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

hey im going to be in Glasgow from 16-26th September, first time in almost 3 years back in my home city <3 anyone know of anything decent on at that time in terms of culture and that? visual art, theatre, music, the dancing, etc.?

From Edinburgh Waverley to Queen street then, is that quite central? Any nice places to drink round there where we could FAP?

Queen Street is pretty central - everything's pretty central really when it comes to central Glasgow.

great - what's a good pub round there?

then I'm thinking of coming in an evening next week or week after.

I only really drink around that area with my dad so am only familiar with old man pubs with a tendency to show horse-racing, I'm afraid...

like old man pubs.

where have you had FAPs in the past?

Alpine Lodge has had at least one great FAP in it, last one I was at was in the Vale of Leven.

Obligatory NOT MONO post, even though I am not in Glasgow nor will be at this.

*Alpen*

Yeah, the Vale is good, and right next to Queen Street Station. It's so resolutely old-man-centric that I had to get a key to go up the stairs to the lounge to use the ladies toilet because they've never installed one down the stairs.

That Alpen Lodge night was amazing. Other FAP venues I can think of are Pot Still and the Drum & Monkey. And Mono, obviously.

I like the Pot Still, personally, being a whisky fan. The Vale is good by me too.

Would be fun to see you Jim in Glasgow!

Would be nice to meet some new people and catch up with some old people too (I still owe you a drink, krakow!)

Excellent! I'll definitely be there.

Agreed - I'd really like to meet up with both new and known folks.

I shall be there too. Julio does your number still end ...702?

when is fappage?

Oh come on, that would involve Glasgow being organised!

let's not blame glasgow

jed - yes it does.

How is next Thurs, 30th July at the Vale

Happily go with Vic bar as per jed's suggestion in the other glasgow thread.

Can do Tue - Thurs at the moment.

Yeah, either suits me. Can't do Wednesday, but otherwise should be good to go.

Thursday is better for me but either really.

we're so bad at fapping we can't even choose a thread.

Its this right? http://www.theartschool.co.uk/food/

Looking like Thursday...we are getting there.
