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.

thats it, J.

Great - looking at the map its a 10-15 min walk from queen st station.

Once we get a few more people hopefully confirming Thursday or Tuesday then all I have to do is look forward to it :-)

10 tops, i think. great!

Tuesday & Thursday both suit me, with not much to choose between them. I can't do Wednesday myself either.

Happy with Vic Bar.

Ward and Onimo - are you about?

Hello! I am very much hoping to come along to this drink up and don't have a particular preference for a day.

One of the mags I am working on at the moment goes to print in the next couple of weeks, and there is a small possibility I may have to work late some evenings next week, but should be OK.

I would prefer Thursday but don't arrange around my preferences coz I'm an unreliable flake.

Happy with an beer-stocked venue </nomono>

is the alpen lodge really a decent boozer? that bit of hope street is a bit weird, once had to leave the park lane - bar right next to the alpen lodge - about a minute after arriving because a regular was gieing me the heavy growlers and I was feart of getting ma haw maws booted.

the two-heided man has always intrigued me as well...

Thurs it is - see you all then.

Excellent.

I might poke my head in to the Pot Still on the way up, as Edinburgh brewery Top Out are doing an event that night and I've really enjoyed the couple of their beers I've tried. Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/925578187507152/

I like to keep the bottom of Hope St as strictly a "one more ill advised wee vodka before the last train" thing.

I was in the Alpen Lodge with a colleague the other week. Everyone stared at us like we'd just wandered in off the moors talking out loud about their family werewolf.

Denholms is the king of the last-sneaky-dram-before-the-train pubs.

who's in and what time is good?

The train takes about an hour I think so I'll try to be there by 6.30-7.

Earlier if I can.

See you all tomorrow!

great! i take it some will be working in town and not going home first? how does from 6.30 sound?

I'm hoping to get up for a bit, but something's come up and I'm not sure what time I'll be free. Will do my best though, be nice to see folk!

I do have to work late tomorrow, but should be at the Art School by 8pm at the latest.

I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight in the end I'm afraid, just too many deadlines piling up. If I can nip up it will be early on though.

Hmmm I am really struggling with deadlines, too - need to get pages off to a client before the weekend - would a reschedule be better?

Never change, glasgow.

Let's ask xyz. I'm fairly easy and could do next week if required. I guess if depends onejo was coming in the first place!

Thanks jed, next week would really be better for me - but as you say, it's xyz who has to travel.

Alternatively, I could come up to Edinburgh one evening - still getting my head round the capital, even after all this time, so always happy to visit it.

Preferred this week as I might be a bit busier next week but I like to think I'll be able to work around.

Lets make it for next week - would Tuesday be ok for people?
