Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

Have just arrived home from pub. Met Emsk and the Russian and Kev-lol and the Vicar and Rener and YMOF and Weasel Diesel. Delivered cake to Kev-lol, received DVD of Master and Commander in return. All is right with the world.

Did the Vicar respond to any questions with "No! Fuck you!"?

Um, yes. Yes he did.

Dear Ms Monkey,

On behalf of myself and SO, with whom I plan on eating cake later, many thanks for lovely cake!

Yours in OM NOM NOM NOM

Kv

PS. I am very onimoed. We didn't leave until closing. I am a broken man!

I just feel a bit sick. We've had ridiculously rich food two days in a row, including desserts and so forth, and I'm just not used to it anymore. Bleuuch.

I hear you. It's such a strain on the digestive system. I used to work for a guy who went to L'Ecrivain at least twice a week, sometimes 3 or 4. He was the most horrific shade of puce!

How is xbox? Did you both see sun up?

No, I went to bed straight away. Mister M stayed up a little bit, but I am going into town tomorrow to go to the theatre and have had to find a date to go with me, because he's going to stay at home and commune with Gears of War or whatever it's called.

Sorry accentmonkey I feel for you but I totally see where he is coming from:

Theatre = teh_lame, Gears of War = OMG SCARY ALIENS ROFL WTF ;_;

What time do you hear about the apartment, kv? I still have my legs crossed for you (oh-er missus, etc.)

If it's that bad, you can go for a wee GB!

I'll be calling at 12:00. Hopefully he'll call me with good news first *touches wood* (oh-er missus, etc.)

bunch of decadent dublin sots.

Jealousy is so hick.

beween hick jealousy and spurs-fan sense of entitlement my online persona is really hoovering up the brownie points lately.

ok, i'm not gonna post to ilx again today, yesterday's workload is now over my left shoulder height-wise on my desk. gluck again with residency kev.

Thanks darragh. Thank goodness for hangover, decently distracting!

How does a household consisting of two grown people manage to completely run out of shampoo? We haven't even got any of those Aveda testers lying around. Jesus.

Oh! Thank you monkey, this reminds me I need to get conditioner at lunchtime! PHEW! I have been stealing the flatmates (it works quite well - v surprising). If I lived by myself I'd be in a terrible state.

Perhaps you should try one of those homemade shampoos, ie crack an egg over yr bonce.

Wash yr hair in BEER! (waste of good beer, tbh, but it apparently works)

First ATP announced, no bands I really fancy yet, BACK AT FUCKING CAMBER.

You're kidding? Why?

Also, where is announcement?

Link plz? Nothing on the ATP website.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS EVENT

CURATED BY ATP Vs PITCHFORK

CONFIRMED LINE-UP INCLUDES Sebadoh, Ween, Man Man, Dirty Projectors,
Glass Candy, Pissed Jeans, Fuck Buttons, Apse, Caribou, Los Campesinos
and of montreal.

Bloody hell that's expensive! I wouldn't mind seeing Caribou though. Fuck Buttons? Deeeeadly!

So to recap, it's more expensive than Minehead, smaller and shitter. GOOD WORK FOUNDATION.

That's not doing much for me so far, tbh.

(xpost, and further away from your house, eh?)

One weekend only? It's doing nothing for me either.

THERE IS A GEOGRAPHIC PROBLEM, YES.

The other weekend is in May as well, so I'm guessing 16-18. At least snow will be only a remote possibility.

Snow and Dungeness is good, though.

Also being nearer your chalet if you need to go back and get pished food.

That's true, the chalets are closer (and handier for seeing Philip Roebuck play outside the Queen Vic from your kitchen).

Apols for hijacking No Pants with ATP talk btw, but I think most people who go post here.

No worries.

FUCKING CNUTING ESTATE AGENT SCUMBAG CHOAD SWALLOWING SHITE FER BRAINS BABY FISTER

Still no real news from him.

I liked their last album.

baby fister is possibly a leetle strong, I am going to be a godfather at the weekend after all.

Oh? Nice. Congrats.

and, cos i can't resisit the plug:

Fuck Buttons are aces. But they are not quite 150 quid's worth of aces on their own, no. With Pissed Jeans too? Maybe, but, oh, I can never go to ATP. Come and play Oxford while you're over, Pissed Jeans!

(Sweariest thing I have yet posted from work! don't get me in trouble, you crazy music types)

Okay it (boy/girl?) is ridiculously cute!!!

haha, that kid's got excellent hair

we used to call her 'it' too, but then found out she was actually called grace.

Lovely name. Also OTM re. hair Ailsa.

i'll pass it on. we're thinking about getting her tartan installations.

So, wait, if the Pants-free gang are thinking of skipping ATP, how will I get my hands on Aldo's sausages?

(Seriously, I know you're all bored with it, but it never gets old for me.)

There will be a 2nd week of ATP, probably the following week. We are keenly awaiting news of curators before taking the plunge.

Are we to assume return to Camber means they're struggling to sell out Minehead?

Didn't say not going, just not massively tempted by P4k weekend. Apparently announcement embargoed till 3. (xpost)

They sold out the Portishead one, so I don't see why they couldn't again. I suspect it's Hogan still wanting to say SOLD OUT despite being unsure he's got a decent enough line-up.

I've been to one Minehead ATP and one Camber Sands. I thought Cambers Sands was way better. More atmosphere or something.

T/S:
Minhead has much better chalets - better condition and the notion of actually having rooms for everyone is better.
Minehead has free electric.
Minehead doesn't charge you for broken toilet seats.
Minehead has little women who come in when you are onimoed and do your dishes for you.
Minehead has big TVs for SingStar.
Minehead has a few possibilities for sunday lunch without having to drive.
Minehead has el cheapo cider farm on the way.
Camber has a fried chicken place, but it is shite.
It's much easier to carry drinks round in Camber, and the layout works better.
Camber has Dungeness, if you can be arsed going.
Camber has a better beach for rolypolys, even if there is piles of tarry shite on it.
The chalets in Camber are closer to the venues.
I only got chatted up the once in Minehead.

Tight call.

omg i haven't been here in while

good morning and good tidings to all

howdy

Likewise. (xpost)
