try glasgow more

i am 'down south' until the 3rd jan :-(

I'm off work until the 5th, so I could probably make it to a Festive FAP.

I am in glasgow area between Christmas and Hogmanay.

I'll be back on the 27th. Does anyone fancy larging it with me at that FAC 51 thing?

I've considered it, but I fear it will be absolutely appalling :/

My plan would be to get so drunk it doesn't matter.

I am not sure what between Xmas and New Year plans are yet, but if I'm around, would be up for fappage. I'm in up in Inverness for Christmas, but am not sure if we're staying up for New Year or not. So I vote for Grimly's after-Hogmanay plan as well!

Was that not last Sat? Is there another? Xp

It got moved, according to a poster I saw somewhere yesterday.

Yeh, it was meant to be last Saturday. I was quite pleased: I was away, so couldn't have gone, and didn't need to feel guilty about betraying the Spirit of Wilson.

To be honest, though, I think the Spirit of Wilson would think the whole thing was gonna suck dick. I mean, it'll be full of ageing professional northerners girning about people playing the wrong mixes (ie cunts exactly like me).

I had an early night instead, and was up with the lark yesterday to do a mountain of washing. This is, perhaps, the very definition of old.

A mate just rang me and asked where (other than the Apple Store) I'd go to get an iBook repaired in Glasgow. Good question: the Apple Store's kind of wiped out a lot of the competition.

So: has anyone got any computer-repair recommendations to share? (Personally, I think he should just take it to the Apple Store, but hey.)

is the shop at the whiteinch end of dumbarton road closed?

Didn't know about that one ... hmm, is that the one Stet referred to as being "in Maryhill", I wonder? Any idea what it was called?

"in maryhill" o_O

um, I can't remember its name sorry : /

I think it was called justmac but it appears the dumbarton rd. store closed in 2006

however http://www.justmac.co.uk/ : D

Maybe Stet said "in Clydebank" and this is getting twisted through all manner of "yeh, someone said X said Y said Z" nonsense. Or it could be me, being a cock. Either way: Stet appears to be OTM, as indeed do you. Thanks.

I did say in Clydebank, you chod.

Aye, well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day <ducks>

PAIN JERK + EMERALDS @ the CCA on Tuesday 20th Jan

DAVID GRUBBS @ Mono on Wednesday 21st Jan

am also going to see THE MONKS documentary @ the GFT on Sunday 25th Jan 7.40pm

I'll be at the CCA on Tuesday night. Down front taking photos, probably wearing a scruffy blue cycling jacket & carrying a khaki messenger bag. Say hello!

I was there, precisely fitting my above description. No one said hello. :-(

See? Glaswegians. Unfriendly as f***.

to see the japanese noise band?

No offence, Krakow: much as I would have been interested to meet you and find out what Pain Jerk + Emeralds sound like, it clashed with something quite interesting on telly.

sorry krakow, i have not been v. well for the last couple of days so i didn't make it along to pain jerk (and i'm not going to grubbsy tonight) - wld love to hear a report, esp. gutted to have missed emeralds

will def. be going to instal, so maybe an ilx-related hookup then?

talking of instal, there is a slightly more substantial line-up given in the latest wire - herman nitsch, ultra-red, sachiko m & otomo yoshihide, joan la barbara, radu malfatti & klaus filip, phil minton's 100 member feral choir, jerome noetinger & jean philipp gross, tetsuo kogawa, rolf julius

Ah, if no-one was there, then fair enough, all is cool. I thought there were secret ilxors hiding in the shadows ignoring me.

Yeah. I'm up for Instal.

who's the george of george square? internet is no help on this one.

some king?

ok, some king. thanks bones.

Hello Glasgow. Was in the pub with some Glasgow types last night, and thought it might be a good idea to try and do some more drinking. So, erm, should we try to do some drinking in the same place at the same time one day?

^ this.

After last night I don't think I want to touch alcohol ever again.

Ach, it was fun. But I might have to detox for a few weeks before doing it again :-)

You pair of lightweights.

I am Out of Practice - first proper actual drinking session of 2009, that. Also had shared a bottle of wine over dinner before even getting to pub.

^that.

anyone got a grudge against stereo? what about this coming weekend?

no grudge against Stereo, they do real beer, none of yr weird Sam Smiths shite - also nearer train station than Mono Seats are a bit wobbly and it has a tendency to be a bit busy though.

^ insert full stop between Mono and Seats.

true but if you get the sofa you are set for the night.

also, the staff are decent and some are actually pleasant! it's hard to believe it's a mono offshoot.

seats are from ikea is why they're wobbly.

the food is pretty dece too
