Hello.

My band will be playing in London, on Friday 2nd September, at The Buffalo Bar in Islington.

We are called Dot to Dot and you can find us here www.jointhedots.tk.

It would be lovely to see you there.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

I look forward to it.

Funnily enough, I just received a promo CD from a grizzly US band called "Dr Dog". Maybe they could support you.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

FAGs, definitely

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

see you there!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

Dr. Dog!!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

Is the Buffalo Bar the one under The Famous Cock?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

I think so.

Dr. Dog as in "Ten quid alright?" Dr. Dog?!! If so, I want them.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

how is this dr. dog? judging by the name I'd assume they are amazing.

anyway.

everyone have fun at the show!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Is the Buffalo Bar the one under The Famous Cock?

Soon to be re-named The Famous Cook.

Dr Dog, yesterday.

Cook, and the dots, at the Cock. Cor!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

doctor cock

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Will Dot to Dot all be in alice band(s)?

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

no, but we're trying to get the bassist to wear spandex!

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

I think dot to dot should dress in all black with glow in the dark GLOVES. You will really wow the crowd!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

I have my SKELETON GLOVES!

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

Do they glow in the dark? All the ligths are going to have to be off too. But I'm sure it'll be WORTH IT!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

but then patrick won't be able to see the lil sticker on his harmonica that shows him which side is up! he'll be lost without the sticker.

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

I've got the photos, they've got the moves...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

You can get glow in the dark stickers

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

OH! I guess the idea isn't going to work. I just wanted London to see a band consisting of JUST HANDS.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

I think I would need a glow in the dark guitar, too.

Kelly, this is a GREAT IDEA. But a TERRIBLE IDEA.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:02 (twenty years ago)

I know! Thanks! I think it should be my new specialty. Great/terrible ideas.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

they come hand in hand

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

(Ally in the background)

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

PIPAS! LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS!
is this to be believed?

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 09:34 (twenty years ago)

Errrr... will any of the boys there be wearing kilts?

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

possibly!
not my boy tho
he's english

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 10:47 (twenty years ago)

what have you heard, dahlin? what am i supposed to be believing? or not?

― michael grant (michael digby grant), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

How about an "in-store" appearance for those of us who have to have an early night?

I suggest Chicken Cottage, Upper Holborn, at about 4.30. The "Upper" refers to our choice of pills.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

How much does this cost? I'll come anyway, but I'd like it to be cheap. I am not referring to how much the instore Chicken Cottage event is, those things are always free.

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:39 (twenty years ago)

I want to see Ally play sweet music.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

And Silver Springs, featuring Katie G who is not at all unrelated to this Man2ManParrish (and who are rather quite good)!

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

It truly is ILX0rpollooza this weekend. Now why couldn't we have managed to get the gigs on the same night at the same venue?

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

I only want to see the Michelle Dotrices.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:05 (twenty years ago)

So, 4 bands on the same night. (Silver Springs, Language Of Flowers, Pipas & Dot to Dot.)

I hope the music extends over a long period, otherwise no band will actually be on stage for very long.

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:09 (twenty years ago)

pipas said they'll be short and sweet
pity :(
will you be recording the magic?

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

(Wait a minute, is this going to be really twee? What am I letting myself in for?)

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:15 (twenty years ago)

a wee bit twee
tho dot to dot are also RAWK

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

I ph34r the twee. I may only go if I am promised kilts.

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

dude.. you like 10-year-old artists! I just discovered.... crazy!
i bet michael would wear a kilt if you asked nicely

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

I may try to come to this

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Ph34r the kilt tree!

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

RJG, would you wear you kilt, please?

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

sorry

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

my kilt is still in glasgow. and it would involve some compliocated cross-country manoeuvering to get it down. also, i don't want to. i might get egged.

― michael grant (michael digby grant), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

Maybe I'll dig out my own kilt. But then I would possibly become quite confused. (Though it's a bugger to wear in the summer, it weighs a ton and is quite hot.)

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

Hurrah! The Buffalo Bar is right by my house! Easiest ILx meet up ever. (Please stay and come and see our band the following evening)

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

If RJG comes I would like to qualify to become his Friendster.

Which is all the more reason to do an in-store.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 13:05 (twenty years ago)

does PJ miller work at chicken cottage?

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

Above and to the left. Close enough to have a strong spiritual bond. I think they only have workers who need to adapt to the British way of life though.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

" *** THE BEAT HOTEL @ BUFFALO BAR ***

Club until 2am.

Door: £5 before 11:30pm/£3 after

The Language of Flowers
Infectious pop that harkens back to the golden
era when Sarah and Subway Records reigned supreme. Perfectly jangly
guitars, weightless melodies, and Tara Simpson's bright, airy vocals.
Classic indiepop that mixes the best moments of Heavenly and The
Primitives. "Indie popsters of the highest order, hell bent on rotting
your teeth with tunes sweetened beyond reproach." (Splendid)
hwww.languageofflowers.org

Dot to Dot
The latest graduates from the Glasgow school. Think Edwyn,
think Roddy, think young men in check shirts with guitars, outlandish
notions of high romance, and choruses that go "Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!"
"Classic indie-pop - catchy, danceable tunes, cute boys and Ally's
hilariously awesome dancing" (the word on the street in Glasgow)
www.jointhedots.tk

Silver Springs
Beautifully played avant-noise Americana with a Galaxie
500 influence, featuring Amos and Katie from Tompaulin. "A spot on take
on the melancholy beauty previously modelled by The Silver Jews and
Palace" (Crud)
www.silverspringsmusic.co.uk

Pipas
Lupe and Mark, a boy-girl duo on Matinee Recordings (USA) and
Annika (Spain). Short, bittersweet, with dreamy mac beats and Spanish
guitar. Here in their experimental non-alter ego mode. "Pocket
masterpieces that light up the sky with brittle cracks of spangled
phosphorescence" (Tangents)

― Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 18 August 2005 05:08 (twenty years ago)

yeah the fucking check shirts

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 18 August 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

YAY! it's almost here!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

the person at fortuna pop knows ALL about ally's gingham shirt!!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

it IS the talk of the town

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

i dont know how, but i am on fortuna pop's email list

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

I was planning this, but have had to un-plan due to one of my colleagues buggering off to Cyprus for a week. I do urge people to go. And laugh at "Ally's hilariously awesome dancing".

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

that ass, it sure can wiggle

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

It can. Mandee, do you still have that video clip of it? You should post it here!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Hello. I think I'm coming to this.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

wahay!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

On my printer sits a dusty cover.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

The highlight of my last weekend in London featured Jerry the Nipper and TimH breaking into a rendition of "Upside", accompanied by Lucretia My Reflection on a rather twee and bouncy air guitar. I felt that this was the thread to share that on.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

I do have a video clip, but I took it off my mac homepage - I could re-upload it, at some point!!

kelly has a video of ally bowling!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

I could go and see Ally bowling, I suppose, if I was bothered. Glasgow should go bowling! (wrong thread). I do think a video of Ally's dancing would tempt those who may otherwise have stayed away.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

London: care to dance?

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

You asking?

― Lunding (Tim), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 12:09 (twenty years ago)

No, but I'll try to come along anyway. Can I get a ticket on the door, sir?

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)

What time are you on stage? If any of you are stuck hanging around the venue from about 6:30 and it's all a bit shut then you are all welcome to come and drink tea/ beer at my house which is five minutes walk in a straight line from the Buffalo Bar.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

or we could just go to the pub ;)

i will be there, oh yes. the silver's say that LoF aren't playing no mo': http://www.livejournal.com/users/silvermusic/ and that it is "homescience" instead. i hope this is science from bigbrother, but i bet it's some more indie kids i know...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Yes, the pub is an option, last time you get any kind of hospitality from me Carsmile Steve.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

but i like the pub (that is, the general concept of "teh pub" rather than the famco in particular which, frankly, is a bit of an dive)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

you guys should go for the "lil red" on holloway road (the younger siblings of "BIG RED" further up holloway road!!)

or my favourite pub "the white swan" on upper street

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

ken, mate, you have a shite taste in pubs, sorry, but it's true.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

My favourite pub is the Kentish Drovers in Peckham. One of the best Wetherspoons I've been in.

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

We are supposedly on stage at 9.40pm.

I have put on a gig for H0mesc1ence in Glasgow before. I think they are from Edinburgh. At least, they were. They are OK. We will win. HAHA.

Tickets on the door. Don't bother to buy in advance, you can get in for 3 quid on the night as long as I put your name on a list beforehand.

The Famous Cook will be in The Famous Cock at some point after 5. I look forward to seeing some people there. Hopefully.

I'm asking.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

you're assking

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

Put my name on a list! I like lists.

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

I like the Lil Red. You can always get a seat and they play decent music and have a HUGE pinball machine.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

AssMaster.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

is it like that one in the car advert huge? ie bigger than a car?

maybe we could go there then. what is it with pubs on holloway road having "siblings" at different ends of the road...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

"the white swan" on upper street

Swan upping.

Sally & I bought tix in advance for this - which seems to make us poxy fules or something. Maybe we had faith in The Famous Cook's ass(sha)king skills & their ability to fill venues.

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

Whoa whoa whoooa can I bet on the list too Ally?

I mean, BE on the list.

But if anyone WANTS to take bets, mail me at the above address. I give good odds.

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

I will try and make it to this - can't see any reason why I can't.
Hey people - make it a double-header with FAG : Saturday September 3rd. Fractured and The Shimura Curves on Sat!

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

I think ours will be a flying visit, in a minibus

I suddenly wonder, when I am paying for (part of) it, why I do not get a say, on the schedule!

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

can i also be on this list? (does being on the list make it cheaper?)

holloway road even have themed convenient stores ('sunrise' near h&i and 'sunset' near nags head - shame the road doesn't go from east to west really.. just a little bit diagonally)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

PINBALL! yay! this weekend just gets better and better...

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

i wanna be on the list. not for cheapness, it just seems to be the thing to do. i will be heading along straight from work on friday. not knowing the location of any of these places you crazy london kids mention, shall i just get the tube to highbury&islington? where oh where shall i go? i need big city handholding. thanks.

― michael grant (michael digby grant), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

I had hoped to have won the lottery tonight so I could have come down anyway. It didn't work out. Bah.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

Michael: Walk out of H&I station. It's right there. If my memory is correct. Which it probably isn't.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

Cookie is correct.

I am looking forward to tomorrow night, but I don't want to be on this so-called "list".

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 1 September 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

Can I pay on the door? Are you going to be especially loud? Can I bring my own pop?

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 1 September 2005 07:50 (twenty years ago)

Out of H&I station, turn right, look for dingy staircase leading to bowels of dodgy gooner pub..

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Thursday, 1 September 2005 07:51 (twenty years ago)

I am not going. I am "going away". But I insist on being on this list and getting a t-shirt or a Cd or any other kind of tacky souvenir.

What is your facial hair situation, Ally?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 1 September 2005 08:13 (twenty years ago)

1.45am, Thursday 1st September: shaved.
Next shave: T.B.A.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:10 (twenty years ago)

famous cock is a terrible pub

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:13 (twenty years ago)

the white swan is horrible, but as wetherspoons go it's a diamond.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:18 (twenty years ago)

and we will doubtless need cheap grub. mmmmm. cheap grub.

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:24 (twenty years ago)

shame it's not thursdays so no curry club at the swan...

i dunno whether there are decent cheap veggie grub around there.. seems to be all chicken shops. mmmmmmm. actually i think i just haven't looked that hard BECAUSE there were all these chicken shops.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:29 (twenty years ago)

Hen and Chickens >>>> Big Dog's Cock >>>> White Swan.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:35 (twenty years ago)

i think i'm supposed to arrange accomodation or something. any free beds?

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:40 (twenty years ago)

hen and chickens involve CROSSING THE ROAD though and thus rubbish

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

also TWEE NAME ALERT

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

hen and chickens involve CROSSING THE ROAD though and thus rubbish

man, that works in so many levels...

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:47 (twenty years ago)

You were up late, Ally.

I find Ken's "terrible taste in pubs" quite endearing.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

the famous cock is the first place I met the pinefox

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:58 (twenty years ago)

love at first sight

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 10:00 (twenty years ago)

Both the Famous Cock and The White Swan are God-awful. Most of the kebab places along Holloway Road (and they are numerous) do pretty decent falafel wraps and houmous and things.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 1 September 2005 10:34 (twenty years ago)

the white swan is so cheap, though. and compared to the wetherspoons in my road, it's oh so genteel.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 1 September 2005 10:53 (twenty years ago)

yeah it's cheaper, less crowded, better lit than F.C. and does cheap food on certain days! thus.. winner!

it could just be nostalgia though, i've had good memories there.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 10:56 (twenty years ago)

This sounds fine to me.

Yes, I was up late cooing over pictures of my flatmate when she was younger and sweeter and more innocent than the hardened heartbreaker she is today. It was pleasant.

RJG could not believe the effects of the passage of time, at times, on people.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

I can recall meeting RJG for the first time, when he too looked younger and sweeter and more innocent.

― Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

He never looked like that.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

i think first time i met RJG i was selling him things i think

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

What did you use to look like? Old photos.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

could i be on the list, please? and colette, too.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

My list it overfloweth. But that's OK.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

it'll make you look POPULAR!

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 1 September 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

You could compete with Primal Scream to have the longest guest list of all time!

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Thursday, 1 September 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

can I be on the list too please?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 September 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

you're coming??? oooh. are you on the PARTY BUS too?

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 1 September 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

I don't even like dot to dot

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 September 2005 19:26 (twenty years ago)

I would really like to come, more for the company than the music to be honest, as that really isn't my kind of thing. I think the chances of my feeling up to it are about .1%, so I'll probably miss you all.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 1 September 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

How about if I said you can be on the LIST, Martin?

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Okay, call it 0.11%!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

I should be out for this, provided I'm all packed up. I don't need no steenking guestlist though, capiche (was there a band called Capiche? Is that even how you spell the sodding word?)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

(ok put me on the list as well)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

You waste. You little man.

stop putting yourself down, ally

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:58 (twenty years ago)

Careful or I'll take you off the EVEN MORE SPECIAL LIST.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I wish this thread was more exciting and not all about lists.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

I like it being about lists.

Let's rank the Dr Cock members in order of attractiveness.

1. That one whose name I can't remember
2. Richard

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

I was sent a Dr Dog badge in the post yesterday (by Ben out of Cornershop!). I will bring it along for Cook to wear.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah.

1. That instrumental one they used to start with
2. Another instrumental one
3. The spiky one

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

I don't even remember it's name

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

I don't even remember my name

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

shame it's not thursdays so no curry club at the swan...

I think that when Groucho Marx famously said he'd refuse to join any club that would have me as a member, he may well have had the Wetherspoon's Thursday curry club in mind.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

"I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have someone like you as a member"

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. Oops. Well anyway. Maybe it's better that way.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 1 September 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

No Pipas now, shame.

I am sorry that I won't get to see whatever different things they planned for this, but at least it means that I don't feel under such pressure to rush to N London from work now.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

oh no, is there going to be an emergency replacement band?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:52 (twenty years ago)

What, like (a) Band Aid?

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:57 (twenty years ago)

get one red bull dozers ;)

i am sad there is no pipas, but happy there are only three bands, i don't like this modern way of squeezing more than is necessary into a night...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 2 September 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

my flatmate and i went on a fact-finding mission to the white swan yesterday afternoon. it was lovely, despite the grumpus manager and the fact that we were the only women in place - still, better than our local wetherspoons where we would have been the only ones with teeth.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 2 September 2005 10:38 (twenty years ago)

Has anyone actually decided which pub we're meeting in? Am I right in thinking its the Cock?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 2 September 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

meh.

The Bailey was an option.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 2 September 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

lauren is my new favourite ilxor!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

the bailey is alright actually.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 11:42 (twenty years ago)

p.s. what time do the gigs finish btw - i might be going to a TOWNIE CLUB afterwards! (actually i don't know if it's townie at all but i've been told to 'dress smart' which is ominous)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

Is it Cheekos?

― robster (robster), Friday, 2 September 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)

it's just the garage i reckon ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:08 (twenty years ago)

it's the quays!!! ;)

haha kidding (it's apparently some place in piccadilly circus??? called on anon or something)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:11 (twenty years ago)

Oh if you're going to the Bailey (which gets full quite fast on weekends) tehn go to the Little Red instead. It's only two or so doors down.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

yay love for lil red!

i'm going to have to get wasted before i go to this townie affair i think - drinks there are somehow even more expensive than both the f.cock and the buffalo bars! (maybe a couple of newky b at the holloway before i venture down ;)))

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

haha i like how this thread now sounds as though there's gonna be a holloway road pub crawl on the way to dot to dot (pub to pub)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Bouncing from the Bailey to Teh Lickle Red seeing which is more comfy is MY KIND OF IDEA. Not sure if I will do the gig, but will certainly warm you fellas up in advance with traditional LuhnDun hospitality (which puts the emphasis on the HOSPITAL BIT).

Remember we are drinking in ANNA's MANNA.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

!!!!!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

As our American friends would have it, I'm conflicted over going to this gig or the other one tomorrow night, can't go to both

― Raymond Douglas Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I went to OnAnon for a friend's birthday once. It's a frightening, no trainers, bottled beer only Tiger Tiger type place. Have fun!

― robster (robster), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I have been asked to clarify my appaling LondoN accents. Anna's Manna = Namma's Manor, her area of abode, as opposed to Anna's Manner = Anna's style of drinking = RUIN.

Not that there is anything wrong with a little bit of ruin on a Friday night.

When i went to OnanOn it lived up to its name, being full of wankers.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

this onanon place sounds totally awesome now. so basically a better dressed version of the buffalo bars after 11:30!!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:29 (twenty years ago)

-s

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

I'll try and pop by for the gig but nil else as no pub appears to have been conclusively agreed for pre(/post?)-gig drinks and I need to pop off to a meeting in five minutes.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

Alls I'm going to say is Anna, you better not be too hungover tomorrow.

Now I'm going to go away and sulk.

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

ohnoonanon might be off! :(

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I have been asked to clarify my appaling LondoN accents. Anna's Manna = Namma's Manor, her area of abode, as opposed to Anna's Manner = Anna's style of drinking = RUIN.

I suspect Ken's mind was off on another direction altogether!

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

it works on so many levels (or something)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

I thought Ken was upset because it's sort of his manor too, although my house is nearer.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 2 September 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Ken's Manor is Spoofer's Bar.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:05 (twenty years ago)

Yeesh.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:05 (twenty years ago)

that's not there anymore!! it's changed to something else (i forgot the name)

my manna is the holloway

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

and the big red when i'm feeling like a game of pool

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

I leave work at 5.30, so will be in Holloway area for 6ish. Where will nice people I know be at that point so I can join?

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

(parse that, syntax swine)

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

possibly at The Court on tottenham court road. playing pool. but otherwise at my gaff eating noodles

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

I think The Bailey. Or the Lickle Red.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

yes, i shall be in the vicinity for 6 as well i'd imagine.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

Don't think I can make this now. Apologies. Have a good night, all.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Friday, 2 September 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

I'ma come to the Cock in about 30. If no one is there I'm gonna see if Anna is home and take it from there.

― suzy (suzy), Friday, 2 September 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

Can Dot to Dot please come to Dublin? They can stay at mine.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 2 September 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

Bummer, Michael, I shall miss you. I had a cd-r to give you for your beautiful wife as well. Never mind, that can be posted.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 2 September 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

gaun yerselves, dot to dot. do glasgow proud.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 2 September 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

I'm coming for a drinkie-poo but cannae make the gig

― Raymond Douglas Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 2 September 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

I wish I was there.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 2 September 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I don't. London sounds fucking weird these days.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 2 September 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 2 September 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

i wish cathy was here. it is fucking weird here though.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 22:08 (twenty years ago)

were you posting from your phone, ken?

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 2 September 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

My Dot to Dot cherry has finally been popped. Very entertaining, thanks for the long trip down just to play for us.

Thanks to Alba too, for the gay baboon ass shaking description, which was spot on.

Alba DAB radios are only £28 in Tescos, albeit they are little style vacuums.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 2 September 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

dot to dot were actually rather good. i liked!

i recognised/liked a girl. but she left before i managed to speak to/hit on her:/

violent femmes are rubbish

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 2 September 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

ally c's dancing was phoenomenal

(and the singing too)

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 3 September 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

oh god i was so drunk. apologies to everyone i spoke to, i can only imagine i was talking complete nonsense for mostof the evening. ow.

― toby (tsg20), Saturday, 3 September 2005 07:00 (twenty years ago)

i haven't seen so much atmosphere in the b.bar for a long while

(p.s. i never made it to onanon in the end - too sleepy and home toooooooo close)

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 3 September 2005 11:13 (twenty years ago)

Ally is good to us.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 3 September 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

You are all better to me. Thanks for coming, everyone! We had fun. Except losing that goal just as we got into Glasgow. Arse.

We will return.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 3 September 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Apologies for not making it - next time, maybe.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 3 September 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

I had fun and a lot to drink

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 3 September 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

i have a sore ass
and neck

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 3 September 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

A typical outcome after a night with Cook.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 3 September 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

if only it were just one night...
more like 36 hours straight...
knackered
photos soon

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 3 September 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

photos now

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 3 September 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

thanks, for the absinthe, bed and sunglasses, anna

I felt a lot better, by lunchtime

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 3 September 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

nice to meet matt DC and gareth, even though I barely spoke to either

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 3 September 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

If anyone wants a 1:55 sample of Dot to Dot covering 'Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)' let me know & I'll save it somewhere before deleting the minidisc. Aplogies to the Dot to Dot massive for my poor battery recharging management skills.

― Mooro (Mooro), Sunday, 4 September 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Dreadful organisation is part of our manifesto, David. Go with it.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 4 September 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

I felt a lot better, by lunchtime

-- RJG

Yes. You know how I seemed okay? About an hour after you left, I started throwing up. In an odd way it comforted me. I don't really want to be capable of metabolising more alcohol than you, given that you are much bigger than me.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 5 September 2005 08:25 (twenty years ago)

Mooro could I be 'hooked up' with that 'Opportunities' cover at some point? Gracias!

Apologies to Ally for saying I would go and then not doing so. This was due to the wrong amount of stuff in my house I had to pack up (i.e. more than I thought).

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 5 September 2005 08:33 (twenty years ago)

Why couldn't Michael go? I'm worried now.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

I have looked at the photos.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

did they make you cry?

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)
