try glasgow more

Chris Corsano, Heather Leigh Murray Duo, RM Hubbert and Burnt Altar, Sat 28 Feb 7:30pm, Stereo, Glasgow, 0141 222 2254 £5

- saw corsano/murray at the CCA a cpl of months back and they were awesomely awesome, dunno the other two acts on the bill

my clubbing pal who used to run the 'open' nights up here is also taking me to see monolake at the sub club on friday 6th, wld love to score some smarties for that

FAP plan disintegrated, didn't it? Shall we try again? I'm not organising, like.

What's Heather's contribution to the duo? Is Corsano on straight-up drumming?

yeah, last time round corsano was full on improv attack and heather was screamy guitaring

hi, glasgow

hi nabisco.

ok ailsa, i'll bite! friday the 6th of february at stereo.

(i don't know when simon, nick et al work nights, just throwing that out there)

I think I'm OK for the 6th March. Might need a time machine for the 6th of February though...

:D

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.

my desire to see corsano is massively outweighed by my desire to not-see david keenan or hlm.

There is that.

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).

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.

Sorry - am cooking for friends tomorrow night.

i just stood on my own for 90 minutes then fucked off. thanks.

shite, i totally forgot :-(

sorry, jed. Jesus, Glasgow deserves its reputation for being pish at fapping.

:-( 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?

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.

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.

Visitors from elsewhere or restaurant bookings seems to be the key to successful previous attempts.

(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.

hello! yes, good idea.

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)

Oh OK. Are you going to the zoo?

No, we are going to see Cabaret at the Playhouse.

Though zoo would be good as well.

hey folks any of you about today (sunday) afternoon for a roast and a pint perhaps??

im in toon today!!

text me, anyhow, my phone is lacking juice but it is full of textability

ooh seven eight five tae three ooh seven six one ooh

Nads. No Ken do, I'm afraid.

I'm at the football this afternoon, but could give you a shout on the way back, maybe, if you're still around.

yeah let me know later.. what time does footie finish? going to have dinner with swedish people later on but i dunno when that will be yet!

I'm free! But still in my PJs. I'll text you.

I'm in Edinburgh you daft twat.

(Ken, that is)

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 ...

I will be in Glasgow the first week of August -probably around on 2nd or 3rd for a FAP

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:

http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/eurotour.html

oh and a Dr. C FAP in August would be sweet!

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.

I'm up for a drink. i didn't know nick had moved away from glasgow!?

Sounds cool

I mean a drink, not Nick having moved away.

Aye, without great fanfare he headed off down south.

As a result of Nick's leaving do, I am shifting my statutory NOT MONO stance to be NOT 13th NOTE. Actually, I was in Mono for the first time in aeons the other day, and they appear to serve actual real Guinness now (except I wasn't drinking) so I might even agree to go back.

Dr C, that is the first weekend of my summer holiday! Hopefully we won't have gone anywhere that early, and we can go drink booze.

Hurrah! What was so bad about the Note, then? Last time I was in there it was a bit shit, but that was aeons ago.

Allan said it was metal, like that was a bad thing!
