And before anyone says anything: it's NOT just a 'Drowned In Sound' party, so don't get scared of anything. There are loads of people coming from all over the place, who have never even heard of this site let alone me or anyone else. It's a gig, with a BBQ, that should be a fun, sunny alternative for those of us not going to Glastonbury. I really do hope to see you all there, to celebrate birthdays of people on here, or just to enjoy some funtimes south of the river x
will that man who dresses like a pirate be there?
I hope so.
If only for an hour of 'Is that Grockle?' 'It sure looks like Grockle...'
If you had Facebook
you'd know that grockle is down as maybe coming anyway.
What if him AND pirate man turn up eh? Scary scenes.
Man who dresses like a pirate?

I'll see if Dom can make it...
i've seen this picture of the guy you call a pirate from those last Zonino pictures
he is my friend. Rob he is called. Rob Owen. I don't know if he still lives in Brixton but i'll tell him to come along.
Bugger!
It's my cousin's wedding that day/night. I was looking forward to it as well :(
You massive chump.
is it BYOB?
Do you normally take your own beer to a venue?
not always, but to BBQ's yeah, normally.
This is a venue that just happens to have barbecue capabilites
So no, it's not BYOB at this.
BBBQ
The extra B is for BYOBB
-whats that extra B for?
-thats a typo
Nothing scares the Bounty Hunter, bra!
ah bollocks
hope it goes well
No Jack?
geniune :(
that's flattering
and all but I'm pretty damn dull in real life, ask Bamos.
He's decorating in Amsterdam, or something.
Like Neil Morrissey on acid.
I sincerely hope
you are not comparing me to Neil Morrisey. If all goes well I might be able to pop along for an hour or two in the afternoon.
Is that a threat?
I was trying to think of who was in the Homebase advert. You got Morrissey rather than Ash. Make of that what you will.
You'd better pop down for a bit. You've no reason not too.
Ah now I get it
I suppose he is the lesser of two evils.
I will try, I'll be a bit scared but hopefully Pocketmouse can alleviate my fears.
Cool.
Can I stay at someone's house please? I snore, and go best with Sadpunk.
Thanks.
xxx
you can stay at mine
if you want. I have a nice sofa bed.
Thanks Gaz!
A sofa bed is an added bonus!
Whereabouts do you live?
Fort William
Dalston actually
it's not that near to Brixton but it's pretty central.
Yeah, I know it.
I once stayed there in a room with Wrightlyew's brother. HOTT.
whatever did you do that for?
There were about 20 of us
in one room. Such was the lure of John Brainlove.
we should go sit in the urns
for sunday lunch the next day.
good call Garth
Thetford.
Nice forest
Cambridge.
isn't creakyknees taking your sofabed?
Stop! Thief!
He won't get far with those knees of his
I didn't think he was coming?
either way it's a double so depends whether people mind sharing or can make do with the other sofa or something. Basically I have one double sofa-bed and another sofa (though not that long).
mine's around the corner from yours
anyway, and i have 1 (possibly not that comfortable) couch and 1 blow-up mattress, plus floor space, as you've seen. with character references from you, i'm happy to option these out to any extras.
Mrs Knees would be more reassured if I could say that I was
staying with someone called Gaz though.
fair enough
i'm only after single males anyway ;)
:( I never said I wasn't coming
Am I not? I was hoping to.
i
don't think i can now. i have to go to weymouth. and probably fall off a cliff.
Weymouth?
Not even a real place. You shit.
it is a real place!
at least i hope so, otherwise my teenage years were some kind of truman show-esque fiction.
I knew you weren't real.
I would never lick a real man's sweaty head.
Srsly, abandon Weymouth. It'll be worth it!
i'll try.
i might be able to travel down on sunday morning. i'll see how well i can blag it with t'famlee.
pint soon regardless? i have NEWS.
Definitely
News intrigues me like nothing else I know.
Oh dear, the bands make me want to go a lot more now.
Maybe I can get an increase on my credit limit...
If I decide to go I will need to sleep somewhere.
Either a train or a house. :|
thanks bamos!
is ticket pre-buying recommended?
You'll be fine on the day
But it's always nice to prepare early, innit?
doesn't sound like my style
but perhaps i shall try it.
what time does the BBQ start
I will aim to get there for the food.
Doors at 4, BBQ from around half past, j'assume.
horsebox are rubbish!
not really
Will there be separate grills for the meat and non-meat?
I can't eat anything if it's been cooked on the same grill as meat.
I don't see why that would be a moral issue.
Unless you didn't actually like the taste of meat.
meat residue
DON'T QUESTION MY STUPID, IRRATIONAL BELIEFS
Im with Zapsta on this im afraid
sorry to be awkward, its just the way it is......perhaps one quarter of the bbq at the side of the bbq could be reserved for vege stuff....they'd need to be a strict partition though...no touching...or spitting fat. :D
I've got a lot of love for this question
I know it's a perfectly sensible question but still
You're a veggie?
That seems so unlikely.
Yes.
As much as you can grill pasta anyway.
Hurrah!
YAY!
*crosses fingers that the other band are of the trumpet variety*
This is a bloody brilliant line up
Tesselators and Maths Class I've been wanting to see for a while. Are the 5th band going to be Pennines? I'll buy you a cider and a sweaty hug if they are.
In their own words
'We won't be able to do this, our Jem works weekends and is taking loads of time off to tour this week so can't get any more for a while.'
:(
One of about eight zillion bands that can't make it. Putting this gig on has been HARD.
Like something suspicious in my pants right NOW
Tesselators are sodding brilliant.
^ I second this promise
and my hug will be extra post-stage sweaty if you so wish.
I sincerely hope
that there are onion rings.
I'VE BOUGHT TICKETS
Who's going to be on the door? Do I really need to print out my ticket?
We're getting a work experience kid in.
Zonino is taking on employees.
So yes.
Zonino : Expanding
Bamos : Expanding
Is this thread just going to be people making fat jokes?
THE FAT PROMOTER?
Party Lard?
WEIGHTing Room?
The Sweat Descends down my cellulite riddled thighs?
Pie Generation
Stupid question: Maths Class are headliners, right?
Okay, cheers.
I will be there early I think. There are some other birthday celebrations going on elsewhere I am due to.
Why does every fucker get born at the end of June?
They don't
Some of us get born in January but choose to franchise out our brand names.
Yes, Maths Class are top of the shop.
September sex.
The kids are back at school, the summer is fading.. romance is in the air!
... the unused solitary condom sitting in the bathroom cabinet all summer
cowering behind the genital wart cream and the used up tube of veruca ointment. It's hot and shrivelled and the use by date is 1997, but it won't hurt this once will it? You've had too much pimms and the neighbour's wife's jubblies are wibbling in your face like two melting icebergs of temptation.....
why is this
in conjuction with Pigfoot \/ making me laugh?
I don't know whether to be offended or not
are your jubblies wibbling?
How do I tell?
Pigfoot V sounds like a member of some kind of royal dynasty
"He succeeded his father, Pigfoot IV, after the old king was pecked to death by wild starlings on a hunting trip."
How do you start a royal dynasty?
I'd be well up for that. Wanna be my Queen?
Just so you know,
I'm not coming.
Why would you not do that?
I have lots of minus money
I was actually planning to come down, but I'll get my first pay the day after it and that'll all go to my mum because I've borrowed £200 off her. I'll come to the next proper Zonino, I hope.
you need to get that £200
back off your scummy mate!
Well that's not going to happen between now and the end of the month
if it ever does. If it does, I'll have about £40 and I won't mind going into my overdraft because more will be on the way. And then I might. It's all hinging on him.
can't we all gang up
and threaten him. I know we're all massively feable geeks, but surely our sheer numbers will terrify him.
Yeah, he lives on the docks
Unless he's gone home for summer. Just march around near North of the airport chanting for my money back. You can all go round Maxster's for squash after - he lives two minutes down the road.
I'll wear one if you will
