And if you know me then I've probably wibbled at you about it all ready, but I'm currently that jittery about it that it can't really hurt to do it again. Even though there's about five people on this board in Leeds, and three of them are DJ'ing at it. But hey-ho. It will be fun. Honest.

you should play a song by each of those bands, in the order they're listed. 'Freebird' is perfect for chucking out time.

Note: we may not play John Cena, as I've now heard the album, and it's shit.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Tscch. This is what happens when we make lists after you've had small amounts of alcohol.

Right, now to go and flyer Futureheads fans and try not to faint from nerves eeeek. If you're in the area, do please head along. Our disco needs YOU, etc.

GOOD LUCK Y'ALL!

Will DJ Martian be along to heckle?

Psst Alex, get onto MSN as there is a track I want from you so I can play it at my indie disco.

WBS - I think I saw you crossing the Otley Road, outside the Original Oak at about 5:00 this evening. This is judging only by a vague memory of your photo somewhere on here. Anyway, I should have said hello, but feared doing so lest you think me a mentalist. I may come to your disco after work tomorrow if I can garner a posse to accompany me.

Mr Faithless - this is quite plausible.

And it's at this point that I realise I should have put 'Wednesday' in the thread title rather than 'tomorrow'. Oh dear.

I'm not really sure how it went, to be honest, beyond us winding up £6 down on the door. They let us stay till 2, we got people dancing... I dunno. I think I might have set my hopes rather too high for turnout during exam period etc. 22 through the door on a Wednesday night is probably quite decent, considering.

But fuck it, they danced to The Cardigans, the people there seemed to pretty much enjoy themselves, and we're definitely thinking of doing it again. I am anyway.

we had an autopsy...

22 for a first night, given that your flyer's quite specific, is OK. The last time I did my thing we had 10, which was during exams as well. But that was including us and the barstaff. And a bit depressing.

Plus, y'know, dancing's always a good sign.
