― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 28 September 2002 01:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, time to fly back (oh how I wish...).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 28 September 2002 01:31 (twenty-three years ago)

we will toast to the ned!

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 28 September 2002 01:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Yay yay!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 28 September 2002 01:35 (twenty-three years ago)

By 'toast', you mean get absolutely trashed on a fine array of spiritous beverages, right?

Count me in! Also, how long are you up northish? Can we do a FAP Hamilton too?

― petra jane (petra jane), Saturday, 28 September 2002 04:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Let's dance on the roof of the sky tower!

― Ess Kay (esskay), Saturday, 28 September 2002 05:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm there (duh!)

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 29 September 2002 02:09 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm planning only on staying in ak for a week. maybe arrive on the wednesday and leave on the same day.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 29 September 2002 04:49 (twenty-three years ago)

That's a short trip. I'll be there too etc. Maybe we should go up the Sky tower, I've still never done it.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 30 September 2002 02:55 (twenty-three years ago)

should i stay longer, andrew? 2 weeks? i don't want to go to the sky tower. i hate needles.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 30 September 2002 02:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I was being dumb, it looked like you were leaving the same day you arrived. HA HA HA good one Andrew. Yeah I kind of like that I've never gone up that thing anyway, I'd rather go to the casino.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 30 September 2002 03:02 (twenty-three years ago)

OH SHIT! ooops i meant leave thsame day next week. but i think 2 weeks is a better idea anyway.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 30 September 2002 06:38 (twenty-three years ago)

YES! A fortnight of Di! and also spiritous beverages! [i've been stockpiling cans of coconut cream for just such an occasion...]

― petra jane (petra jane), Monday, 30 September 2002 06:44 (twenty-three years ago)

mmmmm pina coladas.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 30 September 2002 06:48 (twenty-three years ago)

2 weeks is way better, didn't duane stay like 2 weeks?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Monday, 30 September 2002 10:21 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah i think. i am booking my flight tomorrow (saved by my credit card!), i will arrive on the 4th of december. can we have a fapfapfap on that day (its my payday!!)

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Cool. The 4th looks like it should be FINE, though maybe some of us could, if VERY UNLUCKY, have an exam that day. Semester ends 16 Nov but exams go on for a while, I don't remember how long.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:33 (twenty-three years ago)

exams in DECEMBER?! gawd thats cruel. my lectures finish in today. my last assignment is due novmeber 1. then i'm FINISHED!!

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:51 (twenty-three years ago)

way cool - gainful employment pending, I can probably afford a couple of trips. haha we have to go clubbing!

― Ess Kay (esskay), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 02:17 (twenty-three years ago)

um I feel like a bit of an imposter, missed Ned etc but Im moving to Auckland (devonport... how tossy is that) on 8 Dec. And Im a riech winger- ya all know abortion and being nasty to Di(sorry) but Im actually rather nice (me think so) if your all still around id like to meet u

― Kiwi, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

So would I. Esp. if you like Christopher Isherwood.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha Andrew Im not gay yet... though QueenG always sounds like fun besides its 3.30 what you doing up?

― Kiiw, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Ive gotta go to sleep

― Kiwi, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:33 (twenty-three years ago)

i got my TICKET! i'm SO EXCITED! i haf never flown anywhere by myself before, does this mean i'm an adult now? haha now we have to just hope that the plane i'm on isn't one of them faulty ones!!!

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 21:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Quite, because otherwise I would be sad. Planes by yourself are not scary, I've found. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 October 2002 00:22 (twenty-three years ago)

hey Kiwi, were you DRUNK? hey Di, cool. See you soon.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 3 October 2002 12:11 (twenty-three years ago)

*cringing*- opens his eyes to see that it was not a nightmare. Im giving up drinking.

― Kiwi, Friday, 4 October 2002 03:05 (twenty-three years ago)

that exchange between kiwi and andrew was tragedy of the finest calibre

― boxcubed (boxcubed), Friday, 4 October 2002 04:49 (twenty-three years ago)

yup, its about as bad as it can get...homophobic paranoia of the very finest quality...I need a beer

― Kiwi, Friday, 4 October 2002 04:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm so crushed. Kiwi, do you like Edmund White?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 4 October 2002 12:37 (twenty-three years ago)

only 'out of the closet onto the forum'
haw haw haw

― Kiwi, Friday, 4 October 2002 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

hey everyone! maybe we should have the fapfapfap on a different night. say... the 5th of december? cos umm alexman who i'm staying with is having a joint birthday/di-arrival party (which you fullas are invited to) on december the 4th.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 01:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Di-party, FAP, and two nights of S-K, woohoo!

I wanna rock n roll all night and part of every day </marge>

― petra jane (petra jane), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 03:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I wanna read my books all night and study everyday. I wish I was coming to Auckland too, I love it there!

― rainy (rainy), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 04:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah! Auckland rules! It has a ZINE LIBRARY! Ok 5th and I think I was just being paranoid w/the December exams, and besides I might as well not do them now anyway.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 09:04 (twenty-three years ago)

three weeks pass...

And now I will REANIMATE this thread, yes, watch...

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 1 November 2002 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

morning andrew :-)

― donna (donna), Friday, 1 November 2002 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi Donna! And now it's 4 in the afternoon. Hope yr well.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 2 November 2002 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

oh i am glad you revived this cos um the "di-party" is off. but def still the FAP is on. i still can't wait to go although i have no idea how i will get the money to come home...!

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 3 November 2002 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

So what's the date for it now? Still the 5th?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 3 November 2002 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Have fun all... looks like Ill miss out, up on the 8th Dec.

― Kiwi, Sunday, 3 November 2002 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

yes the 5th please. i'm sorry you won't be there kiwi.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 3 November 2002 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, this should be good... S-K in Melbourne just after...

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 03:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok, venue? Elisabeth and I were thinking the Shakespeare again, it's pretty nice.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 8 November 2002 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I will be keen for a beer with you all.

― gazza, Friday, 8 November 2002 05:57 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...

where is the shakespeare? what time?

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 25 November 2002 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

does the shakespeare have a jukebox?

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 25 November 2002 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I was just thinking about that too cos I'm listening to Madonna. I can't remember, but that's pretty important.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 25 November 2002 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

They have a jukebox we just have to hope no one wants to watch TV.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Monday, 25 November 2002 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

If there's enough of us we could maybe take the place over and play whatever we wanted! Well, get the Tv off I mean, not actually take over a bar.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 25 November 2002 05:48 (twenty-two years ago)

where is the place? i would like to meet you lot but i have no idea where the shakespeare is, and does it allow babies? hes very well-behaved! and cute too! hmmm, maybe i could do a 'pass by and wave' sort of thing from the street.
oh, but it depends on what time.

― donna (donna), Monday, 25 November 2002 05:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Probably during the day I reckon, like the last one... the Shakespeare is at, um, I'm no good at all w/directions... it's just near St. Patrick's cathedral in the city... I'd think babies would be fine! They're sweet.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 25 November 2002 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Its in Albert Street which is on the hill running parallel to Queen Street, Sky City side.

― gazza, Monday, 25 November 2002 06:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, you'd think I'd know that seeing as the bus I get into town stops RIGHT NEXT TO the Shakespeare...

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 25 November 2002 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

are petra and ess-kay going to be able to make it?

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd hope so. I doubt P'll miss it, Ess may have transport issues, also he doesn't get the internet much at the moment, apparently. A roll call might be good. I will EMAIL him.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

i think my peter friend would be able to attend in the evenin. but anton will be there. and maybe alex the boy. what about alex the girl, will she attend?

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

yes donna please bring yourself and your baby.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Donna please bring the baby!!
We should play video games afterwards again too. Also are we going to get dinner afterwards? The food alley was good last time, something for everyone etc.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

its for the 5th still, right? we ( me n my boy ) would like to come for a bit, but you had better tell me what you look like, because my poor computer has a fit trying to open the picture thread so i have no idea who to look for!

― donna (donna), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 06:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Use your Spider Sense Donna.

― gazza, Tuesday, 26 November 2002 07:37 (twenty-two years ago)

we'll probably be hanging around outside for a bit and I guess we'll recognise you if you've got a baby...

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah food afterwards sounds good.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 23:38 (twenty-two years ago)

do they serve pina coladas at the shakespeare?

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

haha transport issues etc (not to say that I value the Nesian Mystik album more than yr friendship, di . . . OR DO I?!?!) - parents v.v.uncooperate (heh, they seem to want me to say in 'Vegas & not to go university!!!) - um it's looking doubtful. i'll phone you (=di), '(ess)kay?

― boy on careers service computers, Wednesday, 27 November 2002 01:41 (twenty-two years ago)

one day we can dance to nesian mystik together.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok, so what time to start? Cos this is SOON COMING UPON US now, the 5th is Thursday, yikes. Around 5? 4? Anyone have a preference?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 2 December 2002 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I work lateish so I won't be punctual, but I'll get there eventually. I do warn you, however, that I'm in a fragile emotional state after my P!nkless weekend.

― B.Rad (Brad), Monday, 2 December 2002 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Arrive around 4-5pm then? Who's coming anyway?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I am feeling ROBUST after not seeing Pjhvnk's new tryhard butch styles.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Does anyone remember when she was hip hop? Does anyone else but me know she is Mandy Moore's older sister?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

She isn't though.

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I asked around about her, and the stories about their respective upbringings don't really match up - P!nk had crap parents, Mandy Moore seems to be on great terms with hers.

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

But! PV _(&Q^E _&Q^E _(*&QVnk WOULD whine about her parents, wouldn't she? Being a dull mopey "teenager" is her thing!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

But implying P!nk has a thing would mean she is fake. If she has a thing, it's misspelling, which is probably less of a crime.

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah she's 4 REAL. Hey wait, are you coming on Thursday? Yr in Auckland! Yr on ILEtc! And you know where it is!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

When Pink first arrived I remember reading that they were sisters quite a bit.. And yeah Pink would whine about her parents, she's like that. Mandy Moore sings about Candy.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 02:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I"M HERE!!! LUV ME!!! i've just had a fuckin WICKED time in christchurch!

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i hope its still happnin. i'm coming at 5 tomorrow, hope to see yas there. xxoo

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Andrew - I have your record, but I don't finish work until after five, so it will be some time after 6 before I can make it to the pub. Y'all better be there then, and if you're not, I might have to chase you to the food courts.

― Damian (Damian), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok! I think I'll be there about 4.30. See you all tomorrow, hopefully

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 12:11 (twenty-two years ago)

alas we will not be able to make it. that time of day is taken up with 'dinner-bath-supper bottle-then bed' for my boy. which is a real shame coz i was hoping to meet you. i dont spose you are all free to go anywhere on friday during the day? i am moving house on the weekend so cant play then either :-(
hope you all have a good time anyway though :-)

― donna (donna), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

oops

― donna (donna), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

hey donna thats a bummer. i might be able to make it into town on friday.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

really di? whereabouts in auck are you staying? it might be nice to meet for a coffee n sandwich somewhere! i find it hard to go to town cause it costs for the parking, and im not game enough to do the bus thing with baby and pushchair-from-hell.

― donna (donna), Wednesday, 4 December 2002 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going to be in town at some point cos it's SLEATER-KINNEY that night, so maybe me too, I dunno.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 5 December 2002 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

FAP complete but I still don't know. Oh yr not available on Sat? Damn! We played "Jumpin Jack Flash".

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 5 December 2002 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Also me. How's Sunday?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 6 December 2002 01:35 (twenty-two years ago)

im gonna be doing my move over saturday and sunday to try and reduce stress levels ( too fucking late ).
so how was the fap anyway?

― donna (donna), Friday, 6 December 2002 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice! Come to the next one, if there is one... we toasted Mr Raggett a couple of times.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 6 December 2002 03:36 (twenty-two years ago)

haha hey hope yr all having MAD fun - would've liked to have come up for DJ Hype, sigh. ps does anybody know how much hostels in auckland charge per night; or does anybody have a couch/closet/dungeon-under-the-staircase/etc?

― etc, Friday, 6 December 2002 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It was really great to meet everyone,it twas fun, and in the words of the Beach Boys we must "Do it Again". You'll have to make it next time Donna!

Did Di get on the right bus?
Did Sleater Kinney rock the Kings Arms to the ground?

― gazza, Friday, 6 December 2002 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

yes i will definately make it to the next one.
etc, when are you needing to come to auck?

― donna (donna), Friday, 6 December 2002 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

we toasted Mr Raggett a couple of times

Hey, thanks. :-) Hopefully I'll be back one day!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 December 2002 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

sleater-kinney indeed rocked the kings arms to the ground. and as for the busses... lets just say i got home! donna i'm in town til wednesday, are you free any time before then? i'm staying in greenlane but i can easily make it to town.

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 7 December 2002 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

ok cool di, are there any cafes or something nearby where you are staying? i am moving to onehunga which i think is kinda close-ish?
( my knowledge of auck is shyte ). will be going over to the new place either mon or tues to take another bunch of stuff and it would be cool to meet you for a coffee. its actually easier for me and the lad to go 'local' than do the parking station thing in town etc.

― donna (donna), Saturday, 7 December 2002 06:41 (twenty-two years ago)

haha in the next few months? i'm in some sort of quantum quandry re : getting kicked out of the hizzouse (di, even the phone is locked up now! this is from a friend's house! & andrew, got yr tape, much love & chip flava etc).

― etc kay, Saturday, 7 December 2002 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

hi esskay... still cafeing it? donna - there is a "sandwich bar" near my lodgings that does sushi. i will e-mail you some details.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 8 December 2002 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Donna you should meet up w/ me and Andrew sometime too, we like Onehunga quite a bit.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 8 December 2002 08:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I just say, SLEATER-KINNEY! SLEATER-KINNEY! SLEATER-KINNEY! That is all.

― B.Rad (Brad), Sunday, 8 December 2002 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

SLEATER-KINNEY!!!!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 8 December 2002 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i have to go home tomorrow. i wish i wasn't. it was great to meet you all. if any of you come to dunners, we should do it all again. umm. i'm kinda sad to be going home. sleater-kinney were to die for.
