Also asked on ILM: anybody in London want to have a beer tonight? Post responses and we'll do something, my tour is finally over and I'm finally going to drink a pint. Or maybe even two.

I am potentially up for this! Central London, I take it?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Saturday, 22 February 2003 18:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Lancaster Gate - is that Central? the Columbia Hotel, anyhow

Just saw Kate's post on ILM - dunno if I am up for clubbing, but a few pints in central London... let's say the Angel on St Giles High St near Tottenham Court Road or Leicester Sq tubes around 8.30ish?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Saturday, 22 February 2003 18:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Of course, the central line being out of action makes Lancaster Gate
-> TCR more problematic than usual.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Saturday, 22 February 2003 18:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

somebody tell me what exactly to say to the cab driver & I am THERE

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 22 February 2003 18:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

assuming of course that Lancaster Gate -> St Giles High Street isn't equivalent to, like, Nepal -> Indiana or summat

Argh, Lancaster Gate is probably quite far to Islington, esp. with no Central Line coz Lancaster Gate is West and the gig is one stop North of Kings Cross. You might be better doing the FAP at the Angel, but it's up to you, I can't change my plans coz I'm on at 8. If you do come up to Buff Bars, I'll be the girl DJ with the blonde ponytails wearing brown suede.

Cab fare to St Giles High St probably no more than a fiver?

...will I hope give you a map of the locale. Cab driver should know St Giles High St, pretty much opposite the 12 bar club (also ye ancient home of the Sex Pistols and Tin Pan Alley).

I think we should also stop by Kate's gig and pester her to play that one Ice Cube song where he keeps sayin' "I push rhymes like weight" but we'll work that out from the Angel, I'm going to go get a cab now

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 22 February 2003 19:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh wait it's only seven so not getting cab quite yet - anyhow see you and anybody else who's up for it at the Angel at 8:30

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 22 February 2003 19:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ok, but I probably won't be there til 8.15 or so! I will be wearing my Sherlock Holmes Pendleton overcoat - impossible to miss!

I'm the guy whose hair has gone completely to seed since I have all this oh-no-am-I-gonna-get-sick paranoia when touring and refuse to cut my hair during tour, owing to the erroneous belief that getting a haircut can lead directly to A TERRIBLY DEADLY FLU VIRUS THAT WILL TORPEDO MY CHANCES OF GETTING ON TOP OF THE POPS

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 22 February 2003 19:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

also I wear a black London Fog coat because I am a secret goth

oh fuck - just saw this now having got home from shit evening in a covent garden bar, during which i continually considered escaping to the angel (it being the only half-decent covent garden-ish place i know). next time...

I'm home now. The Steves (Gullick and Chick) took over the decks and it went all boyrock after me getting to play hours of bubblegum. Woo! Had to leave, sleep deprivation of last night catching up on me.

I'm so proud... I played Horton's band and it was the only time all night that someone actually came up to me and said "That was INCREDIBLE!!! What was that? I NEED that record!" I am pathetic, but that makes me so pleased cause I just start gushing "yay, Horton!" I'm just proud to know him at moments like that. :-)

i realised something on the bus home — for i changed my mind mercurialism (and also gemini fans) and thus had top gab-time w. darn1e11e and the nipster — which is that being drunk i. sets you free but ii. renders you stupid

it is just possible others were here b4 me

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 23 February 2003 01:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

being rendered stupid=being set free surely?

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 February 2003 01:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

yes except unless the only book you have to read on the bus = philosophical investigations by wittgenstein in which case less so

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 23 February 2003 01:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've been out since this afternoon, so couldn't make this, unfortunately.

Mark S, it has taken you this long to discover what mankind has known about BOOZE for 10,000 years or more?

Here's to booze, the cause of, and the solution to ALL OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS!!!

(I just feel bad and responsible coz I started H***** drinking again on Friday.)

― kate, Sunday, 23 February 2003 09:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Did Jerry get pissed? And if so, did he look like this?

I should have gone (had I known in time). I could have given Mr Darn1elle a tape of Herman Dune covering The B*st Ev*r D*ath M*tal Band In D*nton.
