hey, hey, hey, HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!

Wednesday...March 24, 2004. The Chapel Bar, 29a Penton Street, Islington. 60062.

Dear Mr. Vernon...we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was that we did wrong, what we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are, what do you care? You see us as you want to see us...in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athelete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at seven o'clock this morning. We were brainwashed...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha I think they might have to stop describing themselves as "trendy" after that night...

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah! Easy staggering distance home.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, it's the 20th anniversary of the day they spent in detention in The Breakfast Club, what better way to celebrate than the return of Club FT, featuring 80s vs 00s djing from a PULPIT and everything...

it's free, it'll be starting about 7ish and i think they do some good cocktail deals in there...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

So is that all back to yours then Ricardo? :)

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

ooh, all back to ric's then :)

xpost

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh fuc

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps we could invite Mich43l W.I.N.N.E.R back too and he could bottom sick all over your flat... especiallllly foooor yooooooooou....?

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

ricardo, if you can't handle the after hours crowd, i'll (hopefully not jinxing it by saying it) have moved into my lovely new flat which is prolly 10 minutes walk or 5 minutes bus from there.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I might by moving soon as well thanks to FUCKWIT ESTATE AGENTS.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I am officially looking forward to this. Shame I can't take the 25th off though.

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Or I could just pop on the Northern line, go home and be tucked in my bed with floppy dog like a good girl :)

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

NON-CENTRAL SHOCKAH

naturally i approve of this bold decision

― arringey ardman (blueski), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

(well after the success of recent north events, it seemed a good idea, also there's nowhere decent to do anything central...)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Bah. UR AL SLONDON HATAS

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

And West London. bah. Islington suX UR all gay.

― Emma, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe we should do it like the respect festival, move it around, oh no, hold on, that's a RUBBISH IDEA, NLONDON R0Xors innit ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Carsmile = The Miranda of Ilx.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i was going to suggest Asylum (as central as you can get) for Club FT - it's grime-tastic!

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

but isn't it rubbish steve? this is a proper nice place with big squashy sofas and A PULPIT FOR DJING IN.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i have grown to love the Asylum - in some ways it is rubbish and i don't think they even serve ale ('cept Newcastle Brown maybe) so obv it's not right for FT crowd but they've done the place up a bit. have lovely sofas, DJ bit is on a pantheon for proper worship purposes ha ha - and sometimes you get famous people in there (Brett Anderson, Caggy from BB1 - but maybe they were just there for the bootlegs...)

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

a pantheon?

i was under the impression that it was just a cellar under a newsagents still (and also COSTS to hire so you have to take money and stuff, which is a pain) :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Carsmile Miranda? It's got a certain ring to it.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

stop deflecting, Barry

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Serving ale being a priority for FT!? Neither Parkers Place nor this new place serve ale.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh MAN!

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw man.

― Barima (Barima), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

WE WANT FUN!

I've missed Club FT.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Oi Barima when are you coming back to London? If, that is, you are.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

you find me somewhere with both ALE and DECKS and is FREE.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

there's a pub on St John St going south from Angel that has occasional gigs, decks frequently, very nice ale and I've never paid to get in. Trouble is, I've forgotten what it's called. Damn.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Foo'!

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

You thinkin' of The Bull?

― Third Step Up, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 17:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Cock & Bull more like!

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I will make a very rare ILE appearance to say that not only is this the 20th anniversary of whatever it is but it's also the start of FT's own 5th Birthday celebrations, which is a v.long time in the wacky world of the web.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

"So it's sort of social? Demented and sad, but social"

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

the start of FT's own 5th Birthday celebrations

:-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

hurrah! i'm suffering a slight club ft vs the bardo pond/jackie o motherfucker gig at the ica the same night, but i imagine club ft will win.

is it just 7-11?

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 07:19 (twenty-two years ago)

bardo pond are playing????

oh, ica:(

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

you sure abt that toby?

as a drone-on subscriber I've been reading reports of jackie-o live and they are blowing ppls minds, it seems.

*prolongs Toby's suffering*

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, ica for me as well. Unless Bardo Pond end up playing the 1st weekend of ATP as well as the second.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

oh good grief...

yeah, standard 7-11...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

ROCKISTS!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 09:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Seeing bands is so 1992.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

there's a pub on St John St going south from Angel that has occasional gigs, decks frequently, very nice ale and I've never paid to get in. Trouble is, I've forgotten what it's called. Damn.

sort it out charlie ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 10:39 (twenty-two years ago)

thinking of the ica, according to time out mission of burma are playing there on april 3rd.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

But I thought you (and me, and loads of your friends) were going to see the Scissor Sisters on the 3rd?

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Oi Barima when are you coming back to London? If, that is, you are.

Thinking end of April. My best mate requested that I show up to ~~mock him~~ celebrate as he's going to Sandhurst at the start of May, which was great as I'm bored at work, never do anything fun on weekdays afterwards over here (drinking at home - classic or dud) and can't buy magazines.
So, I was thinking it was already a great time to visit home when I noticed Tribal Gathering were doing another warehouse rave-up in Manc on Mayday...

And if I do make it on time, there should be a FAP. Stevem'll choose the pub (of course).

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Can i come, i live about 10 ft away

― dave q, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

we are, anna! i just thought ppl (eg julio) might want to know this.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Just wait till "Call On Me" comes out.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 25 March 2004 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, I'm confused, how did I miss romo popstars? God, this is what I get for spending all night on the dancefloor and not paying attention.

Ha ha, stop causing trouble, Colette. Your IRL friend warned me about your evil match-making ways and your crush-encouragement. Bad bad bad!

(However, if a bloke were trying to make himself crush-worthy, Busted jumps would certainly be the way to go about it. But I have given up crushes on IRL people. Forever. No more. Too much trouble. Real people bad, pop stars good. Yeah.)

And Rob (plus Marianna and Colette) - any time. Seriously. Let's go. Like I said, I've got all this equipment paid for by the Canadian Touring Arse Foundation or whatever, just sitting around waiting to be used!

― Psycho Kate (kate), Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, bet you'd move to London just to hear that at an ILX get-together, Ronan.

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh sweet Jesus you all got drunk and decided to form a band again, didn't you?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 25 March 2004 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but imagine how good our band would sound if we all decided to form a band while sober! And near instruments!

― Psycho Kate (kate), Friday, 26 March 2004 08:49 (twenty-two years ago)

[mouth opens and closes but noise doesn't come out]

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 26 March 2004 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

except that i don't play any instruments. which means that it's probably better if i'm drunk and you just hand me a tambourine. or maracas.

i don't know what you're talking about, with this whole match-making thing being evil. it is all nice and friendly and cool. woo.

off to atp now, have a great weekend!

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 26 March 2004 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Have a good time Colette!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 26 March 2004 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't know what you're talking about, with this whole match-making thing being evil. it is all nice and friendly and cool. woo.

looks like i've been superseded, oh well...

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 26 March 2004 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I would have thought you'd be relived...

― Psycho Kate (kate), Friday, 26 March 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not sure people will want to relive me, do i have the durability?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 26 March 2004 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Relieved. Dumbass.

― Psycho Kate (kate), Friday, 26 March 2004 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it is time to remark, before it is too late, that the failure to play "Bring On The Dancing Horses" was -- unfortunate.

― the pinefox, Monday, 29 March 2004 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

we had the dancing pinefox brought on instead, not a bad trade-off

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 29 March 2004 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Relieved. Dumbass.

and i think you mean REVILED

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 29 March 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it is time to remark, before it is too late, that the failure to play "Bring On The Dancing Horses" was -- unfortunate.

The DancingHorsefox ate my oats.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 29 March 2004 20:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Ronan will be FURIOUS

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 29 March 2004 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Bardo Pond were a bit shit. I am a fule.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

My leap from the top of the steps to my knees was both great fun and the cause of Wardrobe Malfunction that I didn't notice until the next day. Hence my lovely new jeans at ATP.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Bardo Pond were a bit shit.

i got a text that evening saying "jackie o were so shit i had to leave before bardo pond". so i'm very glad i didn't go.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Jackie-O were rubbish for the first twenty minutes and then mysteriously got good despite sounding almost exactly the same.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Aren't drugs/beer fantastic?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

the improv thing I went to was so good. my ears were ringing from the loud saxophone/guitar so I'm glad to know I missed both freaky trigger and the kinda shitty gig.

But would that be better than pf dancing? I'm not sure.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I was annoyingly sober throughout.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh lord what must Andrew WK sound like sober?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:28 (twenty-two years ago)

EVEN MORE RUBBISH

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 10:58 (twenty-two years ago)

tho i must admit i was tempted to rush over and jump on yer man Farrell's back when 'We Want Fun' came on, but then Vicky gave me this sort of withering look, as if she knew what i was thinking, and that was that really

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

The reaction of YMAF when WWF by AWK comes on at a CFT night is VVG.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:02 (twenty-two years ago)

KORVVG2AWKWWFITFW@CFTYMAF

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

The fact that We Want Fun can be abbreviated to WWF only makes it better.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

soon to be renamed We Want Entertainment

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I spent twenty minutes discussing the finer points of Sports Entertainment with Martin Skidmore earlier in the night. Next time, moonsault off the pulpit.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

They were crunchy.

It's **YMOF**, for heaven's sake.

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

i was there, and i don't understand most of this conversation.

i think jumping off the pulpit would be even more fun if there was a BOUNCY CASTLE there next time!

a pink one, so pink panther will come!

(sorry, i might be delerious and unable to spell from no sleep. sorry.)

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's **YMOF**, for heaven's sake.

No, it's not.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but what do you know?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it's not YMAF. Can we agree on that?

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

PS / farrell are you back in Ireland already? That was quick.

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

YMTP has a point

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

YMDTPF possibly?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

The segue from 'Together In Electric Dreams' to 'Digital Love' Tom mentioned on NYLPM could only have been inspired by someone who could see the blatantly obvious read Jockey Slut's album of the month review of Discovery when it dropped.

Due to various comments on the thread, I'm now wondering what an ILX AA meeting would be like...

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

crowded

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Very.

(what the fuck has happened to the tags?)

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

only if the meeting's held at the glasshouse store

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

IOW, FAPS are ILX AA meetings (SHOCKER!). So where'd the mass ILX rehab take place?

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Why is Club FT on a school night? Can it be on a non-school night so people can dress up and stuff.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 1 April 2004 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

It's very hard to find places that will give us free entry and free DJing space on a non school night.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 1 April 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

dave B only "dresses up" on weekends.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 April 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

what tom said.
