Anyway, for those who care about such things, Onimo is now the proud dad of a little girl. Megan was born at 11.33 this morning, weighing 6lb 12 oz.

I am glad you've revived this thread Alisa, I was going to start a Rolling Glasgow Gigging Thread but thought that might be a bit...forward.
Anyway, I am planning to go and see these things, I hope perhaps others might feel similarly inclined:
Tues 19th Sept - Pamela Kurstin @ Mono - She is a theremin improviser who has recorded for Zorn's Tzadik label
Thursday 21st Sept - Awesome Color @ Mono - Don't know much more abt them than that they're on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label and are some kind of 'rock' - as w/ the Kurstin gig, tickets are cheap enough to take a punt on, four quid or so
Friday 29th Sept - Rhythm and Sound gig - at somewhere called Afroyard, I think? (dunno where this is)
Sunday 8th October - Comets on Fire @ (wait for it) Mono - bought my ticket already for this, I've been digging one of their albs recently and thought they might be gd live - post HighRise Blue Cheerist rock scorch, sometimes with the 6 Organs fella (tho I don't know if he's w/ em for this one) - I'm hoping it will be loud good fun - and Acid Mothers Temple are also playing Mono in Nov, excellent.
I was tempted by the Davey Graham/John Renbourn/Alex Neilson gig but tickets are pretty expensive for that - £14 - and I trust the word of Dadaismus and others who say that Graham has pretty much lost the plot these days...sad... I wish Dick Gaughan was playing Glasgow, can't really afford to make it over to Edinburgh to see him this month
Plus Instal, of course!

A cpl of my friends are going on the guided tour of the Necropolis, which will prob be great, but I may pick somewhere I haven't already visited, depending on time/energy/inclination

Ward, they are doing guided tours of Dennistoun. Learn about your neighbourhood! "next, this is the spot where Madchen was shot at through her living room window whilst watching telly, and round the corner is a pub featuring ailsa and onimo grabbing a quick pint and laughing at the locals before they go to the football, oh, erm, Lulu's from here, cheers folks, that's the entire history Dennistoun for you".

Ward, it's at the subclub. the night that is putting R&S on are called kinky afro (quite a misleading name - makes it sound like some kind of funk night, it's not) i'll be going to this (it's my birthday actually) so come along with me! will be going to instal too.
Hearty congratulations to onimo & family :)

Seriously, Swallows and Amazons FAP, y'all. You get to go on quad bikes too, if you ask nicely. And pay.

has anyone been to the new squinty bridge yet, then? we drove over it from finnieston the other night. it's fucking great: like something out of GTA: vice city. (you half expect everything to stop so it can load the other side into memory.) only problem is you end up in confusing bloody govan, where one-way systems rule the roost and road signs are but a memory. and then when i did a U-turn the bridge seemed to have moved 90 degrees and we ended up at the grand ole opry instead.
still. squinty bridge. rock etc.

the organ improv was grate, v. thinly attended, which was a shame (tho it is a really crap evening bus service from the East to the West End)
