I might pop in there tomorrow, want me to pick you one up?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

what's hobgobblin?

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, I see it. I'm actually not far from there. Could go myself today.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

hobgoblin

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

Oooh, please pick me up a tambourine, Ed! I would actually like one. (Though does it have a drum skin on it, or just jingle-jangles.)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

In fact, I've bought strings+picks from there; had forgotten the name.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

Which would you like? (look at the site pick one)

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

They have lots! All cheap!

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

6" is too small, though - I want at least the 8" Tambourine.

Oh, and jingle sticks! I love jingle sticks... and a cabeza... man, we need a percussionist.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

8 or 10?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

Does anyone have an old altoids or tobacco tin they could let me have?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

I think 10" might be too big, but then again, the drum skin might have a better tone. Big enough to have a good hit on the skin, small enough to be stuck in the back of an amp or a gig bag!

Ohmigod, that's a shop now I remember why I stay out of it.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

Oh noes, we're talking about music making again, how terrible! Non musicians will be alienated!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Ed, I have something like that.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

today naked canadians want to be my friend.

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

Oh dear lord, naked canadians with 20,000 friends. I just wonder if it actually does any good at all, randomly adding that many people. Or maybe they're big in Canada, and I don't know.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 13:51 (nineteen years ago)

Um

(What on earth is a Hawkwind passport, and how do I get one?)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

I have printed the form.

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

We have been joking... OK, this is going to be convoluted. We have these money laundering protocols in place which mean that people cannot buy houses or pay our fees in cash. Someone paid in £5000 in cash the other day, and we were trying to authenticate where the cash came from to process it or reject it. Turns out, it was withdrawn from this bank in Streatham that I happen to know has been the focus of some pretty dodgy dealings in recent years. (Skimming off the ATM as a scam run by some bank employees! that kind of stuff.) So we were trying to establish whether the bank had asked for any ID, passport or anything.

So I was suggesting that I get the HAWKWIND passport and try to take out cash, I'm sure they'd let me.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

Hey best of luck with the gig, Kate! I KNOW it will be fantastique!

― Dr.C, Friday, 2 March 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Murfle mumble. BIRTHDAY. Hmmm. Can I go home early today?

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 2 March 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks, Dr. C!

Are you at work on your birthday, Ned? WTF? Everybody is supposed to get their birthday off work. It is the way of things!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

Emsk, do you fancy a country bike rid on the 17th or 18th of March?

yeah, why not. maybe i will finally do BOX HILL the other day that weekend too.

― emsk, Friday, 2 March 2007 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

i got sent home early boo sucks. i am obviously too fast at working! (er this is not true, bc i am learning it takes me 2x as long to do everything as it will in a couple of weeks.) so i came home thinking YAY FLATMATE but she is not back yet.

― emsk, Friday, 2 March 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

Aw, I've been really cheeky and asked to support another band that I love.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

hawkfest2007?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 17:54 (nineteen years ago)

Erm, no.

i am losing the will to shoegaze. Quick, restore me. Or I may go home and practise the guitar all night.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:07 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going on holidays. Enjoy your nuclear winter.

― ailsa, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

Have fun.

30minute epic. you don't have to stay for all the bands 30 minute epic

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

Kate have you seen this young Boris Johnson picture (or rather painting of a photograph)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/07/uk_politics_enl_1172779106/img/1.jpg

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

Aw, I've been really cheeky and asked to support another band that I love.

DENIED. :-(

I think I should probably go home and get lots of rest.

And maybe a pizza.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

Sometimes you win by being cheeky, sometimes you loose. You can't expect to win by being cheeky.

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Kate, practice some gtr for Elektrik Komet Theorie!

(I'm such a taskmaster...when it comes to other people)

― tissp, Friday, 2 March 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

FAO Forest Pines: Check this...

It's him, isn't it!

― Keith, Saturday, 3 March 2007 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

It's who?

I did know him in passing - he was a friend of a flatmate - and he worked for the same people as me, although not at the same time. Keith knows his family.

― Forest Pines, Sunday, 4 March 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Oh bollocks I didn't notice it was *you* posting. Duh.

Yes, it's him!

― Forest Pines, Sunday, 4 March 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

Who sent me this? Skeletons & The Kings Of All Cities. I've never heard of them, what type of music is it?

btw here's the note attached

Fed up with drone & crap being sent by you know who? Well try this instead and ignore his other crap

So it must be one of you lot.

FP denies it's him.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 4 March 2007 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

It definitely weren't me. Have you asked Mitya?

― Forest Pines, Sunday, 4 March 2007 23:31 (nineteen years ago)

The man you called Metal Mitya? hmmmm. Maybe.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 4 March 2007 23:40 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all,

that, my friends, was a pretty tremendous weekend.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:34 (nineteen years ago)

Morning!

I am alone in the house for the first time in WEEKS! (Matt has taken Alice for a hearing appointment.) What shall I do with this unaccustomed freedom? (Apparently the answer so far is 'post to ILE'.)

― Archel, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

G'morning! It's sunny again, and I feel really well-rested for once.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

I am in the arms of alkyhell and am wondering if starbucks will mix me a bloody mary.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:50 (nineteen years ago)

Oh geez. How late in the favela last night?

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

Archel: Sleeeeeeppp...

You'll regret it later!

― Mark G, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:54 (nineteen years ago)

We moved on to prague to get food (And better cheaper beers), 'bout 10:45 I think.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

Oh my lord, what did you people do yesterday? Is this the treasure hunt?

I spent most of Sunday in the arms of alkyhell until I made myself a huge fry-up. Then spent the evening watching Spinal Tap and giggling mightily and wondering which one of us will explode in a bizarre gardening accident.

What a freaking GREAT gig!!! That was fun, wasn't it? And I didn't lie about the chatting up quotient.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

SECOND PLACE IN TREASURE HUNT RAH!

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

What a freaking GREAT gig!!! That was fun, wasn't it? And I didn't lie about the chatting up quotient.

No you didn't, I has a date.
