Brighton

Despite train strike it looks like trains are actually running tomorrow so I'm going to attempt to get to Wolf Eyes at West Hill Hall.

I'm missing out on that one. Partly b/c I'm still mostly avoidant of social events, but also me & my bassist are doing a flash fiction comp over the weekend so will be writing writing writing.

might be there but i'm doing the marathon on sunday morning so it would probably be more sensible for me to have an early night. am a bit shit at being sensible though so maybe!

heavy month for buying tickets though - necks, richard dawson, faust - gonna have to rob a bank

Tempted by Faust...

Might see you then Nick!

Hold off on buying Faust tickets, guys. There are two dates and one of them might have special ILX power. Possibly. If we all clap our hands and say we believe in fairies.

I believe I believe I believe!

Okay it's not in the training manuals but I will be at wool thighs after all. Meeting up with a friend at 6:30 at the evening star if you fancy that cp (or anyone else). Currently wearing a black t-shirt with a red stripe in case I forget what I look like.

I'll probably get there about 7:30-7:45, will you still be in the Evening Star then?

Sure, we'll wait there for you

I hope the Marathon went well Nick!

Yeah thanks Matt, it was pretty good! Was treating it as a bit of training run so I was just tootling round enjoying the sunshine - most of my long runs I just dawdle about in the woods eating crisps and listening to music, so it was quite mentally taxing having to deal with all the people and general lack of snack breaks, but it was a good vibe and I wasn't too hungover, so yes - really enjoyed it.

Hope CP got back to Hastings okay on Saturady - sorry I didn't stick around at the end, I was in need of a bit of a lie down at that stage.

Yeah I got back fine, sorry I was a bit out of it when I got there!

Oh btw Nick, the Beat/Selecter gig is actually next weekend, but it's sold out anyway.

Looks like the Faust thing is a no-go, btw, so go get yr tickets for whichever date. (We had a moral quandary about playing the 'Con Club' and majority ruled that it probably wasn't okay to play there. Tbh I would've completely sold out my principles for Faust, but not everybody is as venal as me.)

What's the quandary?

I had thought maybe the Con stood for Conservative but seems like it's Constitutional?

'Consitutional Clubs' are historically Conservative clubs. So far any info we've found on whether it's still tied to Tory support has been vague.

i thought it was constitutional club because of thomas paine's residence in lewes. vive le republique!

i could be kidding myself though

They're listed here: http://www.toryclubs.co.uk/page/website-linkup

Sneaky fuckers keep that quiet on their websites/social media.

doesn't really say much to clear up the confusion on their website. i didn't notice any explicit political affiliation the one time i was there

The link I posted says at the top "Below are links to Clubs who have already contacted us", implying that Lewes Con Club contacted the Association of Conservative Clubs to register that they are a Conservative Club, which seems damning enough for me.

oh shit i missed that. vexing!

Aha, I've been wondering about this for a while, nice to get a confirmation.

Me & my pal are doing a Jpop and Kpop night at the Hope, a week on Thursday. Would be good if people fancied coming down (it's free and in the downstairs bar).

Jo and I are going to Sunn O))) - hopefully we’ll come down afterwards though :)))

i might have attended too but i'm actually going to see Sunn O))) my son O. (in his school musical)

ganbatte!

slum of l3gs news update please!

Sorry that sounded a bit demanding. Is there a new record in the pipes?

Yeah - except, er, I'm attempting to mix it myself. Hopefully will be done by the start of autumn. We're not doing very many shows at the moment for a variety of reasons, some of which are supreme bummers.

Very much looking forward to the one with the Wolfies

helo fine ppl of brighton, i'll be frequenting yr lovely town over the next few months, as after a couple of years of being a failing academic i've finally managed to get a little lecturing work. for the most part i'm unfortunately basically going to be getting in for long working days and heading home, but do let me know if anything good is happening on mondays or thursdays.

Ooh! Sussex or Brighton uni? We should meet up for a nice pint.

holy shit, welcome merds! Am definitely up for a fap one thursday evening

Hi there! I work on the Falmer campus at the moment, although in a non-academic building.

Why Mondays and Thursdays by the way?

o i'm part-time so those are the only days i have to be in just now, though once i have office space maybe i'll occasionally fancy making the trip down when not strictly necessary. thursday fap sounds an excellent idea - once i'm clearer on schedules and departmental obligations we can start trying to plot that.

(it's at brighton uni, at the campus right in the middle of town - not a place i knew that much about before tbh but it all seems v nice.)

How's the job going? I don't work so would be happy to meet up for a daytime coffee if you don't have time for an evening beer at the moment.

I hope emil.y doesn’t mind if I mention she will be playing at this month's Headphase at The Hope and Ruin. The event goes from 3-9pm and I’ll be DJing too alongside the other resident, Acquaintance from the Anti-Ghost Moon Ray label.

shocker - i might even be able to make some of that. i will try!

sorry i missed your post emil.y - it turns out that being a lecturer makes you quite busy. rude imo. but tomorrow strike action is blessing me with an afternoon off, is anyone around for a coffee / early pint?

Damn, I'm actually busy today for a change. And I'm leaving forever in a couple of weeks!

ah instead i enjoyed a little wander which i hadn't really had time for before. that bookshop on uhhh, the steep street that goes under the train station, it's pretty chaotic eh?

i think i can make some time this tuesday late afternoon / evening! anyone around + free?

I'm up for Tuesday, jaja.

Holy shit you wankers

I'm visiting Brighton on Thursday to see Algiers at the Haunt and going back Saturday morning if anyone's about

Hey maybe!

Also apols for previous drunken shout out, that was just directed to the universe in general. fucking universe.

Haha, glad you had a good time Nick!
