I bumped into Alang, Emma and Pete on Saturday afternoon outside the Odeon Tottenham Court Road. They were going to see 'Eternal Sunshine' (what a great film!), I was on my way to buy a stereo.

I heard good things about Architecture in Helsinki. By "new KG" do you mean Tae Won Yu's (sp?) new duo with Sarah Marcus? I wanted to see that, Sarah used to be in a band with my girlfriend.

Yeah that's who I meant, Tae's new band, which is just Tae and Sara. He's dating Rachel's quasi-partner at Vinegar Hill Printers, aka "my house," so he's been over a few times lately. I hadn't seen him since the heyday (such as it was) of K/cking G/ant, but talking country records with him piqued my interest. (Mind you, Sara and he aren't making country music.) The new band sennes to be called "the KG Band." I didn't know that she's a pretty decent drummer, and held it together well, and the band is really good, sort of a spare-sounding (though loud) tuneful din, shortish songs, lots of Tae's wheezing in his tenor. And since the K days, he has become a bit of a showman. What was your girlfriend's band?

Four or five people told me Arch. in Helsinki played a hell of a good show. I wish I had seen it, claustophobia notwithstanding.

my girlfriend was in the Long Lost, which was playing out about a year or two ago. Sara was the drummer in that band too, she's great.

and actually my girlfriend's playing at Eat Records in Greenpoint tonight. If you're interested, I could send you an email with the details.

jed, with a roll of newspapers, at st. george's cross.

RJG, with a sweat and without painkillers, was unable to afford the polite, interested converstion he would have liked and, unfortunately, ended up just being rude. jed, being a gentleman, graciously "let" him "go".

maybe next time.

I bumped into Matt DC in St James Park on Thursday lunchtime, strolling round the pond. Twice.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Saturday, 15 May 2004 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw jed about 3 weeks ago walking along past walkabout. presumably to the UGC cinema.

N. at the top of buchanan street; (sorry I had to rush off!)

RJG and cathy, along from the art-school, we said hellos.

I bumped into ally c a week before RJG's party earlier in the year. and about a month ago he walked up behind me on sauchiehall street and said 'howie, howieyedoin'?'

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 May 2004 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, yeah, cozen and a gf, on renfrew street. I almost didn't count this, does that mean I think of you differently, now?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 15 May 2004 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you think of him that way?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 15 May 2004 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I can think of you differently too.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 May 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

play the x-post lottery.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 May 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

There was someone who looked just like Jerry the Nipper, bar spikier hair, in my hotel in Barcelona, but he was German so I decided it wasn't him.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I am not even a proper ilxor - however! did I spot some at the Dylan Moran gig last night at the Palace Theater?

― clive (Clive), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 08:29 (twenty-two years ago)

i was there, trying not to pass out

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

how is killer? is he over on a visit?

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

No, he lives here now! He's back for good, with his lovely missus, and available for parties, weddings and sunday afternoon kickabouts.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i bumped into starry a couple weeks back at lunchtime on tottenham court road.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

and yeah as mentioned stevie at regents park tube, and ben killer apps but that was more by design as it was after our tuesday evening kickabout.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 09:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I went past Baran's office.

I did not see him.

― the bluefox, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I was at the bank.
I am back in now.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow!

― the bluefox, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

I saw BurmaKitty and Aja front and center at Mission of Burma last night at the fillmore in SF. No I didn't go talk to them because I thought that would seem creepy. But now you all know someone who has seen Aja in person and can confirm her actual existence.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 10 June 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Has anyone seen YOU in real life?????!?!??!?!???

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Thursday, 10 June 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I have.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 10 June 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

saw Johnney B at the bus stop today. This is hardly surprising, as he works across the road from me.

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 10 June 2004 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Tracer at Angel, 7pm, last Friday

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 10 June 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer Chow, in Los Angeles eaterie The Little Door, last weekend.

Actually, he saw me first, and as I shook his hand for the very first time, one of my contact lenses was out of place. I'd had a few glasses of wine. Hopefully nobody noticed all of the blinking I was doing.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 June 2004 20:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Didn't notice it at all! Kim didn't mention anything either. Just "they seem *very* nice."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 10 June 2004 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 June 2004 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah didn't quite realize who you were, and at first suspected I had paid people to "spot" me.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 June 2004 21:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha! Well, thanks again for the lox plate at King's Road then!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 10 June 2004 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Only Built 4 Kosher Lox

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 June 2004 21:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I randomly impromptu-ly saw Kyle AKM and wife walking into the Explosions in the Sky show at the bottom of the hill quite a while back. by the time i got in, they were gone like a poof of blue mist.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 10 June 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

JaXon & wife at the Giant Robot party in SF on Saturday. We left when the cops showed up. This was the most sedate party I've ever seen the cops close down.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)
