Thanks IK, looks good. the pre-theatre fits the bill I think.

It's a nice area too, lots of pubs & bars around if that's your thing

Christ steady tho. I've got to go out for organised work drinks later, so it's just a chance to get a bite to eat, and have a drink before going to some terrible terrible sounding place, I can't even

should've organised a FAP IK

ubiq chip is a good shout. if you eat upstairs in the brasserie, it's a more relaxed vibe tho the cooking's all done in the same kitchen

anyway this thread is non canon

That's a thought. I'm actually there tomorrow as well (if it's tomorrow Fizzles) but only 'til fiveish so not really fap timing.

I'd've liked to FAP, but it's really all about work and I don't think I'll get the chance. lit eminence gris IK and velocipede supremo cozen wdve been great.

mother india is v nice, & stereo & the 78 seguing into the café side of things x

i am moving to glasgow in october and know nobody up there so would be well up for a FAP if someone were to organise one.

Most of which (on Ashton Lane itself) are G1 Group-owned, so to be avoided if you have any sort of a social conscience.

A Glasgow FAP is long overdue.

fu g1

so mono it is then

(mother india - slightly overrated? only time i went there was on a Saturday evening (we'd booked) and felt the whole time we were being rushed to finish and fuck off asap. have had tastier curries in glasgow too (eg the wee curry shop))

will be up in Glasgow every few weeks or so, so all this is good info. maybe room for a fap on a subsequent visit?

Will be there the second weekend in November or so.

I'm in for Glasgow FAPs.

Ailsa is there more horribleness to G1 Group than "just" the toilet mirror thing? (I mean that's more than enough on its own- I'm just curious!)

Just released I was in two G1 venues last weekend without even realising (I was even sitting in one when telling my recently-moved-back-to-Glasgow companions to boycott G1 venues, oops). Their tentacles creep far and wide.

btw, Stefan King has previous for being a twat, but obviously some of his best friends are black, etc

whit, nae doomsday?

Glad I found out about the Orangefest, was planning on heading into the city centre on Saturday

Welcome to the brave new progressive world of Scotland, post-referendum and post-SNP landslide.

No Orange fest fap then?

I will unfortunately have to be in the very near vicinity on Dundas Street all day. Hoping it stays relatively quiet.

So the Arches has been closed :(

Most of their club nights were a bit shit but they had some good bands on. And Alien Wars

Conjunction of the Arches having to close and the OrangeFest = fuck this city council

Saw some amazing gigs at the Arches just in the eight or so years I've been up here - Hijokaidan, Keiji Haino & Tony Conrad, Maryanne Amacher's one and only UK appearance, Marginal Consort, Swans etc etc. RIP

i shook horace andy's hand outside the arches after seeing massive attack in 1994

he was v v sweaty

drugs innit

still at least the Corinthian is open late for bottles of Grey Goose eh lads?

It makes me so angry. My other half is losing his job because of this.

yeah, really sad - it was such a great venue. very fond memories of seeing the boredoms there - and the palpable tension between tom verlaine and richard lloyd when television played.

fuck :(

If there was sufficient outcry, would this decision be reverseable in time to prevent the Arches folding? This seems a spectacularly stupid and counterproductive decision on many levels.

I've signed an online petition, but I'm not sure if it will or can have any effect. It's a ridiculous bit of grandstanding on the "look! we're tackling drugs" front which will do nothing to tackle drugs and has put a giant hole in the Scottish arts scene.

got a link to that petition ailsa?

Might be too late for that one, but you'll get updates as to next action if you sign it.

(I signed it before they went into administration)

Orangefest was a bit of a damp squib (quite literally due to the weather last Saturday), but fuck them for even thinking it was a good idea.

great, cheers
