who's coming to see my friend's band play in london-- all the way from detroit?

not sure if i'm really supposed to do this, but i'll rationalise it below to convince you to come. they're playing at the dublin castle on sunday the 4th, and play fairly early, i think.

reasons i think you should come:
1. he's come all the way from detroit to do an england tour, so it would be cool to get loads of support here in london.
2. he's the person that introduced me to ILX, so he's not a stranger.
3. we were going to have a FAP for his visit, but the schedule means that he isn't in london long enough for a proper FAP, so this'll have to do.
4. it's his birthday the next day, and he'll be spending all day on a plane back to the states.
5. i didn't get to come to the new year's pub crawl because i've been sleeping the last two days solid, and this can be a substitute...

they have some info and songs on their website, www.capitolcitiesdetroit.com

come! it'll be fun!

what is his band? The White Stripes?

er, not exactly the white stripes. although i'm sure they've all been in the same bars at the same time.

they're called capitol cities, and he doesn't get in nearly as many fights as j.w. does. i don't think.

and stevem, because you're the first person to say you'll go, you get a special present!

(this is a lie. you were already going to get it. but i'll bring it tomorrow for you, since i'll see you then)

ooooh intriguing

more should come, we simply cannot have a week go by in London without at least one FAP

colette you have mail

stevem (blueski), Sunday, 4 January 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry, i ended up hiring a car and driving to nottingham to rescue him after their show there, driving us back to london, returning the hire car and getting home about 4am. then we did the 9 hours in london whirlwind tour before going to his gig.

and it was good fun, but that's why i wasn't able to check my mail...

blimey, it's Wondergirl

stevem (blueski), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:24 (twenty-one years ago)

well, otherwise he wouldn't have had a chance to actually see london. and we had a great time, so it's all good.

although i'm deliriously tired today. not just from that.
