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?― ailsa, Sunday, 1 February 2009 10:11 (Yesterday) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink^ this.― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 1 February 2009 12:19 (Yesterday) Bookmark

^that.
anyone got a grudge against stereo? what about this coming weekend?
― jed_, Monday, 2 February 2009 00:27 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― ailsa, Monday, 2 February 2009 00:31 (fifteen years ago) link
^ 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.
― jed_, Monday, 2 February 2009 00:35 (fifteen years ago) link
the food is pretty dece too

FAP plan disintegrated, didn't it? Shall we try again? I'm not organising, like.
― ailsa, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:30 (fifteen years ago) link
What's Heather's contribution to the duo? Is Corsano on straight-up drumming?
― krakow, Friday, 27 February 2009 07:52 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, last time round corsano was full on improv attack and heather was screamy guitaring
― Ward Fowler, Friday, 27 February 2009 20:41 (fifteen years ago) link
hi, glasgow
― nabisco, Friday, 27 February 2009 20:45 (fifteen years ago) link
hi nabisco.
ok ailsa, i'll bite! friday the 6th of february at stereo.
― jed_, Friday, 27 February 2009 20:47 (fifteen years ago) link
(i don't know when simon, nick et al work nights, just throwing that out there)
― jed_, Friday, 27 February 2009 20:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I'm OK for the 6th March. Might need a time machine for the 6th of February though...
― ailsa, Saturday, 28 February 2009 09:31 (fifteen years ago) link
:D
― jed_, Saturday, 28 February 2009 14:18 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm going to take a miss on tonight. As much as I'd love to see Corsano, I just have too much other stuff to do, or at least prevaricate over.
― krakow, Saturday, 28 February 2009 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link
my desire to see corsano is massively outweighed by my desire to not-see david keenan or hlm.
― jed_, Saturday, 28 February 2009 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
There is that.
― krakow, Saturday, 28 February 2009 21:16 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think tomorrow night is any good at all for me. Sorry. I assume I'll be stuck at work until late.
If anyone wants to see me make a twat of myself, I'm chairing the Julian Baggini/Complaint session at Aye Write! on Saturday (Mitchell Library, 4.30pm).
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Tomorrow night at the CCA: Eric Carbonara, Ben Reynolds & The One Ensemble. I'll be there, if anyone fancies it, should be a good night.
― krakow, Thursday, 5 March 2009 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link
Sorry - am cooking for friends tomorrow night.
― Alba, Thursday, 5 March 2009 20:05 (fifteen years ago) link
i just stood on my own for 90 minutes then fucked off. thanks.
― jed_, Friday, 6 March 2009 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link
shite, i totally forgot :-(
sorry, jed. Jesus, Glasgow deserves its reputation for being pish at fapping.
― ailsa, Friday, 6 March 2009 22:49 (fifteen years ago) link
:-( sorry ailsa, i was joking, i didn't mean to give you a guilt trip. shit joke, i know, but we should all meet up for real. i know it's hard to organise because several of the glasgow people work nights etc.
i wonder if ward f. is getting mad for it at the sub club tonight?
― jed_, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Ha, no, I had vague plans to meet a mate tonight and was seriously going to swing by stereo just in case anyone else showed, but the plans got nixed so I just scooted off homewards without remembering why I'd said stereo in the first place :-)
It was a general sorry for not being more specific earlier in the week, to be honest. We really are shite at this.
― ailsa, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:32 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, we are. i've been totally shite in the past and only showed up at one fap so far but i think it needs to happen soon.
― jed_, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Visitors from elsewhere or restaurant bookings seems to be the key to successful previous attempts.
― ailsa, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:44 (fifteen years ago) link
(I don't even want to think about how many grammatical errors I made there)
I'll pop across and make you meet up if you like.
― Keith, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link
hello! yes, good idea.
― jed_, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:50 (fifteen years ago) link
I heartily endorse a plan for Keith-FAP
(do not make it the 29th March, because several of the people you know in Glasgow will be in Edinburgh, which I will discuss with you at some point elsewhere)
― ailsa, Friday, 6 March 2009 23:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh OK. Are you going to the zoo?
― Keith, Saturday, 7 March 2009 00:00 (fifteen years ago) link
No, we are going to see Cabaret at the Playhouse.
― ailsa, Saturday, 7 March 2009 00:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Though zoo would be good as well.

FAPpery: a modest proposal
Obviously, this will take months to organise, so let's start now and try to time it with the Scottish summer ...
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 12:37 (fifteen years ago) link
I will be in Glasgow the first week of August -probably around on 2nd or 3rd for a FAP
― Dr.C, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah grimly, it would indeed be good to catch up w/ you and other glasilxors, tho i'm out of town quite a bit in May/June - still want to meet Jed and cozwn, and I'm pretty sure i've seen krakow taking pics at things like instal
think this cld be quite a special gig, btw:

oh and a Dr. C FAP in August would be sweet!
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 12:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Nice one, WF: that'd be superb. I'm away at the end of May as well ... which means I'm going to miss that rather-fantastic-sounding Sublime Frequencies thing, as well as some stuff I'd have liked to see at the Perth Festival ... but let's keep checking in here and see if we can sort something out.
Dr C: rocking! Have pencilled that into my diary.
