try glasgow more

Hello people, some of us are going to see My Bloody Valentine on the 3rd of July, there might even be some out-of-towners around. Shall we go to the pub?

oh, sound, are you going on the 3rd? i thought you were one of the kool kids who'd bought their tickets quickly and were going to the first night.

anyway, yeh, i suggested this on the MBV thread too, and it's a good idea.

Monkeys will be knocking around Glasgow for that whole entire weekend, if peeps want to do anything.

yes!

Well, Ailsa and Madchen both have my number, and I will hopefully see you on the Thursday night, so we can make some kind of ear-soothing plan for later in the weekend. Hooray!

Excellent. I already have permanent tinnitus, so won't be going to MBV, but a MonkeyFAP would be great.

i can't post it on the appropriate thread without ruining the flow, but ailsa: i was hoping you'd do exactly that with the "post in the style of the poster above you thing". perfect :)

it was too good an opportunity to miss!

When did you move to Shotts?

we had that in the diary a week ago :p

Right, peeps, can we get some drinking plans organised for Thursday if we're going to. I should be around from 5-ish. My vote = NOT MONO (will be heaving pre-gig, would have thought)

You will be heaving pre-gig! Nice one! I have a cold and my ears are a bit blocked up so I might not be able to hear anything but nonetheless I will probably be going on Wednesday, so I guess will miss you lot.

bah, that's not what I meant and you know it :-)

I suspect you will still be able to hear them even with blocked ears. Anyone know about the support yet for Thursday, you Wednesday mob are getting the Pastels apparently.

though the beer in Mono is quite like to make me heave, bleurgh.

just name a place and i shall be there!

(i need to hook up with three other dudes too, so make sure it's not a totally obscure and impossible-to-find place. i can't think of anywhere better than mono, but hey.)

The Pastels! Fucking superb! What time do they end?

The Pastels never end.

Yeah you might be right there. Well as long as they're carrying on somewhere I'm not.

hey, it never occurred to me to post here!

anyone need two standing tickets for mbv at barrowlands on thursday?

i can't go anymore, i'm in london but can next-day-deliver - at my expense - if you can stump up face value (22.50 each) or thereabouts.

i just don't want them to be wasted, especially since i saw mbv at the roundhouse last week and am still reeling with the wonder of it :-(

OK, so what is the plan for tomorrow? I'm not going to the gig, but wouldn't mind a drink after work.

http://www.mybloodyvalentine.net/smf/index.php?topic=655.60 seems to be good for finding out who is support

oh no it's le volume courbe on thursday. I'm coming in late then.

I believe there are tentative plans afoot for The Red Lizard on the corner of Bell Street and Albion Street at after-work o'clock.

Last EVER NPL on the 25th this month!

WAHT?

finally

I haven't been for about three years and I can't say I've missed it tbh. I'm just not the kind of gal who wells up whenever I hear Almost Prayed.

I will be at the Red Lizard though!

red lizard? i'll be there. won't be much before 7, mind. this not-working-full-time lark seems to make enormous demands on my time!

I haven't been to NPL for ages, but it's nice to know its there for all your Altered Images and Mark E Smith needs, if you have such things. Perhaps we're all too old now. I shall be red and lizardy though (this plan is subject to minor fluctuation depending on seating and eating requirements, but we won't be far away and most glasgow peeps have my mobile no and its on my facebook page if you don't and you can't find us and you're my friend)

heheheh. text us if you've moved on somewhere and i haven't turned up!

that was tremendous. low ceilinged venues are where it's at, if you want to channel noise into your brain. the pastels sweet blends were pretty great too.

i am psyched to fuck about this.

wtf

i am psyched to fuck about this.

Really? Oh, I thought you were talkign about the final NPL.

My left ear feels kind of bruised and I can't hear properly. I don't know if this was the volume or sticking the earplug too far into my lughole.

Erm you guys, does anyone know anyone with spares for tonight? SOMEONE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS has just looked at our tickets and OMG they are for YESTERDAY! HELP!

Yikes. Where did Charlie's end up?

Don't know, but they have gone. I'm going to be off the internet in about half an hour, can you or grimly or someone keep checking for me and let me know via the magick of phone? There are three of us going, at least I'M not the one who flew over to go to the gig without checking which date we were going on....

(I've posted this on the ILM MBV thread as well)

If i hear anything i'll text grimly and ask him to text you (no facebook or anything to get your no)

Cheers. There are three of us, we'll take anything going.

ailsa dude on the MBV forum is selling 3 tix on ebay. he says you can pay cash to him at gig if you dont wanna paypal.
His phone number is there if you wanna make sure its legit

ive texted grimly to let you know

... and i've just texted ailsa! i've given her the dude's number, too, so she can ring him if she wants.

not much more we can do, i guess :/

ok!

It's started pissing down here. I dont wanna have to wear a coat, it's too warm! Argh

i've just been wandering around the city centre getting soaked. as soon as i got home, it stopped raining. fuxxake.

The Pastels are support tonight. Onstage at 7.45pm.
MBV are onstage 9pm (approx) and off at 11.
