lauren is probably otm but it's funny to read all the same. I guess I'd probably find it annoying too, in London.

In Dublin there are never nights with more than one act on. But then, tonight that act is Black Strobe, at our club, so not so bad.

queues.. pah.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 12:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Showoff.

What's upcoming?

― BARMS, Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:26 (nineteen years ago) link

apart from Poptimism/Annie tomorrow? and grime in Stratford on April 2? if anything's going on this weekend I'm going to try to avoid hearing about it as I might have to go home :(

(btw Barima - are you Housewiving chez Cis tonight?)

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:31 (nineteen years ago) link

we should do a decent URBAN night around Apr 8/9?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh for god's sake no. That's the weekend of my birthday. I intend to have a River Lee or Lea walk on the 10th and I need people in good, un-ruined shape.

― Masonic Cathedral (kate), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 10:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm going to the Lady Sovereign thing on Thursday.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:11 (nineteen years ago) link

i will wish i was there when 'I Wanna Sex You Up' is played at Poptimism

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I do want to join you, Suzzzzzy, but Poptimism?

(btw Barima - are you Housewiving chez Cis tonight?)

I have a (rescheduled) job interview after work, so it'll depend on how knackered I am (I'm always tired, like in Fight Club).

― BARMS, Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:20 (nineteen years ago) link

lets talk about weekends in april.

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 11:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Barima, unless your job interview finishes at 21.55, you have no excuse to come and enjoy the total rockingness that is our housewives partays.

Get Physical on the 16th, innit?

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 13:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Lex, and other people: NANCY SINATRA LONDON MAY

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 25 March 2005 04:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Greg the Nancy Sinatra date is the DAY AFTER VITALIC. I am in distressed shock.

Maybe, if it has not sold out and we are feeling OK the next day, we can traipse over to Shepherds Bush and buy tickets on the door. But it's going to sell out, innit... and I'm not risking buying in advance :(

Ellen Allien is playing The Poke on the 22nd. I am considering it.

In other events, who's up for Get Physical on the 16th?

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh crud, I've done nothing about the get Physical yet. I'm still up for it at the mo.

Meantime, I want cheapness all next week, in order to stretch my money further. And I want to be drunk and wake up in strange bedrooms with no idea how I got there.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

It's your last chance to catch Tiefschwarz at The Key in Kings X this Saturday. As far as I know anyway - they'd only booked 3 nights in the place last I heard.

Drama Society playing as well, plus some blokes from Phonica.

― MattR (MattR), Thursday, 7 April 2005 18:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I think it might be sold out ALREADY :(

it is probably for the best. i won't have drunk since marianna's birthday => vitalic is gonna KILL ME DEAD, plus finals start two weeks after! eek

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 19:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh fuck, I can't make this Saturday. I'd kind of presumed they'd be playing every month.

Ah well, they'll play again.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 7 April 2005 21:04 (nineteen years ago) link

bump, for the 22nd/23rd, whats happening people?

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 14 April 2005 19:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Amyl makes a brief, unpopular comeback after I decide to end it all on the dancefloor with a flick of my lighter.

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Thursday, 14 April 2005 20:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Think that'll cover the whole weekend?

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Thursday, 14 April 2005 20:11 (nineteen years ago) link

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 15 April 2005 11:58 (nineteen years ago) link

you better grow a beard now or you won't get in

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know what to do with myself.

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Except, turn into Gareth, hmm?

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Gareth with a painful beard.

― Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (Disco) (Barima), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:42 (nineteen years ago) link

the beard with headband would've been a good look, but i fear the moment has passed.

― $V£N! (blueski), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago) link

that moment has indeed passed

anything happening this weekend?

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:57 (nineteen years ago) link

the beard with headband would've been a good look, but i fear the moment has passed.

― BARMS, Friday, 29 April 2005 13:37 (eighteen years ago) link

OH GOD WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR ON SATURDAY!!!

Should I wear...

a scarf?

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Friday, 29 April 2005 13:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, what else is on tonight?

― BARMS, Friday, 29 April 2005 13:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Luxembourg are playing tonight in Camden but I'm starting to have second thoughts about going because I'm tired and my hangover isn't lifting and I've just had shitty news from an editor who ignored my emails for A MONTH after I already had the go-ahead from another editor to do AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF WORK and I think I may have exceded my weekly quota for actually dealing with ex boyfriends.

― Lapdog Shoesnog (kate), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:01 (eighteen years ago) link

You coulda just said "I dunno"!

― BARMS, Friday, 29 April 2005 14:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry, I'm in a bad mood now and needed a rant.

My abridged answer is: Luxembourg are playing in Camden. That is something that is going on tonight. (Here I am, brain the size of a planet and I'm giving club listings, etc, blah blah)

― Lapdog Shoesnog (kate), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:12 (eighteen years ago) link

I think you need more than one event, big brain! Soz about the bad mood.

― BARMS, Friday, 29 April 2005 14:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Vitalic people - where should we meet? What about that bar we went to for Marianna's birthday, at about 9.30?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually, forget that, its a bit of a trek. Foundry?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Am easy for Vitalic meeting, anywhere really. who is coming? I know of me, Matt, Marianna, Pete?, and a few non-ilx friends of mine.

also, I think I have a spare plus one should anyone want it, Greg is suffering from impending finals.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:37 (eighteen years ago) link

The Big Chill is OUT because scary bouncer man wants my babies.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:52 (eighteen years ago) link

I am reading this thread with a sad sad face :(

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

IT'S NOT TOO LATE GREG

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 29 April 2005 18:08 (eighteen years ago) link

OK.

Marianna and I have arbitrarily decided on 10pm at the Bricklayer's Arms on Rivington Street to meet up. Does this suit all?

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 29 April 2005 21:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Whoops! It's actually on Charlotte St.

Hello! I am back and aware of these dancing shenanigans tonight. I'm all over Vitalic like white on rice, and as for a meeting place, I see I've been beaten to the punch re: Bricklayers Arms, which I like. I usually suggest the Dragon bar (my personal fave), but it's not a good spot for us to meet - too packed and loud. At the Bricklayers you can just hang out on the street, and it's a stone's throw from Cargo...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Saturday, 30 April 2005 10:49 (eighteen years ago) link

So since I've been away for 3 months, what goes on in dancing places these days? Are there dancing robots yet? Are there any fashion trends or faux-pas I should be made aware of?
