I'm very excited.

Whooooo

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

That was my Excited Marianna impression. Good huh?

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

:D Awesome Anna!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:29 (eighteen years ago) link

More DJs?

Incidentally, Mari, I'm sorry about the speed date thing.

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Yay!

― robster (robster), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I can forget about Dre, but not about Forget About The Sugar.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:35 (eighteen years ago) link

it'll be SWEET.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Will there be any stand-up comedians present?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

It'll be statutory.

x-p HI DOM

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

LET THERE BE CAKE!!!!

Hurrah. I am also excited. Though Shoreditch, hrmmm... is it very *Hoxton*?

― Bernard's Summer Girlfriend (kate), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Kate knows jokes too!

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I hate stand-up comedians. Not if I can help it.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm with you, Lex! Down with stand-up! Up with Bernard Sumner's disco dancing!

― Bernard's Summer Girlfriend (kate), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:43 (eighteen years ago) link

It is Spitalfields really, not Shoreditch. This is underneath AN GASTROPUB but you wouldn't know if you went straight downstairs. I approve wholeheartedly of the food upstairs though.

This will be the Best Night Ever.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 April 2006 10:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, it will be a Thai restaurant upstairs by the time of Sugar, which could well be handy.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:00 (eighteen years ago) link

B, you don't have to apologise to me for anything, ever.

It's going to be a busy week. Take That on Wednesday. Shimura Curves on Thursday. Sugar on Friday. WOWEE!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Blimey. You may expire of delight!

(Or possibly exhaustion)

― Bernard's Summer Girlfriend (kate), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I quite fancy going speed dating actually. It beats drunkenly snogging people at the hot dog stand/ crepe van at Highbury Corner.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Your Matches

Sorry, you have no Yes matches yet.

My mum intepreted the fact that there were no black girls there as me searching for a white girlfriend. We have SUCH an intuitive relationship.

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Sodding ATP weekend, innit.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:14 (eighteen years ago) link

also my birthday weekend :)

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:15 (eighteen years ago) link

It'll be STEVEMY

Will there be any stand-up comedians present?
-- Dom Passantino (juror...), April 7th, 2006 11:38 AM. (Dom Passantino) (later) (link)

Dom there will be, but the smart ass comic may realise that he needed jokes about things other than new york. while doing a gig in spitalfields.

you coming then?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, there is ATP clashage. Sorry Andrew.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:24 (eighteen years ago) link

The title of this thread should really read 'Friday May 12, Swinging London Town' ;)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:58 (eighteen years ago) link

i think i'm going to be around this weekend now, after all

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 7 April 2006 12:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not going speed dating anywhere that Marianna and Anna are coz I would get no hitz. Boys are rub anyway. Unless I'm drunk and then they're all LOVEly. WAIT WE ARE PLAYING A GIG SO WE WILL BE ONSTAGE AND THEREFORE WE HAVE TO GET LAID. well, it worked on V-Day didn't it? Maybe? Oh wait, not it didnt. Ach.

Week of doom? I can't wait.

― Bernard's Summer Girlfriend (kate), Friday, 7 April 2006 12:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Last time I went speed dating was horrendous. And I could tell, so ironically, despite the name, the evening felt like it lasted all night.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 7 April 2006 13:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Dating is rubbish! Speed kills! Speed dating... kills at rubbish speeds!

Yeah.

― Bernard's Summer Girlfriend (kate), Friday, 7 April 2006 13:25 (eighteen years ago) link

haha barms i was gonna go speed dating last week too!! but then i got high.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 April 2006 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

In all fairness, I should point out that Philippa and Hannah were my favourites. The report I e-mailed was way too negative but will provide some juicy material for my stand-up routine on the night.

― Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Friday, 7 April 2006 16:36 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

WOOOOOOOOO! Shiny new flyer:

I wish I could go to this. I am currently listening to You're So Gangsta by Chromeo and feel that this would perhaps be a song I would hear if I went to this. That would make me happy. Have fun, kids!

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 8 May 2006 18:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Aww Ally, come! There are plenty of spare sofas for you to sleep on. Even blow-up mattresses!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Monday, 8 May 2006 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Last night I dreamt I had made a life-size model of the sugar girl (from our flyer) out of marshmallows. Oh my!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 06:45 (eighteen years ago) link

And now I'd really like some marshmallows.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 06:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Mmm, me too.

Bump. This is tonight kids! I am very excited.

I'm wearing my Take That t-shirt! I'm so excited! I'm also super tired.

You guys are critics choice in Time Out, you know!

I wonder who could possibly have tipped them off...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Marianna, marshmallows are on special offer in Marks and Spencer at the moment, if you mean the choclate-covered ones. I was going to bring some in to work to try and get everyone to look fatter than me.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, this is an incredibly un-Matt DC thing to say but... WARDROBE CRISIS!

what time should one arrive?

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:34 (seventeen 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 (seventeen 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.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:43 (seventeen years ago) link

t/s: thai food upstairs or brick lane.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:44 (seventeen years ago) link

BANG FACE

counterstrike?

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

Dude, food upstairs. Support our friendly hosts innit?

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

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

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

Collette, YAY! Thank you!

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

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

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

you need a better excuse than that.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 May 2006 12:08 (seventeen 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!

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

aye

― charltonlido (gareth), Saturday, 13 May 2006 12:09 (seventeen 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 (seventeen 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 (seventeen 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 (seventeen 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 (seventeen 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 (seventeen 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

Rest of mine are here.

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

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

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

i forget why.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 15 May 2006 14:38 (seventeen 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
