So they liked us so much at the Cross Kings so they asked us and our Umbrella-ella-ella ey ey back. Except it wasn't our umbrella-ella-ella ey ey. Hopefully they will overlook this.
Problem is they are pretty booked up for upstairs so we have decided to take a spin on the downstairs "Jester Bar" (ulp). It takes 100 has good ventilation and at least two flashing lights. YAY!
Guest DJ's include a special set from Alix and her charity shop haul from Totnes. Other guests to be announced.
It is here by the way.

― Pete, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 11:26 (eighteen years ago)

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 11:32 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, they haf a basement. Hence downstairs. I don't think there is a lift, but happy to carry anyone with mobility impairments.

That'll be most people by the end of the night amirite

;_; butchered flyer (just shout at me more to update/alter it, this savillesque approach to time-keeping can't go on i know)
― blueski, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 12:33 (eighteen years ago)

― CarsmileSteve, Friday, 13 July 2007 11:05 (eighteen years ago)

Well well well, only ten days away.

Do they have big sofa's downstairs too?
― Anna, Thursday, 2 August 2007 11:42 (eighteen years ago)
It's the Jester Bar - they have thrones and anyone not sitting down has to be at least 95% funny or risk being thrown to the lions.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 2 August 2007 11:54 (eighteen years ago)
I hate myself for that random apostrophe in sofas. WHAT HAVE I BECOME?
― Anna, Thursday, 2 August 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)
is anybody going to Field Day beforehand?
― ken c, Thursday, 2 August 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)
i think so, it was sold out last i heard...
do you want some flyers to hand out Ken?
in other news JimD is our exciting other special guest.
― CarsmileSteve, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 12:46 (eighteen years ago)
Woo, I'm excited! I think I'm going to do an all Manchester set. I'm not sure whether that means I'll be able to justify putting the beegees in there or not. But it does mean that I can be the one who plays Don't Falter!
― JimD, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 13:16 (eighteen years ago)
i can flyer for you if you like steve!
we'll need to rendezvous before saturday then.. perhaps if you just carry loads of flyers on you on the 91 bus..
― ken c, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 13:18 (eighteen years ago)
um, we don't actually have any flyers...
thanks for volunteering though :)
― CarsmileSteve, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 13:55 (eighteen years ago)
Or any posters. We really SHOULD do some for the ones up to Christmas.
― Pete, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 13:55 (eighteen years ago)
yes, yes we should.
where's me crayons?
― CarsmileSteve, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 13:56 (eighteen years ago)
One day, I will actually come to one of these. I'm always doing something else though. This month it clashes with my birthday/housewarming party. Oh well.
― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)
i'll write POPTIMISM on a load of carbon paper and give it out at Field Day
― ken c, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)
I'll put an exclamation mark after the second M, and three 1s after the exclamation mark
― ken c, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)
good plan, then ppl will realise *exactly* how exciting it all is :)
― CarsmileSteve, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 09:50 (eighteen years ago)
I don't suppose you could underline it too.
― Pete, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)
That was surely the most riotous Poptimism ever? Pretty much everyone seemed to have been boozing all day. Also the downstairs bar was great once you got over the decor.
Also OMG that bosh version of Zombie.
― Matt DC, Monday, 13 August 2007 09:32 (eighteen years ago)
that was the original boshed up chart song tho, wunnit?
― Alan, Monday, 13 August 2007 09:58 (eighteen years ago)
it was the UN wot wunnit
― blueski, Monday, 13 August 2007 10:16 (eighteen years ago)
A quick lazy question:
I'm looking for a pub-type venue in London to hire for a night to DJ (with another mystery ILXer). Any recommendations? We don't own CD decks, so the pub would have to provide them. Also, we are big northwest London wusses, and scared of the south.
