try glasgow more

ok!

It's started pissing down here. I dont wanna have to wear a coat, it's too warm! Argh

i've just been wandering around the city centre getting soaked. as soon as i got home, it stopped raining. fuxxake.

The Pastels are support tonight. Onstage at 7.45pm.
MBV are onstage 9pm (approx) and off at 11.
(I phoned up the barras to ask)

That's a much longer set then, they were on at 9 and off at 10.30 in London.

well i wont be surprised if they dont come on at 9

my mate who saw them last night said they came on about 9.15 and were off 10.45, so i think it's the same kind of set and the barras don't do minutes :)

ailsa says it looks like they might be sorted, and to tell you thanks, herman :)

well at least that means i dont need to rush out at the end and can just take my time. Getting picked up at 11.
I usually leave by the fire exit at the back right of the hall if they still allow that. Not been to the barras in years.
And that's great if they got the tix.

SOMEONE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS has just looked at our tickets and OMG they are for YESTERDAY!

i've done this. with a plane ticket. (glad all's - apparently - sorted now!)

Aw man it's thunder and lightning here now with unbelievably heavy rain.

If anyones still looking for tix, there'll likely be loads going on the door. About 20 people selling last night as we went in. Weren't even going for free...anyone say cReDiT cRuNcH

Aye, we got sorted, cheers Herman :-)

You're welcome!

if anyone cares, momus seems to be playing stereo on the 27th. i can't make it -- will be at a wedding -- but thought i'd mention it.

i like the fact there's one confirmed attendee on last.fm ... which is momus himself.

I'm going to Glasgow...but only for one night! I'm going to be hanging out at Optimo on the 27th.

fyi, glasgow: dan and his gf are wonderful people.

i encouraged him to post on this thread, and now i feel like a mother who has pushed her kid into the sandbox.

Cpl of gigs, glasppl

Anyone got plans for Doors Open? Not much is grabbing my attention, tbh.

Nothing jumping out at me, but if anyone cares to suggest something, I might be amenable to coming along. I shall be in town anyway on Saturday as I'm lunching with my mum, so would be nice to catch up with folks since I've been in credit-crunch-induced hibernation for what seems like forever.

That's one of ours, I think, but I can't quite figure out a way to claim going up to Glasgow to look at pretty buildings as a business expense. yet.

Stet and I might go to Traffic Control Central and start a fight with the person responsible for traffic lights.

Hello, it's me.

Mrmonkey and I will be trying Glasgow more at the end of January, if anyone is about. We have a party to go to on the 31at, but will be around for a few days if people want to hang out.

I should be available for some hanging out, if required.

Yup, me too.

This would be good. Count me in.

I would like to come along to this, if I can - don't think I've seen any Glasgow ILXors since that drink-up before the Carter gig

Top! Be excellent to see you.

Yes, Carter was A YEAR AGO. Who says Glasgow doesn't FAP, eh?

Top! Be excellent to see you.

You too. There was something I needed to have a big argument with you about. I can't remember what it was, but I've written it down, I'm sure.

Oh, Dead Set, that was it. Yes. Have your points on index cards for that weekend, please.

yes, it will be great to see grimly but he is DEAD WRONG abt DEAD SET

festive FAP anyone?

before christmas or between christmas and hogmanay?

also, i just had to draw your attention to this from the gays thread:

Kevin J. Bozelka just called me "Sugar Bear Booger Britches". LOL!!!

Also an ilxor sent me a photo of another ilxor dude who um...is really GOTH AND HOTTTT. Or at least he was in the 20 year old pic on his last.fm page!

haha Bimble is hott for the young onigoth.

He'd only be disappointed with the older heavier boring me.

Some creepiness going on from ILX's resident last.fm stalker all the same.

before christmas or between christmas and hogmanay?

After Hogmanay would be good for me; all else is fucked.

i am 'down south' until the 3rd jan :-(

I'm off work until the 5th, so I could probably make it to a Festive FAP.

I am in glasgow area between Christmas and Hogmanay.

I'll be back on the 27th. Does anyone fancy larging it with me at that FAC 51 thing?

I've considered it, but I fear it will be absolutely appalling :/

My plan would be to get so drunk it doesn't matter.

I am not sure what between Xmas and New Year plans are yet, but if I'm around, would be up for fappage. I'm in up in Inverness for Christmas, but am not sure if we're staying up for New Year or not. So I vote for Grimly's after-Hogmanay plan as well!

Was that not last Sat? Is there another? Xp

It got moved, according to a poster I saw somewhere yesterday.

Yeh, it was meant to be last Saturday. I was quite pleased: I was away, so couldn't have gone, and didn't need to feel guilty about betraying the Spirit of Wilson.

To be honest, though, I think the Spirit of Wilson would think the whole thing was gonna suck dick. I mean, it'll be full of ageing professional northerners girning about people playing the wrong mixes (ie cunts exactly like me).

I had an early night instead, and was up with the lark yesterday to do a mountain of washing. This is, perhaps, the very definition of old.

A mate just rang me and asked where (other than the Apple Store) I'd go to get an iBook repaired in Glasgow. Good question: the Apple Store's kind of wiped out a lot of the competition.

So: has anyone got any computer-repair recommendations to share? (Personally, I think he should just take it to the Apple Store, but hey.)
