xp I think it's ok tbh

iirc it became something of a running gag that no-one could ever think of anywhere else to meet up for a drink in a city full of pubs & drunks

My objection to mono is that it's a big echoey atmosphereless shell. But lots of people I know like it. It's definitely been a good thing for the city.

Yes, also very bad service at Mono. Prefer it as a gig venue over 13th Note and Stereo, tho.

Even more of a fucking disgrace - I've never been to the Art School before! So it is good to meet new people and go to new places. Character building.

Will prob go home first, so 7pm might be a bit tight, but won't be far off that.

The vic bar is closed for a refurb. I just went past.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:03 (eight years ago) link

er, the art school website doesn't say anything?

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:29 (eight years ago) link

Mono?

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:49 (eight years ago) link

How about Bon Accord - walking distance the centre with (usually) decent beer choices.

Or the Pot Still?

passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:57 (eight years ago) link

LOL

My suggestion was going to be the CCA, as it's just round the corner from the Art School and should be easy enough to find for a novice to the city (Bon Accord a little trickier) - Pot Still good shout too

Pot still looks like a nice pub - is that ok everyone? - should be able to make my way there from queen street.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:31 (eight years ago) link

kinda awesome cca have a saramago cafe.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:36 (eight years ago) link

So...

POT STILL AT 7PM
AGREED?
NO CHANGES ALLOWED!

PS. If Ailsa is reading this I've lost your phone # (again) & sent you an email. Could you send me a text if you don't have email access?

passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 14:52 (eight years ago) link

All good - see you all shortly.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 15:06 (eight years ago) link

Contact made with onimo, all good. Will try and pop in for one or two but have to take it easy.

ailsa, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 16:03 (eight years ago) link

I'm in. It's busy. I have no idea who I'm looking for.

passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 18:06 (eight years ago) link

If anyone else is in the Pot Still I'm the lonely guy thinking baout things and browsing on my phone at the big pillar.

I am also the only man here wearing a tie. (savages)

passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link

I hope you were found.

Madchen, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link

I was!

Well done everyone. You managed to get plural ilxors in a pub in Glasgow. This achievement cannot be underestimated.

passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:21 (eight years ago) link

Yes! Excellent. I spotted Onimo without recourse to this thread. Very proud. Great to meet new and familiar faces. We could easily do this every few months so let's try x

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:43 (eight years ago) link

Much fond talk was had of madchen, stet, rjg, alba, keith and many others so if your ears were burning that was the cause.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:50 (eight years ago) link

That was fun! Lovely to meet you, xyzzzz__ and great to catch up with Ward, jed_ and onimo again. Let's try Glasgow more, people.

passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 23:34 (eight years ago) link

Thanks to xyzzzz for getting us out - on his (unannounced!) birthday, even. Lovely to see everyone and yes, let's try and have another one in 2015. Maybe even at the Art School. Or Mono.

sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 07:59 (eight years ago) link

Thank you all so much for last night. I can recommend all visitors to try Glasgow more.
