have you still not managed it? dude are you people glaswegians are something?

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 6 March 2003 07:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I mean, for chrissakes, this is Melbourne!

...even though I'm not quite sure what I mean by that.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 6 March 2003 07:14 (twenty-three years ago)

i tried and failed. if you can pull it together you're a better man than i

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 6 March 2003 07:54 (twenty-three years ago)

at last count there's at least eight or nine of us.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 6 March 2003 08:07 (twenty-three years ago)

mikey bidness! what are you suddenly doing here again?

― minna (minna), Thursday, 6 March 2003 09:30 (twenty-three years ago)

we are kind of glaswegian, yes
and we're running out of balmy socialising nights!

― minna (minna), Thursday, 6 March 2003 09:58 (twenty-three years ago)

it hailed on sunday

― minna (minna), Thursday, 6 March 2003 10:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you have to take nalini out!

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 6 March 2003 10:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I HAVE DECIDED TO DELURK, PUNY MI-NNA! I WILL RULE THIS BOARD A THOUSAND YEARS AND ALL SHALL CRY AND DESPAIR AND ABUSE THEMSELVES WITH THE AID OF A K-MART CATALOGUE!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 6 March 2003 10:20 (twenty-three years ago)

No, but seriously, how many of you Melbournites could be co-erced into causing a ruckus one of these weekends?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 6 March 2003 10:23 (twenty-three years ago)

hey! i was just in melbourne for 6 weeks... great city.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 6 March 2003 10:37 (twenty-three years ago)

tell me the whens and the wheres and i'll be there. be prepared for it to just be you and me though.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 6 March 2003 10:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh no, it ain't going down like that. I will summon the Melbourne Massive together. I promise hot american women* and drunken poets**.

* - ok, one's my girlfriend, but her mates are single.

** - depends what you define as 'poetry'.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 6 March 2003 12:13 (twenty-three years ago)

It's because I went overseas. The last FAP involved Ned and me, a winning combination guaranteed to pull the crowds.

I'll be back in July, perhaps we can pull something together then. Also, a big music event will occur in September which I (will) have a hand in organising, and you all must come to that.

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 6 March 2003 13:04 (twenty-three years ago)

The last FAP involved Ned and me, a winning combination guaranteed to pull the crowds.

Quite right. The fact that nobody knew exactly who was all in Melbourne except me was part of the fun. ;-) It's been half a year now, get on it, people!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Arright, if you're in Melbourne and reading this, make some noise.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 7 March 2003 01:27 (twenty-three years ago)

well i'm here but you knew that... other melbourne people, i am prepared to name names if you don't speak up for yourselves, that is a threat.

― minna (minna), Friday, 7 March 2003 06:06 (twenty-three years ago)

come to sydney for the weekend of the 15th... a bunch of melbourne bands are playing.. the emergency and architecture in helsinki [!!!] we can have a FAP on a nice beachside pub or something.

also, my flight out of australia is on the 17th so.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 7 March 2003 06:12 (twenty-three years ago)

NAY! SYDNEY, SHE IS VILE!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 7 March 2003 09:12 (twenty-three years ago)

If you blow the chance of FAPping with the fabulous Phil-Two you are FULES.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 7 March 2003 10:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I mean, I even know Glaswegians who've managed to sort out drinking with him.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 7 March 2003 10:52 (twenty-three years ago)

oh its okay tim... i dont mind drinking alone.

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 8 March 2003 05:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm up for anything anytime anywhere! (not literally obv)

As co-organiser of the spectacular September music event that Andrew mentioned, I'd like to invite you all. It's a 2-night festival in a beautiful place out in the country.

― Keith McD (Keith McD), Saturday, 8 March 2003 06:02 (twenty-three years ago)

/eerie vocoder>

― Keith McD (Keith McD), Saturday, 8 March 2003 06:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm keen. Fuck July--let's do something soon-ish.

― OCP (OCP), Saturday, 8 March 2003 06:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, alright, let's work out some specifics.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Saturday, 8 March 2003 08:23 (twenty-three years ago)

...

― OCP (OCP), Thursday, 13 March 2003 05:47 (twenty-three years ago)

exactly. now you see my problem

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 05:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn you people are lazy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 March 2003 05:50 (twenty-three years ago)

not me! i'd turn up to the opening of an envelope

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 05:51 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm probably going boozin' to the Croft Institute on Sunday afternoon. maybe you should all come along.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 05:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I would but I think I'll still be recovering from hideous chemically-induced madness at my birfday party (and Nalini-housewarmingything) the night before.

Shurely it ain't that hard to organise a FAP? Just say something like "Lounge, Swanston Street, 8pm on the Xth of Foo" and just... turn up!

Right now thinking about FAPs and drinking is making my head (and my chest, damn cigarettes) hurt... uuurgh.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:03 (twenty-three years ago)

yes well the enthusiasm is overwhelming as usual. if you want me i'll be in the spleen

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:09 (twenty-three years ago)

(and not at spleen)

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:09 (twenty-three years ago)

(see if anyone gets the reference)

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd show! But I'm over here. :-(

(I will take the opportunity to say I am already pondering a return visit to Australia and New Zealand, and this time around I want to make a two week visit to Australia and another two weeks for NZ...)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Hahah... Spleen... yes, I got it. Yeesh ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok... so, The Lounge...

...when?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i was about to whinge about the choice of venue but then realised it might be counterproductive.

hmmm, when.. tomorrow nite?

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:25 (twenty-three years ago)

This whole weekends bad for me dudes, birthday and all that :( Of all consarn weeks for this to come up mutter mutter ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, actually, the Lounge can suck. Maybe somewhere down Brunswick St way, or a suitably non-snooty city bar. Hell, even the Spleen.

Let's set it for a week or two hence, so we can drum up some interest.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 13 March 2003 06:56 (twenty-three years ago)

thursday night next week?

― minna (minna), Thursday, 13 March 2003 07:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, yeah, that sounds cool!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 13 March 2003 07:21 (twenty-three years ago)

okey dokey

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 13 March 2003 07:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, the Lounge often does suck. Pony?

― OCP (OCP), Thursday, 13 March 2003 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Now, I've never been to this here Pony place, but I've heard some good things about it, so that's good.

Yes, the Lounge sucks, because often at this time of year it's full of poncy little Melbourne Uni Arts students (I have waited for so very long to be able to say that without feeling an almighty hypocrite).

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 13 March 2003 23:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Um where is Pony? I'm not a big fan of having to venture to the north side of the city to be honest, but if everyone else wants to go there... if it is in the city OTOH, then cool. :)

Hey why dont we go to the Gin Palace and totally piss away all our money? :D

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 14 March 2003 00:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Isn't Pony right near the Gin Palace?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 14 March 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, on Lt Collins street.

It's quite good, if we're talking relatively unpretentious city bars (owned by the same people as Bar Open, if that gives you some idea....)

― OCP (OCP), Friday, 14 March 2003 02:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Skipping 12 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

Well I finish work at 6 so I could be there by 7... if I get there first, I'll save us all a decent spot. And I guess I should wear something obvious. Perhaps a tshirt that says "do not sit here if you hate me".

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

are you taking nalini?

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 22:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I did tell her about it last night yeah, and she seems keen to come along... she said she might bring her friend Nat too.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 22:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Sounds wonderful.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 00:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Just bumping this back up to the top, Melbournites.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 02:01 (twenty-three years ago)

So we're all decided then? Tomorrow night (Thursday March 20th), Pony bar, Lt Collins St city, 7-7.30pm. This ok with everyone? Who's coming? Final show o'hands people :)

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 02:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Word.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 03:23 (twenty-three years ago)

goes w/o saying

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 03:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I should hope so James -if you don't show after all this, I shall beat you senseless with one of the Vine's pairs of shoes. And we don't want that now, do we!?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 04:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I couldn't be there before about 10pm, sorry.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 05:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know if I'd still be there that late on a weeknight... maybe someone else will tho? Anyone? Bueller?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 05:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, I can't make it until almost 10 either.

― OCP (OCP), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 06:41 (twenty-three years ago)

if it indeed ever happens
-- electric sound of jim (electricsoun...), March 17th, 2003 4:03 PM. (later)

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 06:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Well screw dis, I'm a be there anyway. If any of the ILXOR massive are there, then that's just peachy. You will know me by the ~~trail of dead~~ big red jumper with 33 on it.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 07:12 (twenty-three years ago)

i can be there at 8:30, the bridge between the two factions!

― minna (minna), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 09:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, yea verily, we will come together at the table of friendship and under the auspices of strong libation we will cement the Melbo-ILXOR alliance.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 09:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Unfortunately I'm busy all evening but I'll keep a look out for the next get together. Have fun.

― Amarga (Amarga), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 11:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Have fun... Are there any Sydney ILXers? I'm leaving Australia in a week if anyone wants to meet up.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Um, I hope no one got the impression I'm not going - I am! I'll be there between 7-7.30, Nalini and Nat are coming with me. So if no one else shows, dammit I'll just have a drink anyway. To spot me, look for the Goth Betty Boop tshirt wearing red haired chicky with glasses, and that be me.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 21:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Can someone confirm where in Lt Collins st Pony is? Is it to the right just off Swanston like Gin Palace is? Is it down some dodgy laneway? :) Details please! I'm a hopeless navigator...

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 March 2003 00:19 (twenty-three years ago)

it's in the same block as Spleen. easy!

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 20 March 2003 00:37 (twenty-three years ago)

hur hur ;P

And thankyew ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 March 2003 00:39 (twenty-three years ago)

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 20 March 2003 06:21 (twenty-three years ago)

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 20 March 2003 06:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, well that was jolly bloody nice! You're all swell people! We simply must do that again sometime.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 20 March 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)
