Mrs knees she say yes.
But with 3 important provisios
1) No chatting up young women
2) No getting off with young women
3) No kissing
I asked and I am allowed to kiss Bamos as I pointed out it was his Birthday.
Mrs Knees will be checking up on me on the website afterwards, so I would ask you all to be vigilant on the night and ensure Mrs Knees comandments are kept, keep me out of trouble, as alcahol can disinhibit me.
yay!
we'll make sure you don't do any of these things. Promise!
yes we will
and then we'll pretend you have on the boards afterwards so you get in trouble anyway. muahahahaha etc...
(only kidding)
isn't there a ist of who is going
somewhere?
GET IN!!!
c-c-c-c-chuffed!
Are you allowed to be kissed against your will? Wish to join the tequilla crew.
yes
http://www.drownedinsound.com/event/attendees/14193
I went to all the trouble to find that
so I'm going to post it anyway, even though its already been posted!
http://drownedinsound.com/event/attendees/14193
Heh.
Brilliant. The wise and famous creakyknees steps in.
Hmm
She didnt mention anything about boys who look li.....
I will certainly enjoy watching a young adonis facing a gnarled old codger in a tequila contest, as I am sure many are, when are you and Marco 'doing it' exactly?
the tequilla challenge
is at 10pm in the barfly.
I will DESTROY you.
:-)
What time you getting down creaky?
you're gonna get done like three piece jig-saw!
dont know yet
maybe I will drive there after work in norwich try to find somewhere to park up and kip in the car afterwards, although I do not understand how the congestion charge works? maybe I will get there between 2.pm and 7pm
not after five or six or seven or eight or sommat.
BUT
i don't think camden is in it and it's not on the weekends.
I am very much looking
forward to it and meeting you all, I like the mackabees but dont know the other bands.
Mrs Knees seems to think that I have to go and buy some clothes so I can go to the ball, I am suggesting that it is not necessary to be smart, if a few of you could comment on the sort of thing they will be wearing, on this post, then that might convince her that it is not necessary.
It might also allay her (understandable worry) if you could all introduce yourselves with a little spiel on this post...thank you

I think I will be wearing a red bag and red shoes but I'm not sure what else yet... actually that place is diiirrrty so I might not wear the red shoes coz they'll get trashed.

My name is Mark Ralph, im 21 yrs of age and am a stockbroker from Beckenham, SE London.
6'2", 14 stone, size 10
I will be rocking Black Flag and quite possibly taking some snaps of your muglies. You just HAVE to meat me.
how many "My War" shirts do you have Ralph?
I really want one but for some reason all TROO PUNX are XL only nowadays :(
i think hardcore died in the US because the 14 year olds were too small for the cool shirts.
they had to make them SUPER BIG
to fit around henry rollins' neck, see.
i see your point.
i never really liked rollins anyway :(
you should watch my "punk attitude DVD"
wot i got today. henry rollins is HILARIOUS. there's an interview with him and he just talks for like FOUR HOURS about himself and how he's 43 years old and still says FUCK YOU! he also said something AMAZING but i forgot what it was. :D
how very helpful of you :D
now i want to know what he said :(
it was something like
"ian mackaye was straightedge but FUCK THAT MAAAAAAN, i'm FORTY THREE and i was in BLACK FLAG. KEITH MORRIS HAD NOTHING ON ME RAR!"
or something. i paraphrased.
hahah
rollins is so sxey...
i have that dvd
best bit is when hes desribing nu metal
"if i was 17, itd be a no brainer. thatd be my favourite music in teh world...l the little rappy bits then when that guitar comes in WHOAHHHHH".
Ron Reyes was my fav Flag frontman!!
I_Deserve: I got all my flag tees from the SST shop bit in Lou's records in San D, CA. Seen some pretty rad ones on ebay recently - there are always Slip It In ones available. I have the blue My War and its the best thing i own. ever. and the evrything went black. 27th love.
So If I'm liek 45
and still say F**k Y** does that leik make me cooler or harder than him?
(I use asterixes cos I am at work and I suspect I may be being monitored, I will prove on Friday that I can say it properly......also I can blow up a hot water bottle(I think rollins sometimes does that...doesn't he?))
I may not have his bulging neckline but am far more graceful and lithe than he.
said in the voice of Paxman
come on come on

You all seem to be quite lovely!

Lohollzors. I picture Marco and CreakyKnees sat around drinking tea through the day, and staying in when the rest go out, for an early night... for Strictly Come Dancing or something.
Sorry, but it is a funny thought.

Hey Wrighty why don't you come along, it would be interesting

My name is Marilyninthesky.
I am 21 years old.
I have no job at present, but I like to photocopy, and I occasionally do low-budget films. Hopefully I'll get paid one day.
I have size 5 feet.
I have kissed many different things in many different places.
I went through many different stages in my teenage years. One of the most disturbing was my self-piercing and tattooed stage.
I used to post beermats, with my phone number through James Dean Bradfield's door every weekend when I went shopping near Blackwood.
I will be wearing:-
I'm not sure yet. I have no idea. May involve red lipstick and a hipflask attached to my leg.
Or may involve badly drawn on Bowie style make up.
Oh, and my red kallabah braclet. Maybe even a bindi.
I have a free house the whole weekend and I hope to fill it with people and alcohol.
Thank you
Marilyninthesky.
in truth
I’ll be drinking tequila all day while smoking copious amounts of cannabis resin and snorting loads of amphetamine just to keep me upright.
Is that ok wrighty?
You
under-cover LOVER, YOU!
seeings as I've stopped lurking...
My name is Fiona
I am 20
I am a politics student and admin thingy
I like to think I'm 5ft5
I weigh less than I did in the summer
I have size 7 feet
I am currently only kissing one man
I don't really want to grow up
I will be wearing (providing the arctic conditions don't continuue) the most incredible polka dot dress in the world ever, it has a big red ribbon round my waist. And is strapless. And better than everything.
And various red accent items.
I (sadly) won't be carrying a man bag.
Im not 100% sure im coming but...
My name is Ferg
I yam 20
I work in a school during the day and am currently awaiting the start of a Philosophy degree
Im around 5ft 10 and weigh around 10 1/2 stone
I have size 10 feet
I would like to kiss a girl but unfortunately (not that its bad) I seem to attract men and not women
I will probably be wearing the same brown jacket and jeans that I wear every day.
You'd better be fucking coming
BIGMAN!!
I will troll you forever otherwise.
So consider yourself warned.
;-)
anyone else
Slightly nervous? I feel like I have motion sickness in my tummy.
i am slighty
but nothing a few drinks won't sort.
i've done too many of these things to get nervous about them any more
you get used to it :D
this one is quite massive though.
*fear*
Ok Ok!
I decided not to buy a Morrissey ticket the other day, so I have some pounds. Pounds I will spend on Friday.
I'll bear that in mine
When I set up a tab in your name.
mind*
bleh
I'm so fucking nervous
My bender has started.
not bender
As in 'that' like. You know. hoe hum
"wrightylew (definitely)"
*chortle*
I lied
I have no pounds
just notes
eh;)
love notes
they dont really have any monetary value though
i'm EXCITED
but probably nearer the time i will get scared.
Have you met many DiSers wishpig?
yes
lots
oh, ok
i just assumed that you hadn't on account of you being based in Scotland.
I've only met Soapy and that's it.
Browno has watched me at gigs but was too scared to approach me?!?!?!
Don't exaggerate!
It's only happened once! (That you know of ;-D)
hahah
Didn't you see me at Pat Wolf and Malcolm Middleton?
Nah, just Wolf
I heard stevierob at Mew with his Paddy McAloon-based heckling, but that doesn't count...
Ha
yeah that's right. I've bought my tickets for the Go-Team (did you say you were going?). I'm mainly going for the support - The Grates.
Yeah I'm going
I'll try and seek you out this time. I don't know the Grates. What they like? (And beware, I'm on my guard after the Wolf Eyes debacle!)
The Grates
are an Aussie band. They released a single on Captains of Industry last year and are releasing an album soon.
http://www.thegrates.com/
an album soon !
good news !
Maybe
He was scared you would open your mouth and only punctuation would come out.
falafeROFLol
that was actually
quite funny
or maybe it was the whole constant tequila slamming and amphetamine snorthing thing
mentioned above.
Only on special occasions
i haven't been to a gig drunk in about 2 years so this one should be interesting.
please don't hurt me
only if you ask...
nicely
I can't wait
Mike lemme sit on your face sugarlipz
Can one-liner fake profiles just stick to one line?
I'm a little bit tense
though there's no reason to be. I've met disers before and they are all very nice. I think it's the thought of going out on my own.
we'll look after you!
um, are any girls coming NOT wearing polka dot dresses? We're all going to look like Pipettes!
yeah
i may wear something different.
I'm not wearing
A polka dot dress. I have done in the past. I'm not sure what I'm wearing. All I know is I'm very, very scared.
why scared, Maz?
you've got me! We can do more dancing...
Why are you scared, people?
It's basically a big piss-up/love-in full of good music and friendly people.
Am I not allowed
to be scared? What is this? Christ. I'm scared, but it doesn't mean that I'm not excited too.
Sorry
Argh. Night.
Er
um.
yeah.
nothing.
i love
mine too much.
And to be fair, you can't beat polka dot dresses.
unless it's still this cold, in which case I may wear a ski suit of sorts.
I am scared
and excited too, I havn't been out to somewhere I really want to got to with to meet people I want to meet for over 12 years....12 years, and I've never actually met any of you yet you've all met loads
If someone could lend me a polka dot dress then
there would be no pippette confusion on the night
Will I be shunned as I
won't be wearing polka dots and don't even have 50 posts to my name?
Post 3 more times
Get some polka dots (Male = no excuse), and then we'll talk.
I like the sound
of this, its a challenge involving posting and finding polka dot clothes. What more could a man want.
That's the spirit
If more people had your can-do attitude, this country wouldn't be such a mess.
Thankyou and by replying
you are making my target of 50 seem esaily achievable. At this rate i might reach the dizzying heights of 53 posts before i go to bed
It's a team game.
Since I can't go to this shindig, I'm living vicariously, by trying to put those who can attend at their ease. It's a free service. By the way, what number comes after 49 again?
the big 5 O
thankyou browno for you help in reaching the tiny milestone of 50 posts, now all i need to do is go and find that polka dot shirt and i will be all set for my friday night adventure in the big smoke.
*High-fives h_o*
It's all part of of the service. Though I'm afraid you're entirely on your own as regards the polka dots.
straight back at you with the high-fives browno
i had been searching for direction in life, that direction is obviously polka dots.
the first of many millstones
i hope...........congratulations.............
thankyou creakyknees
I JUST SAW CREAKYKNEES!
Oh my
huhh?
??? are you in norwich? or did you just dream about me?
Ohh
right
I will pull an angry face at anyone in polka dresses.
Anyone not in polka dresses i'll pull your face...
I'll definitely be in one
I shall smile sweetly at your angry face.
And after I did the wogan and everything
No more requests now. I'm sticking your face on Jimmy Carr...
>:-O
Actually I'm not, because I'm nice. Hmmph.
they're only
very small polka dots...
YAY!
that is all.
No wait, GROOOZE!
The Grooze
night is the night after, dumbass.
GROOZE????
this is one in-joke that's flying like a kestral over me.
Do you regularly get followed by kestrals?
Because I have that problem too. Not only do our user names look vaguely familiar at a quick glance, but we also have kestral issues. I feel a bond
Finally I feel I can bond with someone.
Yes I do have about 4 of them who follow me. They do protect me from thrush though.
Sorry about the bad joke there...
It's agreed then
The Anti Kestral Alliance aka The AKA is born
It's a weekend of GROOZE
I shoulda put that on your flyer,POINTDEXTER.
I can't believe I've just sat and read all this thread
...and I'm not even going!
well done
it must be galling to read about another 'London' thing....it normally is for me, except for this one time.
Do you meet with many Scottish Disers....I mean Wishpig is leik in Edinburgh now isn't she?
Have met none
I nearly met Wishpig and PV. They came up to Cadd at Melt Banana, hastily introduced themselves, then ran away, completely ignoring me, even though I was sitting right beside him. Must have been one of my invisible days.
Nobody from message boards EVER talks to me. They always say afterwards...oh yes, I saw you there taking photos... but never come up to say hello at the time :-(
aww Coastal
can't you venture down tomorrow? We'll all be super friendly!
haha
I would if I wasn't too skint, too busy and working...
Parking advice needed
....coming from Norwich....can anyone recomend practically how close I might be able to park my car to chalk farm?
thank you
