― geeta (geeta), Monday, 22 November 2004 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I am up for any FAPping, especially with a top special guest star!

Blimey there'll be more NYCIlxers in London than NYC this weekend.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

it'll be so lovely meeting you, geeta. cant wait. fabric 27th. going to be scary.

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 22 November 2004 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Monday then, how about 'the Lamb'?

― Ed (dali), Monday, 22 November 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think i've been to the lamb, but i trust ed's judgement.

monday at the lamb then?

― geeta, Monday, 22 November 2004 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

sounds good - this is the 'nigh on impossible to find' pub tho right?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Monday, 22 November 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I can't remember which one that is. We could make it 'the little' (duke) of York.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 22 November 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I WONDER WHY YOU THINK THAT, THEN?

I second the Lamb.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

is monday cool? what time is best? (any time is fine with me)

― geeta, Monday, 22 November 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

theoretically i could bring my parents on the monday. i don't think it's a very good idea, though.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 22 November 2004 23:36 (twenty-one years ago)

bring yr parents!!!!

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha. Can't wait to see you so mail me at suzylastname at yahoo dot co dot you kay, oh kay? By the time you get here there may be...news.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

MDC, that's not the one I live on top of, I live on top of the other one.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 07:23 (twenty-one years ago)

We had a small fap there once, kate, mark s, martin gareth, possibly PJ I seem to recall.

lamblamb lamby lamb.

so does "the christmas season" officially begin with this FAP? :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i've been to the lamb before! i like that one.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the Lamb but I won't go back to that neighbourhood, old Uncle George was right about the Hellmouth being in Bloomsbury.

The Little Duke would be good, though. Which day are we doing it on? I need to write it in my diary.

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Monday I think.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

We had the Tombot + Ally FAP in the Lamb, IIRC.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I might be in Epsom. I don't know. Can we have the FAP in Epsom? There is the roughest "Fancy A Fight?" pub in the world there at the end of the market, called The Albion so I want to go in there and quote Blake and see how quickly I get punched.

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

oh i thought that was something else but you're right.

xpost

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

The Lamb's hellish if it's busy, was the ally+tom fap on a friday? It's not too bad mid-week, fingers crossed!

― Vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I know I can't avoid Bloomsbury forever, but please not The Lamb. Please?

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

revive!!

is it the lamb, then? have we decided yet? i'm leaving NYC in a few hours...my crappy cell phone isn't gonna work in london i think, but i'll be staying at gareth's and checking this thread often

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 25 November 2004 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. lamb. see you. monday.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 25 November 2004 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

the lamb? oh sweet jesus - the home of pub rage, last time I was there I stormed out, bloody idiots, bloody crap seating, bloody door smacking me in the back of the head.

― Porkpie (porkpie), Thursday, 25 November 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

If anything changes, I'll call gareth.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

if i'm still in town, i'll come!

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

hasn't suzy ensnared you as a minion anyway?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

There appears to be a bit of vociferous anti-Lamb feeling here - I suspect it'll be fine on a Monday night but are there any decent local alternatives? I barely know the area...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

The Little duke is very nice, good beer and food and relatively quiet on a monday night.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub340.htm

for those that don't scroll back.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha that time I'm talking about I rang Tim while I was there just to whinge at him about how awful it was

lovely snob screens though x-post of course

― Porkpie (porkpie), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

hasn't suzy ensnared you as a minion anyway?

yes kinda. i might be in london longer than planned.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 25 November 2004 17:19 (twenty-one years ago)

the lamb is that pub in the middle of nowhere, the one where ally/tombot fap was right?

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i originally read this thread as "gareth in london nov 27-dec 2" and thought "oh cmon, he doesn't travel that much."

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

aw what, if you leave on the 2nd you miss sutekh at the wicked weird party!

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 25 November 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

arse, that looks good, I'm camping that weekend though.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 26 November 2004 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

camping? in december? blimey...

i am happy for the pub to change if it's the will of the people :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 26 November 2004 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

LAMB! Purely because it's five minutes from my office and I can do super early doors and grab lovely banquette seating.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 26 November 2004 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i landed this morning...i'm here! in oxford til morning w. my little brother and then i'm heading over to london

any pub is fine with me for the fap! is it the lamb or is it not the lamb?

― geeta, Friday, 26 November 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Little duke then by order of the revolutionary steering comittee

― Ed (dali), Friday, 26 November 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Are there any plans for meeting up pre-Fabric?

― RickyT (RickyT), Saturday, 27 November 2004 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

not yet, but here, we could make those plans?

NON DANCE MUSIC EVENT?!?!

Oh my goodness, think the unthinkable!

If it's in Bethnal Green it will be the RAWK. Probably.

I'm sorry, too, Ed. I didn't really know what was going on and I'm sorry you were naked and I was asleep. Ooh, err, that sounds a lot worse than it was.

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:11 (twenty-one years ago)

This is really good (/bad).

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

yes lauren, we're coming tonite. geeta and i just woke up, but im so confused since i went to bed at a reasonable hour (1am), so anyway, im getting ready to do something touristy. yesterday i only got 3 hours of sleep and ended up passing out on a bench at the british museum. in front of a big buddha.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

non dance music event????

― Ronan (gareth too, really) (Ronan), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i think they're actually going to a TEA

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

ha, gareth and i are currently united in our dance ennui. bring on the carousel death-folk records, please.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

did you listen to back on dimestore blvd yet? a dearth of light cast elko, nv to follow

― *@*.* (gareth), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought it was a City Rockers thing tonight tho - que what?

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

man, london sounds fun.

whens all this stuff gonna happen in leeds?

like, never.

*sniffs*

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I seriously can't understand a word of this thread anymore. I am going home to knit!

― Starry (hello chickens), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

what's a non-dance music event? ahaha

ok, so city rockers tonite! i will plan on it! i don't have a cell but you can email me or call/txt gareth tonite

― geeta, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll call gareth. i'm thinking we leave about 8 (no later, anyway).

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Happy knitting, Sarah - I blew lunch out because of flat being Grand Central, but in a good way. Have been working on everything all day and talking to mother about Xmas present (money for business costs, something specific that I have to keep schtum about even to her, hence she is forced to trust me which is good), and friend from my last art project wants maybe to employ me, we'll see.

Dudes, I'm stealing (maybe Geeta and) Phil along to an opening from 6.30-8 with hot and cold running everything and Abigail Lane art. I'm meeting a work friend (see above) and we're going off after for quick drink/work talk so mine is an early night and the Phil will be back with you by 9pm AKA his usual wake-up time. Maybe if Ed does not truly desire the quiet night in he deserves due to head-nipping girlfriend with masterplan, he will join you at City Rockers and have a night on the lash with MUSIC.

Those damn fashion summaries aren't done = ESM hating on me unless in basically NOW.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I lived in London : ( (sometimes)

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I am still not entirely recovered from Saturday. Man, I am so old.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

unfortunately, i have to be at the city rockers thing by 8.30 or so. i'll text or email directions or something to geeta/phil, i guess..

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

i cannot get there till much later, i cannot guarantee being there at all, actually, at this stage

― *@*.* (gareth), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

how was the TEA?

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

kate should have been there. the first band was dirty dronerock boy explosion.

potential highlight: the girl with PETE DOHERTY tattooed on her forearm (the name, not a portrait).

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a highlight? I may as well just get BRONSON PINCHOT tattooed on the insides of my thighs.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

it was a humour highlight.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 12:21 (twenty-one years ago)

geeta prob won't get to see you again now which sux (and you'll probably be back in london before i make it out to new york again) but til next time...

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 12:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, colour me neon red.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 12:40 (twenty-one years ago)

that'd be a highlight

"that was a human highlight"

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Dirty dronerock boys? But were they playing DIRTY DRONEROCK or was it just bad brown Bethnal Green smackrock?

This, alas, is always the dilemma...

Good god, if I *ever* get anyone's name tattooed on my arm, freaking shoot me. With guns. (Except for that Spacemen 3 tattoo, but that's different, you see.)

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

they were playing droney proggy shoegazey stuff, featuring long songs and boards of pedals.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh god....

Oh wait, that's exactly what we were doing at rehearsal!

Except no one in my band looks like a DDB. Which is probably a good thing, mind you.

Any idea what they were called?

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

they're called b.c.e. (you don't want to know what it stands for). they have a single coming out on my friend's label soon.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Errr... Before Common Era, perhaps?

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

no. that would be a major improvement.

Are B, C and E the only chords they know? Coz that would be good dronerock, then!

B, C and E are definitely better than A# F# and Infinity.

Geeta, I'm sorry we didn't get to hook up again after Tues but I've finally snapped and DELEGATED that work that was looming to a friend that needs a designer break.

Email me when you're back, sometime this weekend. KORITFW!

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 2 December 2004 10:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, pity, could have done with a few late doors snifters last night. See you next time you're in London (or indeed vice versa).

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 2 December 2004 13:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Gah! I missed this due to leaving the web cafe a few minutes too early. Sigh.

I have to admit that I actually kinda like the name "Brown Corduroy Express". I mean, it does what it says on the tin, right? But then again, I once nearly named a band The Corduroy Sound so what do I know? Sigh.

― The Grain of Sand in Lambeth That Satan Cannot Find (kate), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

see you back in new york, geeta. i can now add you to the shortlist of friends that i've hung out with in daylight hours.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha. Phil, if you get back here before me I should be back within an hour of you.
