Yes to Stink with SuperMayer.
Yes to Allien & Apparat live, the show is awesome.
No to Soulwax weekender
Maybe to Fabric on the 18th (my school reunion is next door at Smiths)

rchinn (rchinn), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 12:42 (seventeen years ago) link

vath at the end on the 11th, fabric on the 18th

-- (688), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 13:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i've never seen Craig Richards and still have no idea what he looks like. this may be because he actually lives in Fabric and never comes out.

;_; (blueski), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 13:02 (seventeen years ago) link

18th is tempting, but we really have to start diversifying our dancing again.

Badrock Example (Barima), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 10:08 (seventeen years ago) link

The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 13:15 (seventeen years ago) link

what's a good time to turn up to stink? haven't been since about february, so have no idea as to busyness etc...

toby (tsg20), Monday, 6 November 2006 11:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i've turned up around 11.30 in the past which seems to be failry good...though the last time there were big queues so maybe a bit earlier.

The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 6 November 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks. Does it go on til 3? I'm teaching first thing which probably prevents me staying out much past 1, sadly.

toby (tsg20), Monday, 6 November 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

How do you people possibly manage to function after weeknight dancing? I think it would totally destroy the following day at work for me.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 6 November 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I prefer the old person's dancing.

More Cut A Shine, please!

Dear Cafes of London (kate), Monday, 6 November 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i believe so...i've taken tomorrow off, hurrah. xp

by taking the next day off matt of course!

The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 6 November 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean there was that time we went to see vitalic at nag nag nag and i did half a pill and had work the next day but that was just temping.

The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 6 November 2006 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

HANDBAG HOUSE

TINSEL ANTLERS

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 04:55 (seventeen years ago) link

THAT WAS LEX NOT GARETH

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 04:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Tinsel antlers? In November?

Is there a good pub near Fabric we can all meet in? Not the Betsey Trotwood.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:24 (seventeen years ago) link

slaughtered lamb?

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:26 (seventeen years ago) link

that was really good last night, i thought. my legs hurt a bit now though, i'm clearly a little out of the habit.

toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:32 (seventeen years ago) link

That floor though - I was doing the "shake beerglued plastic shards from soles of shoes shuffle" for about half the time. Other than that though, top fun, the last half an hour or so before we left was particularly excellent.

ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i think i'd like tinsel antlers

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:53 (seventeen years ago) link

16 year old gareth is staring at you through the mists of time and weeping.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Drukgs really were better back then.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 10:11 (seventeen years ago) link

gareth i heard you getting up as i went to bed!

michael mayer ♥

spitcher had a panda mask too!

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 10:36 (seventeen years ago) link

depends what time you went to bed. i didnt exactly have a normal sleep pattern last night

went to bed: 630pm
woke up: 1030pm
went to bed: 415am
woke up: 630am

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

oh ok - i got in around 5am i think and went to bed just after 6am. it is odd how after battling to keep my eyes open on the buses home...suddenly once inside i was far too awake to contemplate sleeping

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:31 (seventeen years ago) link

yea i probably was going to sleep again around 5ish.

i need to regularize my sleep

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

This is fascinating! Whose turn is it to do the washing up this evening?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:40 (seventeen years ago) link

washing up? i didnt know alex knew what that was;)

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, when did we get married?

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

washing up is something lex listens to, not does

2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:46 (seventeen years ago) link

i am going to do the washing up today! either before i go to the cinema or after. i haven't decided whether i want to see little children or saw iii yet

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:48 (seventeen years ago) link

this probably isnt the thread for it, but i think we may as well reveal that

a) lex thought i was playing Achey Breaky Heart. On repeat
b) achey breaky heart really sounds like flaming lips
c) i wasnt playing achey breaky heart.

-- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

a) true
b) true
c) false

2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Lex, The Page Turner is on at the Rio! I don't know if you'd like it, but it's got to be better than thse two.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i can never tell whose music is whose here! although i guessed 'uptown girl' was sam's.

it is not within my ability to trek to the rio today, i am limited by the holloway odeon :(

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Doh, sorry I forgot you lived there instead of here.

Haha there's always Step Up!

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:10 (seventeen years ago) link

ok the blokey in that is fit and it has the single of the year on the soundtrack but i feel that my time would be better served looking at pictures of him on the internet while actually listening to ciara

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:13 (seventeen years ago) link

could you not manage the camden odeon or islington vue? they're only a bus ride away.

how are supermayer so cute? it is surely not natural.

ampersand, hearts, semicolon (cis), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello. Do we have a pre-Fabric pub sorted yet? Slaughtered Lamb is a bit far in the wrong direction for my liking and I know other people have a problem with it. Is there anywhere around Farringdon Station that's likely to be open and not shit?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 10 November 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

On the offchance anyone coming is reading this, I'll be in the Duke of York on Clerkenwell Road from 9.30-10ish. I'll text people if there's any change of plan.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 11 November 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I shall wave out the window.

Ed (dali), Saturday, 11 November 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

haha. WHAT AN AWESOME RAVE! DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG

ellen was so so amazing as well.

what was that café which appeared across the road just as we needed it?! that place was exactly what i was craving. BEER AND TEA ALL MORNING.

The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 13 November 2006 10:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought everyone that wasn't Ellen or Rex was a bit meh really, although there were some good minimal noises in Room One early on it all went very clunky later in the night.

Partly because Ellen was playing live and Rex (I think) only played his own records and remixes, there was a general feeling of being more like a fantastic gig than a club night in its own right. But awesome nonetheless.

Also, for some reason I just didn't expect to hear Heartbeats, it hadn't even occurred to me he might play it, so it was just this ridiculous joyful moment.

That was probably the most welcome cup of tea of my life. So, Carl Craig at The End in two weeks time, then?
