plastic people was where charltonlido and i drank tequila together for the first time. his blink 182 appreciation can be traced back to that night.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i look forward, to the dancing

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Lauren - turning alcoholics to Blink 182 since 2000.

I am officially going to knock Tiefschwarz on the head now and concentrate on next Friday, I think.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 11 March 2005 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Next Friday sounds like a good plan for me, too.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 11 March 2005 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Tiefschwarz new single will be renamed 'Disst' at this rate

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Friday, 11 March 2005 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, my flatmate actually dances like that!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 11 March 2005 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, and he's still paying off my therapy bills over it.

― BARMS, Friday, 11 March 2005 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

your flatmate, if you're talking about who i think you're talking about, does waaay more than that

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 11 March 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, he'd make Reggie Yates-doing-'U Can't Touch This' look like he was standing still.

― BARMS, Friday, 11 March 2005 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Gorblimey FIGHTSTAR are playing at the Academy tonight. I'm going to be DJing to Charlie!

In the unlikely event he wants to stick around listening to indie rub

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 11 March 2005 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

To complicate this coming weekend, just seen there's a Bugged Out at The End Saturday 19th March with Miss Kitten, Erol Alkan, Mu, Ben Fat Trucker / Druzzi's, Nathan Gregory Wilkins, Serge Santiago, Alex Smoke, Chris Blue, RAF Daddy, Lil Lucy & Alice Fine.

No idea who the last 3 are, but the rest of the bill's ace. Dunno how I'm going to fit it in with Optimo, recovery and moving house all in 48 hours though...

― MattR (MattR), Monday, 14 March 2005 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

friday is very important, for...us all

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

looking forward to it lots.

there is just too much going on in London tho - i miss so many things where i think 'well you could've gone to that and because you didn't U R A LOOZA'

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish parties would be a bit more adventurous, though obviously i can't complain about the quality. but still, it's like there's an identikit: pick one from column a (miss kittin, tiefschwarz, ivan smagghe), one from column b (trevor jackson, erol alkan, jojo defreq, nathan wilkins), and one from column c (riton, pablo psychonaut, 2manydjs, maurice fulton).

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they should have Drew Daniel in one of his old gogo-thongs in all 3 columns. Also, London defines identikit DJs!

Steve, I wore a t-shirt to Vitalic. Stay off the talking E's.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Erol, Nathan Gregory Wilkins & Chris Blue are all Bugged Out London residents though, so it's not a surprise they're on the bill really? Though I find it a bit odd that Miss Kitten is playing again, she was only in town like 2 weeks ago surely?

For those heading to Our Disco friday, it'd be a very very very good idea to be queueing by 11pm. Queue's for Optimo can be a wee bit hectic there, even though the doors won't open till 11ish, it'll sell out easy with the crowd who're there then.

― MattR (MattR), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

lauren is probably otm but it's funny to read all the same. I guess I'd probably find it annoying too, in London.

In Dublin there are never nights with more than one act on. But then, tonight that act is Black Strobe, at our club, so not so bad.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

queues.. pah.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Showoff.

What's upcoming?

― BARMS, Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:26 (twenty-one years ago)

apart from Poptimism/Annie tomorrow? and grime in Stratford on April 2? if anything's going on this weekend I'm going to try to avoid hearing about it as I might have to go home :(

(btw Barima - are you Housewiving chez Cis tonight?)

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:31 (twenty-one years ago)

we should do a decent URBAN night around Apr 8/9?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh for god's sake no. That's the weekend of my birthday. I intend to have a River Lee or Lea walk on the 10th and I need people in good, un-ruined shape.

― Masonic Cathedral (kate), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to the Lady Sovereign thing on Thursday.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i will wish i was there when 'I Wanna Sex You Up' is played at Poptimism

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I do want to join you, Suzzzzzy, but Poptimism?

(btw Barima - are you Housewiving chez Cis tonight?)

I have a (rescheduled) job interview after work, so it'll depend on how knackered I am (I'm always tired, like in Fight Club).

― BARMS, Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

lets talk about weekends in april.

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Barima, unless your job interview finishes at 21.55, you have no excuse to come and enjoy the total rockingness that is our housewives partays.

Get Physical on the 16th, innit?

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Lex, and other people: NANCY SINATRA LONDON MAY

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 25 March 2005 04:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Greg the Nancy Sinatra date is the DAY AFTER VITALIC. I am in distressed shock.

Maybe, if it has not sold out and we are feeling OK the next day, we can traipse over to Shepherds Bush and buy tickets on the door. But it's going to sell out, innit... and I'm not risking buying in advance :(

Ellen Allien is playing The Poke on the 22nd. I am considering it.

In other events, who's up for Get Physical on the 16th?

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh crud, I've done nothing about the get Physical yet. I'm still up for it at the mo.

Meantime, I want cheapness all next week, in order to stretch my money further. And I want to be drunk and wake up in strange bedrooms with no idea how I got there.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Is anyone but me tempted to dance by this?

It's your last chance to catch Tiefschwarz at The Key in Kings X this Saturday. As far as I know anyway - they'd only booked 3 nights in the place last I heard.

Drama Society playing as well, plus some blokes from Phonica.

― MattR (MattR), Thursday, 7 April 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it might be sold out ALREADY :(

it is probably for the best. i won't have drunk since marianna's birthday => vitalic is gonna KILL ME DEAD, plus finals start two weeks after! eek

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh fuck, I can't make this Saturday. I'd kind of presumed they'd be playing every month.

Ah well, they'll play again.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 7 April 2005 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

bump, for the 22nd/23rd, whats happening people?

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 14 April 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Amyl makes a brief, unpopular comeback after I decide to end it all on the dancefloor with a flick of my lighter.

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Thursday, 14 April 2005 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Think that'll cover the whole weekend?

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Thursday, 14 April 2005 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, is that what you were looking for, Charlton?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 15 April 2005 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

perhaps, i think it looks alright!

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 15 April 2005 11:58 (twenty-one years ago)

you better grow a beard now or you won't get in

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what to do with myself.

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Except, turn into Gareth, hmm?

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Gareth with a painful beard.

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

the beard with headband would've been a good look, but i fear the moment has passed.

― $V£N! (blueski), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

that moment has indeed passed

anything happening this weekend?
