the ABC was far, far, far too hot. you'd think if they could spend a million pounds plus doing the place up they could at least put in some air conditioning. and it took an hour to get a drink at the bar, and the sound system was way too quiet..moan moan moan.

anyway, despite gripes glad to hear that you were there ally. i knew jed wouldn't make it as i had a feeling his 'team' would let him down.

as for cut copy, i would love to have them play. i saw them earlier in the year and they were great fun. i just don't know how to go about contacting them. how about dot to dot playing some time? we could do a big discount for ilx'ers.

Blimey, we would LOVE to play. But would people accept a bunch of indie no-hopers? We might get lynched!

The heat was palpable, yes, but not as bad as the Woodside! The bar queue annoyed me when I wanted to dance to 'Maps' etc in a great 20 minute section and was stuck there. The sound was loud enough I guess, but was that it at it's limit? The ABC seems an OK place, overall.

I am listening to 'Sailing' by Christopher Cross. This is making me very happy before I go to sleep.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I didn't finish at work till 12.30 and wasn't really in the mood. I like the ABC though. I've been there twice in a week too, but I guess Anthony & The Johnsons didn't need to be so loud or cool. Maybe I like the ABC2 more.

Blimey, we would LOVE to play. But would people accept a bunch of indie no-hopers? We might get lynched!

Just play a 30 minute extended version of that opening instrumental and you'll be fine.

Sorry I couldn't make it either. I couldn't be arsed.

i knew jed wouldn't make it as i had a feeling his 'team' would let him down.

i always come to BRWH's! i think i've been to every one since Raumschiere (sp?). however, you are right, i'm crap to have missed it :(

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

dottodot@optimo cool!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

we missed you, colin.

stirmonster, you practically made my year with the perfect twenty minute section starting w/the mingling bells of mayer's maps and brutalga square and the 5, 10, 15 minute wait for the main line of dexter to come in.

I should have some pictures of basteroid up on flickr soon enough.

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't notice the heat really but the volume level was really strange - it would have perfectly easy to hold a decent conversation in there. in fact, they could have had newsnight review or question time in there. maybe you could book them for the next brwh?

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

spawn o sting looked creepily like his daddy-o
and was equally as non rockin', with an odd chicken pecking head tic as he strummed his plugged-in acoustic guitar. the drummer circulated among the 25-strong crowd afterwards asking people to sign his guest book.mailing list thingie. then the painfully awkward banter-making bassist put them all to shame when he literally got on his knees before ally, begging him to buy a £5 tee-shirt. wow. desperate is not the word. sad, perhaps?
what a gig.

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

An experience, at least.

All eyes on NEDFAP now, I suppose. But before that:

Friday, 8th July - GOODBYE 148 PARTY, 9PM ONWARDS. ALL WELCOME. xx

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

YES MORE ROFFLES PLEASE

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

can we have a FAP a week on Friday? or Saturday? what else is happening in two weeks? a separate thread seems a bit excessive...

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

look here now

I hope I'm able to be around for both nedfap and stevalixfap

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i kept thinking i was coming over in two weeks not three...stupid me. this is excellent timing with Isolee then - fantastic.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

isolee when? i thought it was july 24th?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

at optimo i mean.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

ah thats right then, *confusion*

result!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh, Isolee is the Sunday night before the busiest week of my life. Argh.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 4 July 2005 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Are tickets in advance needed for Isolee/Optimo then?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 4 July 2005 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

no.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 00:39 (twenty-one years ago)

goin early and queing is though.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i think stewart should do a feature on ally and his new facial hair for beard. i definitely think it's been a major influence on dot to dot's new RAWK direction

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I quite fancy a drink and a look at Ms Lander in the cellar. Does anyone else? RJG? Ally C? It won't be your local for long.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Alba, when is this? Tonight?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yes, just now, I meant.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't had my tea, yet, and we are supposed to be packing

I will shout "cook"

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I phoned him

he says he hasn't had his tea, yet, either but that we could go for "one"

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Neil is at the pictures all night and I am bored. I phoned Cook earlier and he was supposed to be packing when I requested him for a diversion from watching shit telly. I am up for a pint if this is happening (I don't even know what is happening, does it involve Camera Obscura?).

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's a BYOCO party.

I'll pop over to the old 148 ranch and see if I can rouse the troops.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I am wearing shorts

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

:-o

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Should I move from my house Glasgow-wards and wait for a phone call (I think only Ally has my number?)? Or should I continue watching Coronation Street and being bored? Will someone tell me if something is going on that will relieve my boredom?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I think "one" may only mean "two", in this instance, so I don't know how worthwhile an excursion it'd be if it isn't on your way home from work or down the hill from your flat

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I am going to their decaying house and they are going to eat their tea and then I will try to persuade them that boxes are for squares and they need to have a drink at the Brunswick Cellars, where CL may be barmaiding and shooting us 'ha ha' looks every now then. If this sounds interesting then do join us.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Fucking hell these chocolates are good.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

oh and big brother is on at ten, so

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I have no better options, so I may jump up by teh BC. Please come out as it will be a wasted trip otherwise (I am eating my tea so you have about fifteen minutes to post back if this is the case)

I didn't know CL had a real job. I should get out more.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I will come out.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I am just miffed because there are three pub quizzes on in Paisley tonight but the mister has gone to the pictures, leaving me with a free evening, and has kidnapped all of my local mates to go with him thereby robbing me of my pub quiz team. bah. I might come out, if I do I will be in the Cellars within the hour.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

what a world

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 July 2005 10:45 (twenty-one years ago)

It sure is a sunny one.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 11 July 2005 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't looked at this thread, for quite a while.

It no longer makes any kind of sense.

Ally C, you should ask Steady Mike to play you his 'wonky' version of 'Sailing' by Christopher Cross, one day.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Monday, 11 July 2005 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

hey. anyone trying anything in glasgow this weekend?

― dahlin (dahlin), Friday, 15 July 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

i'll be trying to get out of bed at 5am to go to arran for the weekend.

5am!

buggery bollocks.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 15 July 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

I have a carefully planned menu of utterly bog all.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Friday, 15 July 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

OK here is the skinny

I am moving back to glasgow, provisional upon:

M&S announce 6 new jobs at sauchiehall store on weds

I will transfer there if I can get a job, with adequate hours &c.

so:

I am looking for a) a flat & b) a flatmate:

a) ally c said there was a 'nice' flat available above you, lucy, what can you tell me about it? e-mail? the one here is good

b) RJG said he knew someone who was looking for a flatmate.

so.

I won't know for sure if I can move back in 'till wednesday

and then I can start catering to my two part flat conundrum

hi glasgow

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 15 July 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

Terrific. Can't help.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 15 July 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

What good news! I do hope you come back, cozen. Can't help either, though.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 15 July 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

my friend is nice and irish and an architecture student but lives almost next door to us.

why do you keep saying funny things, cozen?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 15 July 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)
