is henry still coming?

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, yes, that's Saturday as well, isn't it? (I will be in a pub watching the football, as I imagine Enrique would like to be)

ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll be popping along to McSorleys tomorrow for a friend's birthday (money permitting, fuck knows what the dole are doing) so I'll pop upstairs to see y'all at some point.

Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought you had a job again? I can't keep up.

ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I had forgotten people were visiting!

RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Would it be controversial if we started a new thread titled in such a way that people would be aware that people are visiting?

ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

it certainly seems like it, yes

RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

i will be trying glasgow, in august

charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Start a thread!

ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Me and Mrs the Nipper will be arriving in Glasgow on Friday afternoon at the Bothwell St Holiday Inn. Our guts will be shrieking for pints if anyone is around Friday eve...

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Ailsa - I do have a job but pay is a week in arrears, so I get my first weeks wages on Friday.
The problem is the dole STILL haven't paid me for a claim beginning on June 12. I'm phoning them tomorrow and demanding a full explanation. Grr!

Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

i shall hoy along to mcsorley's tomorrow night at about 10.30ish.

friday i can't do. sorry, JtN, it would have been good to meet you.

saturday is up in the air and i've no bloody idea what i'll be up to, where i'll be or who i'll be with. however, i'd like to meet (h)enr(y)que and will aim to do so.

[waits for someone else to make plans, as usual]

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:27 (seventeen years ago) link

will JtN & mrs & others be up for drinks on saturday since enrique will be here?

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no plans, for Saturday.

stet (stet), Thursday, 29 June 2006 00:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd prefer Saturday, but could do Friday if that was only chance of Nipper-FAP.

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 29 June 2006 05:44 (seventeen years ago) link

My plans for Saturday night will involve drink, whatever happens.

Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm working till 10 or so on both Friday and Saturday. I think I might be going with cozen to see Ellen Allien at the Sub Club on Friday. Late Saturday and all day Sunday I'm anyone's.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Cor!

Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Ailsa asked me to post this about tonight as she's at work:

A quick shufty through the Metro shows that, although Dahlin's Sounds of Sweden night sounds aces, it also costs £4 to get in. Now I don't want to deny her the chance to make a quick buck at ILX's expense, but this may deter the casually-dropping-in punter (Grimly? anyone else?). Aldo concurs. Should we make an alternative plan? Perhaps the Crystal Palace so that Dahlin can nip over the road and join in the merriment when hott Swedish boys get too much? (I *know* it's a Weatherspoons, but I can't really be bothered thinking of anywhere else right now).

Debate amongst yourselves, and when a pub decision is reached an email to (my first name).(my last name)@gmail would be a good thing. Or a text. I can let Aldo know if he hasn't checked in himself - snce he's left this in my allegedly capable hands, I'm guessing maybe he won't?

Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't all rush at once folks! I'm guessing me and Aldo will maybe go to the Crystal Palace and try and get a seat looking out at MacSorleys to grab any random passers-by (well, maybe not that random...). Or else we'll just be in MacSorleys anyway.

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh do you reckon there will be tickets on the door for Ellen Allien?

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 29 June 2006 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I'd have thought so. I don't have an advance one anyway. Fancy it then?

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 29 June 2006 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Absolutely, as long as we're not too knackered by midnight.

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 29 June 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

last weekend I opened a book and out fell an old flyer for Cleopatra's

90p vodka

jed_ (jed), Thursday, 29 June 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Ally C dropped by McSorley's earlier this evening to inform me y'all were hiding out in the Crystal Palace. Well, fair enough, the Swedish bands weren't amazing, but you could have heard my amazing story about how I received a phonecall from the legendary Kim Fowley this morning...

- awaits amazed posts expectently... ;)

Stew (stew s), Thursday, 29 June 2006 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

You got a call from Kim Fowley?!

blow?

jed_ (jed), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmm. Me and Neil are now thinking about going to the West End somewhere tomorrow to watch the football and laze about and drink and stuff. Enrique, I'll email you my mobile number. Will probably be out most of tomorrow so can't check email, but get in touch via mobile. But surely someone somewhere somehow will be in touch with some people who, between us, have all the other people's phone numbers. Yes?

GF, how teh fuck were you drunk? You didn't get to the pub until FIVE HOURS after me. I got up for work still drunk this morning. Yay me.

Top night, btw, cheers dudes. Dahlin, I did try to make people go over to SOS, even for a wee bit. Madchen felt inappropriately dressed. Sorry :-(

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

cozen and i have henry's and i take it cozen has everyone's? see you the morra! :)

jed_ (jed), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Cozen probably doesn't have my number any more, since I've changed it fairly recently. However, Ally C & Madchen (amongst others) have it, so, yeah, stuff will happen. Hey! We're not so shit at this fun-organising!

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone Pop Leaguing it tonight? I am!

Kim Fowley - ok, a friend who works for the SCottish Music Centre had been in contact with him and sent him a Beard. This was a couple of months ago. Then out of the blue I answer my phone and it's like "Hi this is Kim Fowley!"
He sounded me out about Glasgow music and stuff. We had a nice chat. He referred to himself in the third person a number of times as only a true star can and reeled off his record sales like that. What a guy!
He's coming over later in the year and was like, "Maybe we can go to Mono and watch some rock n roll bands!" Yeah!

Stew (stew s), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought about Pop League, but last night sort of killed me. Then I went out for a couple of pints to watch the football after work today and have just realised that I'm completely and utterly knackered. So quiet night in to get ready for tomorrow.

(Stew, we did wave at you out of Crystal Palace window. Also, Kim Fowley-FAP!)

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 June 2006 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah,sorry I never bother to look into pubs! Was I eating a minging bag of chips?

Stew (stew s), Friday, 30 June 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

You were striding purposefully in, maybe about 9/9.30-ish? We waved at lots of people, then decided this was a shit policy because no-one looks into random other pubs and started delegating me into running across the road to talk to people.

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 June 2006 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Madchen felt inappropriately dressed.

I agreed with he, in a completely non-sexist manner, I seem to recall.

Cheers glasgow, you were aces, as ever.

I won't mention blue prawns (except to remind journos that they were offended by it, and they should remember what they threatened to do).

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 30 June 2006 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

heard about you

RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 June 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

We shall meet some day, I am sure.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 30 June 2006 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link
