especially Jim and other people I haven't seen for a while and especially people who are moving to America soon.

But yes this means all other Poptimisms will be LOUDER and LATER and HARDER and FASTER, right? Okay maybe not the last two.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

Does this mean less POP and more LOUD HEAVY ROCK METAL?

The rockists really are winning...

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

No, it means the Hi Energy Beats can have more energy. Everyone know Pop is louder than Rock.

― Pete, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

When is June Poptimism likely to be please?

― ailsa, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

June 1st yes?

― Sarah, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

i thought it said there was going to be a juan atkins section for a minute

― 696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Bah. Oh well, as you were. xpost

― ailsa, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

Bump. Anyway, pub tonight anyone?

― Matt DC, Friday, 11 May 2007 08:42 (nineteen years ago)

maybe.

― G00blar, Friday, 11 May 2007 08:47 (nineteen years ago)

probably!

― JimD, Friday, 11 May 2007 08:54 (nineteen years ago)

Probably June 1st. But it depends on the all clear from the council.

― Pete, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

Might do pub tonight if I get back from Belgium before 1am.

― Ed, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

consolation FAP = gold

― braveclub, Saturday, 12 May 2007 01:47 (nineteen years ago)

bah

― 696, Saturday, 12 May 2007 06:25 (nineteen years ago)

The consolation FAP was huge at one point but people drifted off reasonably early. There was good dancing action after though.
