the rolling london dancing thread

yeah, it did stick an extra 4 quid or so on, which was pretty annoying. not sure if you get to queue-jump, but the ticket claims guaranteed entry if you turn up by one, and i like the idea of being able to show up at half 12 rather than queue at 11, esp as the late end means i'd rather not start until 1, anyway. also it was a way of making myself go, rather than wimp out at the last minute.

the house party i was going to go to looks like it might be a bit shit, so i think i might concentrate my efforts on fabricking.

PS:Ricky was Konrad Black DJing or live?

konrad black was djing, ronan. you should come to magda/richie/ricardo at fabric on nov 19th.

It's a shame about this weekend I really want to see M.A.N.D.Y. I will definitely think about Magda/Richie/Ricardo though. Just didn't want to pay for a flight and make the effort of going over while I'm still not really feeling the best.

going to jan jelinek and raumschmiere the night before, at cargo. gonna leave before raumschmiere tho.

G, come to fabric!

whats the deal with tickets? can you really just waltz in? or, which queue do you have to join?

i might NOT be coming now, as i missed my train to london (AGAIN!) due to forgetrting tio take my booking number, and another single was 50 quid. will see how much things are from sheffield, opr consider megabus tomorrow, and scope it out. also, i missed getting advance tickets which have sold out

but im listening to tonetrager !welcome back kotter" now and thinking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guido schnieder and alex smoke are playing in leeds tomorrow but it wouldnt be as good as fabric. or would it????

gareth, lex, persuade me...

if tonight, do you expect it to be good?

im not going now. £50 for a single!!!

might try for hawtin etc in Nov though..
enjoy, people

I haven't slept yet. Instead when I got back I read the new Bret Easton Ellis novel. All of it, in one go. My mind feels a bit weird now.

matt - THERE WERE LASERS IN ROOM ONE! possibly there have always been and i hadn't noticed.

green velvet was the best thing ever basically. esp, it has to be said, the 2nd half (after lex and cis went to see luciano) - flash, war on the saints, la la land and the lasers. i will say more about this tomorrow when i can make sense of it.

booka shade - live drumming which was actually good!

umm i need to sleep a lot more before i can say anything more, really.

I was too tired to do anything yesterday at all. I tried to go to Sainsbury's to get some food but was so hassled by the queues I decided to go home again. All of ten minute walk usually, but it took me half an hour on account of having to sit down in Barnards Park for fifteen minutes to recover my strength. After that, there was no way I was going to come out.

also everyone should come along on nov 19th! i bought my ticket this afternoon.

i loved lunar park, i'm still trying to marshal my thoughts into coherence because it did my head in a bit - i think it's possibly my favourite ellis work (and i LOVE his stuff generally esp glamorama). the astonishingly narcissistic reality/fiction elision actually works really well though i think the most important element of the book might be the stephen king influence. oh and the last couple of pages are astonishing.

i bet something cmoes up on the 19th too....

back to the subject of fabric - how late did you guys stay? were you there when the free beer got handed out?

i haven't really got a great deal to add to what i said above, except that mandy were really, really good, although i think the only thing i recognised was trentemoller's "polar shift".

anyway, november the 19th, magda/richie/ricardo, everyone should come! i'm ysi-ing the hawtin/villalobos essential mix now, guess i'll put up a link in an hour or so...

the lady and i are putting on a night on sat sep 26th at the bull in clerkenwell. it's called such great heights and will involve all sorts of fun aviation-related things as well as much dancing to unavoidable leg-shakers of this ilk:

Gwen Stefani ELO Public Image Ltd Supremes Franz Ferdinand Sonics Saint Etienne Rolling Stones Fleetwood Mac Basement Jaxx David Bowie New Order Tom Vek Pulp Rachel Stevens LCD Soundsystem Roxy Music Arcade Fire Kraftwerk Rakes Postal Service A Certain Ratio Annie

So do please come. It's only £1.99 to get in, and you'll get a polystyrene aeroplane for your trouble...(we bought *way* too many)

< /plug>

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
