Are there still tickets left? I might send HSA down to the ICA to get them if there are coz I'd like to go.

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:08 (twenty-two years ago)

is this with a band? who else is DJing/playing?

plus wot kate said...do we need tickets?

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

we will be there mob-handed.

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

anna and i will be there. it's with the band, yeah, and some irish nine-piece band who dan always raves about are supporting, so it should be good.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

irish band = The Jimmy Cake.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

think there are kate... check the ica website...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:33 (twenty-two years ago)

there's dancing afterwards too, which is good if that short baldy bloke who was djing at the 100 club is doing it as he's great, and introduced me to so much love to give and that boot with Ride on it.

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

i may be dancing (read nodding head a bit) elsewhere later on with friends (do genuinely have 'em!), but if anyone fancies a pint while there, then drop me a mail...

i did find out who that was but i've forgotten again. grr.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

What time does it all kick off, go on til? I'm travelling down from Edinburgh and don't get into KX until midnight. Anyone reckon it'd still be worth my while heading down?

― neil simpson, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

nah it'll all be over by then i think

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

finishes off at one I think, so no, not really worth yr while

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

DJs: Benalyn, Justin Spear (Stereolab tour DJ), Richard King (Wigwam)
& Tony Morley (The Leaf Label)

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

bummer. Oh well. Any other ideas for stuff to do dancing wise at that sort of time on a friday. I guess I'm looking for the whole dance/indie thing (maybe Peaches, Jeans team, Soulwax, etc., electro, some garage stuff + a few surprises). I have no idea whether such a night exists outside of my head.

― neil simpson, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

theoretically egg would be a good idea, as it's near kings x and has nagnagnag etc djs on a friday night, but given that it was almost empty last friday i'd advise giving it a miss.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Why does no one ever play in Dawlish?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

if it's garage you're after Forward>> are doing a room with d&b's Trouble on Vinyl, at The End (i think)

― martin (martin), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah or you could go to smoove like real people do HA HA HA

― Chip Morningstar (bob), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin? You've finally started posting?

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 5 June 2003 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i just noticed that!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Thursday, 5 June 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

(i sent martin a link to one of the dizzee threads a couple of days ago...).

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Who is Martin? (And can we eat him?)

Though to answer the question initially posed, actually, I am not going to Manitoba because HSA's mum has invited us to spend the weekend out at her country cottage! And as I have just found out that they have a WHITE HORSE, I am so excited at the Time-Team-ness of it all that I'm not actually that disappointed at missing Manitoba. Again.

Have a good time y'all that go!

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Where's the country cottage?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin is one of the www.hyperdub.com massive and a good chap, personally I would not like to eat him and any such questions should be addressed directly to him...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Wiltshire. For some reason, I think the name of the town is Littletown, but then again HSA and Ms. HSA's Mum might be having some fun with that one.

― kate, Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Just possibly. Mind you, I live near Cockwood.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin is also one of my good mates who has had to suffer my talk of internet mentaism.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:46 (twenty-two years ago)

50% going...

― nick.K (nick.K), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

there's nothing quite like internet "mentaism," i find.

see you by the bassbins tonight Mr Selfox?

― martin (martin), Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

fraid not mate - moving house and packing boxes, tho i may be able to drop down for a quick drink or two...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:51 (twenty-two years ago)

who moves house between 11-2am? :)

― martin (martin), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

you should go to this gig just to see the Jimmy Cake, who are a leading band here in Dublin. If you like them you can tell all your friends you saw them first, and if you don't like them you can laugh at the puny tastes of Dublin's so-called trend-setters.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

what do Jimmy Cake sound like?

― martin (martin), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

and can we eat them?

― chris (chris), Friday, 6 June 2003 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Jimmy Cake are on at 8:45, Manitoba at 10:15. it hasn't sold out yet but may do on the door...

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 6 June 2003 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I must say, I'm looking forward to it tremendously

― chris (chris), Friday, 6 June 2003 11:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Couple of Jimmy Cake mp3s at

― Eamonn Maher (Eamonn Maher), Friday, 6 June 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god, Jimmycake, what the chuff was that, eight geeky people from music club at school on too much tartrazine, bloody awful.

Manitoba were good though, but I get the feeling that they'd have been a hella lot better if we hadn't been evacuated from the building twice duue to fire alarms.

― chris (chris), Monday, 9 June 2003 08:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Any other reviews? What did people think? (And what about those fire alarms?)

Have to say Wiltshire was lovely. Avebury = AWESOME. And astonishingly hippie-free for a nice summer day.

― kate (kate), Monday, 9 June 2003 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

silent fire alarms!

i thought they were great. on the other hand it was pointed out to me the next day that i had been rather drunk (mostly this was pointed out by my nasty hangover, which is why we didn't make it to borough market - sorry), so possibly i'm not the most reliable witness.

i wish i'd seen the cymbal getting thrown into the front row.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 9 June 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

avebury = europe biggest man made structure. i think

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, that's Silbury Hill, which is just around the corner. We didn't climb that, it was WAAAAAY too big. We opted to just go inside the West Kennet Long Barrow instead.

Avebury is still amazingly cool. You have to drive between two massive scary standing stones that look like they are going to fall on you and pulverise you at any moment. And you get out and walk around and think "hrmm, not that big" until you get on the bank and keep walking and realise that the earthworks go ALL THE WAY AROUND the outside of the village.

HSA's mum is an archeologist, so she was explaining everything to us, it was great. There used to be an avenue of stones leading off, continued by a wooden palisade that lead all the way down to the river Kennet, apparently.

I was slightly disappointed that we didn't get to climb the hill up to the White Horse carved in the hillside above the cottage, but according to HSA's mum, it's not Neolithic at all, but Victorian. :-(

Erm, none of this has anything to do with Manitoba, I apologise.

― kate (kate), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:07 (twenty-two years ago)

cymbal? front row?

obviously I was battered too, and Borough market was a tourist hellhole - I was far too late to avoid the crowd.

Mind you, I bet Vicky's hangover was worse than yours Toby.

― chris (chris), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

After all that i didn't even make it, due to a work catastrophe that kept me in the office till about 10.30... grrrr...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

a friend of mine had the place near-evacuated during jan jelinek's show there about 18 months ago as he parked his car right outside the ica and the police thought it might be a bomb!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:21 (twenty-two years ago)

anna said that vicky + her weren't very drunk, it was just you and i, chris!

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

really?! I made the mistake of keeping up with Jonnie, Chris and Dave, despite saying that there was no way that I would do that.

YOu know what it's like, at first you get a drink plonked down in front of you, and you think, I should be taking it easy, slow down, then you can't even do that, you just pick it up and drink, and then when it's chucking out time you refuse to leave your bottle behind cos it's still got beer in (of course I haven't had enough, I can't possibly leave it) and so you down it, after trying to make a break for freedom and failing....

I really enjoyed manitoba, but whether it was because of the fire alarm or the beer, I didn't enjoy it as much as at the 100 club.

― Vicky (Vicky), Monday, 9 June 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

i think my problem was that places like the ica aren't don't make it very easy to pursue my usual strategy of drinking lots of water. also i'd been drinking since 5. also i was drinking strong beer all evening. also...

the one thing manitoba should do is to sort out an encore, i think. it's a pity to have everyone shouting for another song but not have anything left to play.
