The weekend, certainly the 18th at least, is out for me, as one of my oldest and best friends gets married then, but otherwise I could make a FAP, I expect.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:40 (twenty years ago) link

16th or 17th would be cool. my g/f (a non-ilxor) shd be there as well.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:48 (twenty years ago) link

are you going to lie to her or explain what ILX actually is?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:49 (twenty years ago) link

ie a grotesque cult built on blood daubing and wild mass judgements of people because "their eyes are closer together"

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:50 (twenty years ago) link

haha! she's met the dublin crew before, so she knows all the gory details. i think i once showed her the "shouting out of car windows" thread.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:51 (twenty years ago) link

that must be a solid relationship.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:51 (twenty years ago) link

That's a good thread to show. "Yes darling, I think it's fair to say that Graham is a typical representative of ILX."

we'll be in Venice, so won't be able to make it :(

but hey, we'll be on holiday

― Porkpie (porkpie), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 20:10 (twenty years ago) link

look forward to meeting you kilian

Not 17/18/19th but 16th is doable. What Stevem said.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 2 September 2004 09:38 (twenty years ago) link

my b-day is the 16th, and i am planning a party at a bar (TBC - i will sort this out today!). i was going to announce a FAP request for the 16th or 17th but you beat me to it! i'll get back to you with my plans and of course y'all are encouraged to come!

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 2 September 2004 09:40 (twenty years ago) link

16th best for me too, i shall be in the lake district at a wedding for the rest of the weekend, which is nice :)

hurrah rob, that sounds good :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 2 September 2004 09:42 (twenty years ago) link

make it the friday night rob!

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 2 September 2004 09:43 (twenty years ago) link

THURSDAY! Also on wedding duty that weekend. Blimey, is the whole world getting married?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 2 September 2004 09:44 (twenty years ago) link

well, my birthday is actually the thursday, but i realise a party is better suited to a friday (?). then again, getting a club is much easier for a thursday. i'm aiming for the thursday (16th). more to come...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 2 September 2004 10:13 (twenty years ago) link

one warning: i'm thinking of doing my shin-dig south of the river, which i know isn't great for a lot of you folks. however i have a lot of friends there from my days as a brixtonian, so i kinda want to include them. thoughts? recipies? abuse?

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 2 September 2004 10:15 (twenty years ago) link

Brixton should be fine for me, and its at the end of one of those nice coloured lines so the North Londoners won't get the fear.

I think I should be okay with either night.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 2 September 2004 10:28 (twenty years ago) link

given the ruinous potential combined with proposed location i urge Friday, but i will probably go if it's on thursday anyway, after a pint or two with kilian beforehand

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 2 September 2004 10:30 (twenty years ago) link

What is it about London in autumn that gives us a pretty much constant stream of visiting Ilxers every year? Its great.

Steve is correct, I would prefer Friday but whatever really.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 2 September 2004 10:31 (twenty years ago) link

OK, I've got the Thursday (16th) tentatively booked for some fun in Brixton. We'll have our own bar and DJ booth/soundsystem!

Once I get confirmation I'll start a thread on it with all the details...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 2 September 2004 11:37 (twenty years ago) link

boo...i can't really do anything on the 16th unless it runs really late-- will be at a meeting that's scheduled to finish about 9:30 on holloway road, and usually leaves me feeling suicidal/murderous...

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:03 (twenty years ago) link

h+i tube goes straight to brixton though! and then you can unwind with a couple of pleasant Brixton pints.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:09 (twenty years ago) link

the bar is open until 2am on thurs! i have to work on the 17th, and i predict a very painful morning at the office...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:12 (twenty years ago) link

very much looking forward to meeting you all, i shall post more when i'm actually *in* london...

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:12 (twenty years ago) link

lalalala bumpity bump...

sorry, just trying to plan my diary for the week ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 13 September 2004 08:30 (twenty years ago) link

Kilian, are you planning on coming to Brixton?

*Jedi mind trick* FRIDAY FAP, FRIDAY FAP

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 September 2004 08:37 (twenty years ago) link

No Friday FAP! I've got a rehearsal in Hackney on Friday! Unless you want to FAP at the Premises Cafe...?

― Danger Whore, over and out (kate), Monday, 13 September 2004 08:39 (twenty years ago) link

friday fap is ok by me, matt. i can fap whatever day/time/venue suits folks best.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:42 (twenty years ago) link

That sounds good. Someone contact the committee for a pub!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:43 (twenty years ago) link

I can't do Friday FAPing :(
But hopefully you can come to Brixton on Thursday and I'll see you then!

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:57 (twenty years ago) link

We've done Friday night fapping in the

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago) link

We've done Friday night fapping in the Blue Posts Newman Street before and it seems like a good bet when it comes to taking a biggish group - any objections?

Unless everyone else is busy on the 17th in which case maybe we should amalgamate the two and just FAP in Brixton on Thursday. Kilian's decision really I suppose.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago) link

That would suit me, Matt - it's one of the less crowded central pubs at such times.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 13 September 2004 15:18 (twenty years ago) link

i shall post on wednesday afternoon when i arrive in london to find out what suits folks best. combined thursday fap ok by me also.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 13 September 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

i wonder where kilian's got to then?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

maybe it was an elaborate ruse.

― the neurotic rassafrassa of harrumph (blueski), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago) link

Kilian - if you see this, come to Living, 443 Coldharbour Lane in Brixton. London ILX is at its best when there is loud music and dancing involved so this should be a good'un.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 15:03 (twenty years ago) link

hi guys! i am actually in london - i shall do my best to be in brixton tonite. only managed to get to a computer now...

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 16 September 2004 16:41 (twenty years ago) link

Kilian - if you get lost and need a number txt Ronan and he'll give you mine.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 16:47 (twenty years ago) link

he doesn't have my number!

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 16 September 2004 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

he surely has someone's who has mine though

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 16 September 2004 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

there's only 27 of us here in Dublin afterall

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 16 September 2004 18:07 (twenty years ago) link

haha its true i don't have ronan's no. sorry i couldn't make it last nite - hope everyone had a good time...i know friday doesn't suit many folks, but if anyone still wants to meet for a pint or two i *guarantee* i'll make it this time. i understand yr probably all hungover after last night, but if you feel up to it suggest a venue and time and i shall be there...

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Friday, 17 September 2004 09:21 (twenty years ago) link

kilian I guess blue posts is fine. usually people arrive from 6 but I don't know what time I'll finish today- shouldn't be too late. Is anyone else up for this?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:58 (twenty years ago) link

You should specify which of the four or five Blue Posts you mean! Newman Street, I expect. I don't think I can manage it, I'm afraid. Sorry, Kilian.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 17 September 2004 11:03 (twenty years ago) link

Its the one that matt links to in his post - newman street.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 17 September 2004 11:04 (twenty years ago) link

BPNS sounds good - will try and make it

― the neurotic rassafrassa of harrumph (blueski), Friday, 17 September 2004 11:10 (twenty years ago) link

i'll head there - we'll prob be in around 7 or so. look forward to meeting ye.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Friday, 17 September 2004 15:03 (twenty years ago) link

haven't had much chance to be at a computer since the FAP - so belatedly i'll say that it was great to meet some of the london crew, who were without exception lovely folks. linda sends her best wishes also. sorry that i didn't get to meet more of you - hopefully i'll be in london again soon.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Sunday, 19 September 2004 19:33 (twenty years ago) link

I can't believe you people aren't scared of a giant Avril Lavigne rampaging across London. You'll eat those words if it ever happens.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 19:36 (twenty years ago) link

that post will look so bizarre to folks who weren't there, matt!

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Sunday, 19 September 2004 19:39 (twenty years ago) link

It was a good night though. Nice to meet you both. I'm sorry I hit a giant wall of drunkenness and had to leave a bit before the end. It was for my own good.

Did I rant to you about Gary Doherty at one point?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 19:39 (twenty years ago) link

there was definitely some mention of the tall irishman, yes. i can only assume the comments were unfavourable.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Sunday, 19 September 2004 19:43 (twenty years ago) link

Aw, are you missing Gary Doherty now he's at Norwich or wherever it is, Matt?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 19 September 2004 20:58 (twenty years ago) link

I'm sorry I missed this. :-(

However, rehearsal was interesting. I actually threw a bottle at Peter!

Oh, and I walked in to the studio, and the first person I saw was Dan Channel 6. Good lord. I hadn't seen him in 3 years. The boy still rearranges my molecules. I just had to laugh at the weirdness of it all. He's got short hair now and an alt.country band. Too weird.

Anyway, how was the FAPping that I missed?
