FAP, Camber Sands?

You know I don't think I've ever got paid for sex before. This could be the start of something profitable.

When I said tramp, I meant cheap tart.

Hey profit is relative.

And self respect and personal dignity are COMMODITIES to people like you!

£1.50 minus the shag?

£2

Now this is how I'm used to using sex to my advantage.

Ha! Back to 2p and some tissues?

As usual.

£2.50

Hey I can buy a pint now!

£2.50, a rubber glove and a tub of atrixo!

heaven.

Deal?

um...

£2.52

Yaya! Pinefox to the rescue yet again.

Now that sex has been removed from the equation, the bidding is going a lot slower...

Well looks the ticket goes to pinefox.

Seriously if you can make it down and no-one else makes a better offer for it before friday evening, you can have it for £2.52.

I'm meant to be writing an essay again. It's actually going even worse than the last one. Tomorrow, I will be around from 5ish, so could someone let me know what is happening, perhaps by text, or even by phone. I would come out sooner but it's only polite that I turn up to some of my lecture and even more polite that I bother to launder my clothes before going to ATP, this will take up some of my afternoon. Are we going to have a FAP in London tomorrow? That would be nice. Like not just ATP people, but others too? I like the others.

yes, other people will be there too.

However, we don't know where 'there' is yet. Ally, any where you want to go in particular?

And we like you.

I'll contribute another £2.52 towards the pinefox's ticket if he promises to bring his guitar.

I'll pay the pinefox a further £2.52 if he promises to bring his gutair and he busks with it on my parents' doorstep.

ally says he doesn't know where to go.

and he'll contribute £2.53 to the pinefox's cause.

maybe I should get a cause, too. except. no.

Ally is a dickslap

What does that make Madchen?

Unlucky?

She's dreaming of horses.

yeah, sorry I had a moment of tweeness there inspired by the tagline on the Fiver that the Grauniad sends out.

the ATP 2003 line is hardly pinefox friendly though? [i.e there is nothing remotely like lloyd cole or the sundays] having said that i would love to read a honest pinefox review of the artists performing.

Well thanks for nothing guys I've just sold the ticket for it's proper value, with no sexual favours attached! Yay I am pleased.

So, where we meeting up tonight? And are we arranging a FAP at Camber Sands or what?

Heh, pick somewhere nice in town for tonight, pref. Sam Smiths as you know what we're like. John Snow? As for ATP you can do what you flipping well like, so nerr :P

Right, Tonight = John Snow on Broadwick street, on the corner (aptly) of Hopkins Street. From - whenever you get there, I may be late as I've got a meeting I have to go to.

Tomorrow - Queen Vic, remwank corner, from sixish.

you were joking about pienfox guitar, right? right?

Does someone ATPing want to start a separate thread for all the Lahdahn types who have been (like me) completely ignoring this thread?

get the pinefox to rap instead!

Attention any ILXOR ATPers who know what I look like -- ie Chris and Lixi only probably: I will be there too so be nice and say hello and forgive me if I am very drunk...

I thoroughly disapprove of keeping a London FAP hidden on a thread about ATP at Camber Sands, and only telling me about it on the day! I shall endeavour to come anyway, and will be there before 6pm. For anyone who hasn't met me (Chris and Lixi are not always among the first there), there is a photo on my profile here. I'll be in a suit.

we only decided to really have it today Martin!

Reporting Back...

Music:

Good: The Fall, The Magic Band, the dub reggae played by the Rhythm & Sound DJ's before Andrea Parker & Mira Calix came on. The bloke wrapped in plastic who did his ironing so meticulously on stage during the last mentioneds set.

Interesting: Jim O'Rourke

It was an experience: Public Enemy

For the rest.

Nice chalet people. We upheld our corner of the pub for the fifth year. Starfish & building dams on the beach. A lot of booze. A lot more drugs being ingested around the site then I have seen before. A act on stage sounding like a box of angry bees. All the acts downstairs sounding the same as one another. Security very lax compared to previous years. I couldn't be bothered to buy the ATP CD this year. Someone asking for the P F to busk on the beach. A big ilXor announcement being made (can I start a thread, guys?) Bowling, darts, no trampolining or footie. A lot of food. One punter brought an ice cream-maker along. No nekkid sk8er boys. Exploding pandas. The seagulls are now as fat as mutants. Sunshine dazzling off the waves. Fun with Jelly Belly beans. Ally C dancing in his pants. Early nights.

Will that do for a start?

yes David, you can.

I forgot about the bloke ironing, he was great, apart from the scary mask. And the dub slection from rythm and sound was the second best dj performance of the weekend (after the pub late on Monday morning)

quite surprised that The Fall are still good. I've seen them twice, in 1991 and 1996, the latter occasion without Craig Scanlon and Steve Hanley. 1991 was fantastic - amongst the top 5 gigs of my life. '96 was so-so. And I thought they'd got worse. I'm beginning to think that i prolly won't go to another ATP, as there seem to be fewer & fewer acts I've heard of, but at the same time I appreciate that someone's bound to say "duh! It's not about the music!" right?

this year was so not about the music.

In my experience and that of friends, you can pretty much roll a die to decide how good the Fall are liable to me on any given night, and this has been true for a very long time.

would've liked to have seen A Guy Called Gerald, but prolly not this year. around the time of "Voodoo Ray" maybe! There was a lot of good stuff on the "Automanikk" album, which I recall was not partcularly well-recieved at the time.

But how do they know what you have thrown on your die? This is hocus pocus.

Next year will be lots better than this one, what with Mogwai, Tortoise & Shellac curating a day each. That's two bands I want to see play for a start!
