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!
― accentmonkey, Monday, 23 June 2008 12:00 (fifteen years ago) link
Excellent. I already have permanent tinnitus, so won't be going to MBV, but a MonkeyFAP would be great.
― Madchen, Monday, 23 June 2008 13:05 (fifteen years ago) link
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 :)

When did you move to Shotts?
― Alba, Saturday, 28 June 2008 12:30 (fifteen years ago) link
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)
― ailsa, Monday, 30 June 2008 20:55 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Keith, Monday, 30 June 2008 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― ailsa, Monday, 30 June 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link
though the beer in Mono is quite like to make me heave, bleurgh.
just name a place and i shall be there!
― grimly fiendish, Monday, 30 June 2008 21:54 (fifteen years ago) link
(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.)
― grimly fiendish, Monday, 30 June 2008 21:55 (fifteen years ago) link
The Pastels! Fucking superb! What time do they end?
― Keith, Monday, 30 June 2008 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link
The Pastels never end.
― jed_, Monday, 30 June 2008 22:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah you might be right there. Well as long as they're carrying on somewhere I'm not.
― Keith, Monday, 30 June 2008 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link
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 :-(
― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 09:59 (fifteen years ago) link
OK, so what is the plan for tomorrow? I'm not going to the gig, but wouldn't mind a drink after work.
― Madchen, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 16:32 (fifteen years ago) link
http://www.mybloodyvalentine.net/smf/index.php?topic=655.60 seems to be good for finding out who is support
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
oh no it's le volume courbe on thursday. I'm coming in late then.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 17:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Last EVER NPL on the 25th this month!
― JohnFoxxsJuno, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link
WAHT?
― ailsa, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 20:25 (fifteen years ago) link
finally
― czn, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Madchen, Thursday, 3 July 2008 08:29 (fifteen years ago) link
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!
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 3 July 2008 10:52 (fifteen years ago) link
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)
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 July 2008 11:01 (fifteen years ago) link
heheheh. text us if you've moved on somewhere and i haven't turned up!
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 3 July 2008 11:02 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― schlump, Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:05 (fifteen years ago) link
i am psyched to fuck about this.
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:07 (fifteen years ago) link
wtf
― conrad, Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:39 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Alba, Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:43 (fifteen years ago) link
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!
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Yikes. Where did Charlie's end up?
― Alba, Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:57 (fifteen years ago) link
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....
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 July 2008 13:00 (fifteen years ago) link
(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)
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 July 2008 13:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Cheers. There are three of us, we'll take anything going.
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:12 (fifteen years ago) link
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 http://www.mybloodyvalentine.net/smf/index.php?topic=953.0
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link
ive texted grimly to let you know
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link
... 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 :/
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:27 (fifteen years ago) link
ok!
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:28 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:34 (fifteen years ago) link
The Pastels are support tonight. Onstage at 7.45pm. MBV are onstage 9pm (approx) and off at 11. (I phoned up the barras to ask)
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:40 (fifteen years ago) link
That's a much longer set then, they were on at 9 and off at 10.30 in London.
― aldo, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:42 (fifteen years ago) link
well i wont be surprised if they dont come on at 9
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 3 July 2008 14:42 (fifteen years ago) link
my mate who saw them last night said they came on about 9.15 and were off 10.45, so i think it's the same kind of set and the barras don't do minutes :)
