try glasgow more

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.
(I phoned up the barras to ask)

That's a much longer set then, they were on at 9 and off at 10.30 in London.

well i wont be surprised if they dont come on at 9

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 :)

ailsa says it looks like they might be sorted, and to tell you thanks, herman :)

well at least that means i dont need to rush out at the end and can just take my time. Getting picked up at 11.
I usually leave by the fire exit at the back right of the hall if they still allow that. Not been to the barras in years.
And that's great if they got the tix.

SOMEONE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS has just looked at our tickets and OMG they are for YESTERDAY!

i've done this. with a plane ticket. (glad all's - apparently - sorted now!)

Aw man it's thunder and lightning here now with unbelievably heavy rain.

If anyones still looking for tix, there'll likely be loads going on the door. About 20 people selling last night as we went in. Weren't even going for free...anyone say cReDiT cRuNcH

Aye, we got sorted, cheers Herman :-)

You're welcome!

if anyone cares, momus seems to be playing stereo on the 27th. i can't make it -- will be at a wedding -- but thought i'd mention it.

i like the fact there's one confirmed attendee on last.fm ... which is momus himself.

I'm going to Glasgow...but only for one night! I'm going to be hanging out at Optimo on the 27th.

fyi, glasgow: dan and his gf are wonderful people.

i encouraged him to post on this thread, and now i feel like a mother who has pushed her kid into the sandbox.

Cpl of gigs, glasppl

Anyone got plans for Doors Open? Not much is grabbing my attention, tbh.
http://www.glasgowdoorsopenday.com/buildings/

Nothing jumping out at me, but if anyone cares to suggest something, I might be amenable to coming along. I shall be in town anyway on Saturday as I'm lunching with my mum, so would be nice to catch up with folks since I've been in credit-crunch-induced hibernation for what seems like forever.

That's one of ours, I think, but I can't quite figure out a way to claim going up to Glasgow to look at pretty buildings as a business expense. yet.

Stet and I might go to Traffic Control Central and start a fight with the person responsible for traffic lights.

Hello, it's me.

Mrmonkey and I will be trying Glasgow more at the end of January, if anyone is about. We have a party to go to on the 31at, but will be around for a few days if people want to hang out.

I should be available for some hanging out, if required.

Yup, me too.

This would be good. Count me in.

I would like to come along to this, if I can - don't think I've seen any Glasgow ILXors since that drink-up before the Carter gig

Top! Be excellent to see you.

Yes, Carter was A YEAR AGO. Who says Glasgow doesn't FAP, eh?

Top! Be excellent to see you.

You too. There was something I needed to have a big argument with you about. I can't remember what it was, but I've written it down, I'm sure.

Oh, Dead Set, that was it. Yes. Have your points on index cards for that weekend, please.
