the rolling london dancing thread

i don't think you can buy nus advance tickets for fabric, but presumably showing an nus card on the door does the job.

who's coming to hawtin/villalobos, anyway?

eg Ed! apparently? Ed?

Gareth? i texted him but to no avail

dec3 is looking a possible, also. there is talk of ronan golf raver possible appearance.

there are 25 threads about ronan

whats on the 16th dec at fabric?

3rd dec im doing get physical in leeds - 3.50 on train as opposed to 20/30 pound.

lucianos playing leeds on the 26th nov so presumably he will be in london some time round then too.

er, yeah. oops. NOV 26th obv.

as you were...

i am worried i have been sending txts intended for other people, to you...again.

did i send a txt on friday night about not being able to get drugs or something? that was for O, i cant work out if she is ignoring me, or it is that i sent the message to you

i have no idea what im sending to who, anymore. perhaps it doesnt really matter

maybe i sent it to you as well. i dont even know anymore

a bit of my phone fell off, the day before yesterday

Ooh, that is my birthday. My 30th. I'm still looking for a plan. What's happening at fabric?

i don't see that the 16th is very exciting, really...

This kinda tempts me even more than Garnier and co at the End. I need to make up my mind properly and also feel better but MANDY is kind of on my hitlist for way too long now.

also, house party in my hood means even cheaper hedonism a short walk away.

i'm going to my best friend's birthday dinner party first, so i will probably turn up quite drunk sometime between twelve and one. guess i'll see whoever's there in the usual place (left hand side if facing stage)? texting works ok in the main room, anyway.

crazy times.

thanks for the printing tip, i would have never have done that. in fact, i may never do it as i dont have a printer now ive left work :(

ill work somethign out. i have attempted to contact you via Lex with my phone number. whats rickyt doing?

(i'm a bit regretful that i decided not to go now!)

Possibly free, don't think I've been charged going in there before, but not too sure, the flyer doesn't have any door price on it. Midday to midnight, probably going to be very very messy.

it was pretty good, but i was too full of food and kept getting stitch, so gave up at around 5. i'm pretty sure that's the fullest i've ever seen it - was so, so glad i had aticket, the queue at 1am was ridiculous. was it really that packed last year?!

do please come along! we'll be dressed as pilots/stewardesses/ground crew and there will be aeroplanes *everywhere*...

it soudns stupid but i just sort of resent the fact that to hear music i so completely enjoy, with such incredible sound, is just such an unpleasant place to be. i often look at people in fabric and only about 20% of people even seem to be smiling, or look like they are having fun. the rest are caught up in a maelstrom of pushing past, squeezing in, or just wandering around looking lost and defeated.

too many people last night i know, and it probably wouldnt be like that next time, but i just cant be bothered. everyone i know hates fabric, and i was the last cheerleader for it, i sort of liked the inhumanity of it, the machine like, unpleasant atmoshpere on the door and queuing systems, etc. but i think ive changed sides.

there isnt a solution really, i dont really think that fabric are to blame, if you have people queuing to get in at 4.30 having been there for 3 hours, then you are going to try and get them in for 15 pound a head. but i dont really want to be part of it.

sorry i didnt meet you toby, i left early at about 2.30, partly cos i was knackered from driving down, partly due to logistics with friends still in the queue. i appreciate that had i been i na better state i might have been better equipped to handle the crowds in the main room, but i still sort of feel "how on earth DO you have fun when all night, non stop, people are pushing past you one way or the other?", constant movement, not dancing, but just travel. i dont do any drugs so i wonder if that would take my mind off it, but whilst shutting my eyes and zoning out does help, and felt really good, it wasnt enough.

apparently matthew dear was firing, and i cant believe villalobos played that skream tune.

good to meet you marianna, albeit briefly. sorry it was a bit random to accost you in the middle of the busiest flow of people, but i thought i should say hello at least!

next weekend i think i may go to this night of charlies,

i think there was talk of going to The End on one of the first two weekends of december, i would be up for that.

this talk of packedness seems a shame, i dont really like things to be all uncomfortable like that, space is pretty important

i do LOVE the way they get you reasonably priced cabs when you come out tho.

i have to say that i feel the same way, except i think i'm prepared to give it a few more goes - the fact that it's not much more than 20mins walk from home makes it easier to bear, and i do like that not having to queue if you have a ticket makes it easy to get in.

i dont do any drugs so i wonder if that would take my mind off it, but whilst shutting my eyes and zoning out does help, and felt really good, it wasnt enough.

yeah, same here. plus i just don't feel comfortable closing my eyes for longer than about 30 secs.

moral is: get there super super late. 4/5 maybe i guess. but im just too tired to handle that really.

yeah, i was thinking that, too. it doesn't sound like that would have worked that well on saturday, though. i guess i could go to bed at like 9pm on a saturday, set an alarm for 4, get up, go down to fabric for a few hours... but do they even go on past 7 most times?

i wonder if people would pay more to get in if they lowered the numbers? i certainly would.

also, did anyone go to the aftershow on sunday? i've never been to one - maybe i should try getting some sleep on a saturday night and then going out on a sunday afternoon sometime?

(btw ricky does that email address work?)
