the rolling london dancing thread

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

whats on the 16th dec at fabric?

3rd dec im doing get physical in leeds - 3.50 on train as opposed to 20/30 pound.

lucianos playing leeds on the 26th nov so presumably he will be in london some time round then too.

er, yeah. oops. NOV 26th obv.

as you were...

i am worried i have been sending txts intended for other people, to you...again.

did i send a txt on friday night about not being able to get drugs or something? that was for O, i cant work out if she is ignoring me, or it is that i sent the message to you

i have no idea what im sending to who, anymore. perhaps it doesnt really matter

maybe i sent it to you as well. i dont even know anymore

a bit of my phone fell off, the day before yesterday

Ooh, that is my birthday. My 30th. I'm still looking for a plan. What's happening at fabric?

i don't see that the 16th is very exciting, really...

This kinda tempts me even more than Garnier and co at the End. I need to make up my mind properly and also feel better but MANDY is kind of on my hitlist for way too long now.

also, house party in my hood means even cheaper hedonism a short walk away.

i'm going to my best friend's birthday dinner party first, so i will probably turn up quite drunk sometime between twelve and one. guess i'll see whoever's there in the usual place (left hand side if facing stage)? texting works ok in the main room, anyway.

crazy times.

thanks for the printing tip, i would have never have done that. in fact, i may never do it as i dont have a printer now ive left work :(

ill work somethign out. i have attempted to contact you via Lex with my phone number. whats rickyt doing?
