what time should one arrive?

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm doing the door from 9-9.30 apparently so that's the best time to arrive if you want to be given the incorrect change ;)

I'm playing from 10 til 10.30 so that's the best time to...continue dancing.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, treat it like Poptimism. Arrive earlier than you would for a normal club - it's only open until one remember.

Any afterparty plans yet? There's Public Life obviously and H. knows of a party going on round the corner - no idea if that'll be any cop though. We need to track down Ronan as well.

t/s: thai food upstairs or brick lane.

BANG FACE

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:45 (eighteen years ago) link

counterstrike?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Dude, food upstairs. Support our friendly hosts innit?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:56 (eighteen years ago) link

we're already supporting them with hundreds of pounds in cash!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:58 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm coming, and looking forward to this! i'm actually skipping a wedding that i may or may not have been invited to, to come boogie with you guys.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i'll probably end up thaiing though - laziness, lack of time for anywhere else etc.

xpost yay colette!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:03 (eighteen years ago) link

will lex play hilary duff - beat of my heart?

will stevem play kerri chandler - bar-a-thym?

will mdc play van she - kelly?

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Collette, YAY! Thank you!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope someone plays Duff.

i am not playing Chandler. you'll get Jentina and like it.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i think i'll play joe cole instead of duff.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I feel like I should come to this! But I have an ocean in my way... :(

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 12 May 2006 11:48 (eighteen years ago) link

you need a better excuse than that.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 12:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Gareth I forgot to bring the Van She record, argh. It's on my ipod though so it might be playable, maybe early doors.

I did bring the Dancefloor Saints bosh version of Mr Tambourine Man though, and whether or not it is unleashed depends on how drunk I am at the time. Saints preserve us...

Rob, if you leave now you might make it in time!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 12 May 2006 12:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Rob, the Atlantic's really narrow at the top. You'll swim it in no time!

― robster (robster), Friday, 12 May 2006 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

But I'm supposed to interview/see Coldcut tonight here in Toronto! Time to finish that teleporter device I've been working on...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 12 May 2006 12:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got a Tardis I'm not using...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 May 2006 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I am teh suX0r, but I'm sorry, I just don't think I'm going to make it down. I'm just too exhausted and am falling asleep at my desk.

― Vernon Jackson (kate), Friday, 12 May 2006 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

That was FUCKING AWESOME! I've just got home... London, I salute you. Everyone who played rocked, apologies to Barima for stealing his Thunder*, and it was great to see a post-club Ronan as well. Set You Free will be in my head for days now.

*Van Halen, actually

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 13 May 2006 11:28 (eighteen years ago) link

really good night. thanks to the Sugar crew for putting it on, had a great time. want more cake now.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 13 May 2006 11:39 (eighteen years ago) link

aye

― charltonlido (gareth), Saturday, 13 May 2006 12:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't get any cake :(

Katey and Marianna's dancing behind the decks = teh rock.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 13 May 2006 12:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I got cake :)

That was so fantastic y'all. Thanks everyone for coming down!

I love the way the sound of exploding balloons on the dancefloor is basically our trademark now. Things that go pop and things that go bang indeed.

Fab to meet Ronan afterwards too!

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 13 May 2006 13:14 (eighteen years ago) link

also Stevem you are an EVIL GENIUS, I am still in shock and awe at 'When Humps Cry'

It's hard to believe MJ had never been played before at Sugar. Everyone seemed so suprised it made me feel like a wedding DJ. I'm available for bookings, BTW.

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Saturday, 13 May 2006 13:52 (eighteen years ago) link

that was loads of fun! sorry we were late, sgs's train was delayed by fire!

the DJs i saw (marianna, barima and the lex, plus matt's last track) were all great and really fun to dance to. yay, hope you do it again soon.

― colette (a2lette), Saturday, 13 May 2006 15:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i apologise to whoever owned the magazine that i was defacing...

...carsmile + beer + marker pen + magazine = writing INDIE on everything...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Sunday, 14 May 2006 14:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Thank you so, so, so, so much to everyone who came out on Friday, I really appreciate it and hope you had a good time. Despite some personal dramas I had a superace time! Aren't the other Sugar DJs awesome? They're so awesome.

Mmm, cupcakes.

Can we go dancing again soon? xxx

Wow I'm really shiny in that photo. Awesome night! :D

― sgs (sgs), Sunday, 14 May 2006 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Need more pics.

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Sunday, 14 May 2006 21:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Rest of mine are here.

― robster (robster), Sunday, 14 May 2006 22:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Ohmigod, that looks awesome. I'm so sorry I missed it. And Yanna's shirt is DAH BOMB!!! (do ver kidz still say that?)

― Vernon Jackson (kate), Monday, 15 May 2006 08:24 (eighteen years ago) link

There was a work-related FAP in the King's Road and unfortunately by the time I came out I was far too knackered to leg it over to Whitechapel. Will try to look in at the next one.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 15 May 2006 08:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I had a harsh choice and went to the French night with Sarah and Kat instead, cos it was closer and easier for home really - that was good too but I'm sorry I missed this, it sounds awesome!

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 15 May 2006 09:21 (eighteen years ago) link

that was my magazine carsmile. the graffiti was strangely on point! though i am surprised you classed the knife as indie but not scatter.

i'm djing at 93 feet east tonight, for those who either a) can't get enough of me, or b) missed sugar...

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 15 May 2006 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i have 0 idea who scatter are. the knife are clearly indie though.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 15 May 2006 14:36 (eighteen years ago) link

i forget why.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 15 May 2006 14:38 (eighteen years ago) link

scatter are 'free folk'. drones and improv feature highly, i gather. it's a really good feature, though i would not like to hear the music. the knife are goth, not indie.

i just had a sugar flashback! when i dropped backstreet boys, marianna and colette and sarah danced IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER! :D
