okay dudes, here's the THIRD thread, thanks to ilx breaking. let's get drinks or something thursday night, the 7th. still working on where but near beggars offices is preferable since i'm lazy and will probably be drinking with people anyway.

somewhat related: who is going to atp? anyone?

Me! Me and the mister are going to ATP with Mr & Mrs Aldo Cowpat. This ATP is a bit difficult to organise places to meet up as no-one's been to this place before. However, I am sure we will arrange something, somehow. Just don't leave it to me to do it.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 27 November 2006 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

ah cool, well we should definitely get some drinx at the resort. what other shit is there to do there?

There's a swimming pool with a raft ride. That's my hi-jinks sorted for the weekend :-)

http://www.atpfestival.com/events/nightmare/event_information.php

Onsite facilities include a cinema, Splash Water World - a sub-tropical environment that has a huge wave pool, a swimming pool, 3 flumes and also a flume based raft ride - Ten-pin bowling and amusement arcade. Sports include Archery, Football, Basketball, Darts, Petanque, Fencing, Kwik Cricket, Netball, Rounders, Table Tennis, Outdoor Bowls and Crazy Golf.

Also four pubs outwith the bits where the bands are on. Oh yeah, and some bands.

Other ILX people I know who are going are Andrew Farrell, g-kit and Lixi. I'm sure there are others too, but I can't remember without the benefit of the other thread.

― Ward Fowler, Monday, 27 November 2006 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

You can communicate them to me via the magic of text message and I shall pass them on. Except my phone won't work in the raft-ride-flume-thing.

Ward, you are a man of desperation!

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

that's the one thing i won't miss about ATP: the tortuous logistics involved in that whole business if you're flying. seriously: my underpants got involved one year. [shudder]

Dare is coming, and continuing her tour of London's poshest hotels, but she still doesn't know her schedule yet. Repeat, the joys on offer are:

6th December: Shimura Curves/Pamphlet at the Social

So anyway, PUB on the 7th then? Original suggestion was Waterloo right? There are vague plans to later on go and see either Black Devil Disco Club at Plastic People or Magda at the T-Bar but neither should interfere with fappage.

the east hill, in wandsworth. is that convenient? i have no idea.

― hstencil not logged in, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I like the idea of drinking in SW, but SW18 is some *SERIOUS* SW.

I don't even know if that's on my train line.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I think you might have trouble getting a lot of people that far west, and its not especially convenient for the Tube. But I personally have no real problems with going there.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

But yeah, Clapham Junction is maybe 5-10mins from Waterloo on the train.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't know where i'm even staying yet.

just found out that one of my bands is playing the 2nd atp weekend in may, so hopefully i'll be back for that too.

How about a Clapham FAP? I could get home on the bus from that!

g-kit, aldo said I should should get your mobile number (he's away other places Doing Important Work Stuff right now and won't be back until just before ATP). So yeah, email me yr mobile number and we can meet up and drink stuff.

That goes for other people going to ATP. Email people numbers, people. Let's be organised!

Stence - realistically speaking, any FAPs that take place outside of Zone 1 tend to be pretty, erm, select affairs. There's a lot to be said for keeping things central.

Obv this depends on where you're staying, whether or not you want to stay drinking with Beggars ppl etc.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i didn't realize it wasn't zone 1. i know fuck all about your city so if someone has some better ideas and suggestions, this is the thread! don't know what i'm doing work-wise either but i'll try to get any meetings and what not sorted before friday.

I've asked that this thread title be changed for any future ATP FAP plans too. I am hoping some beering will ensue.

so i guess someone else has the hstencil name registered, so i was locked outta this thread. great. anyway, still getting in wednesday morning. what's the plan? what's a convenient place to go? i know where i'm staying, but not what part of london, so i'll try to find that out tomorrow.

Trekking down to wandswort is Ok but Waterloo might make a better location, how about:

http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub1008.html

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 December 2006 07:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah Waterloo makes sense - easy for Stence to get in from Wandsworth and central enough for everyone else. I'm not familiar with the White Hart (although for a second I got it confused with the Wellington, which is horrible).

Looks good though, although you can't go wrong with the King's Arms either, especially for biggish groups.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 4 December 2006 09:23 (seventeen years ago) link

That looks like a better choice.

Selfishly, I would approve of a pub near Waterloo on the basis that I have my Finnish exam earlier on that night in the area and might be in desperate need of a strengthening pint after all that I sauna, you sauna, he/she/it saunas etc etc.

Kentish Town is the middle of nowhere! Wandsworth much better!

(warning: Sarf London prejudice may be speaking there.)

I have finally heard from Dare! I may not be around on Thursday night. But if I'm not around on Thursday night, that means I'll be at the festival. We are trying to coordinate. I hope she can come to our gig, too!

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

that puts you not incredibly close to the FAP but at least you're on the right tube line! (i.e. the Northern Line, i.e. the Black One; just remember to travel down via Charing Cross, not Bank (the Northern Line splits in two for awhile, before joining back up with itself))

time: 6:00?

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 4 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Kentish Town is in the borough of Camden which is north of Proper Central London - it's on one branch of the Northern Line, just up from Camden Town. If you were going to there from the Beggars' offices you'd probably be required to change at Waterloo anyway.

I also planned to spend this weekend preparing the house for my mum's visit the week after!

ah okay i think waterloo might be the best idea, then. 6 or 7? which pub? i think some beggars people + bands might stop by as well.

anybody going to the 6 organs of admittance show on wednesday at cargo?

wait kate so now you're going to atp? cool!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

No, no one is doing anything on Wednesday except seeing SHimura Curves at the Social! ::stamps feet::

I don't know yet. Dare doesn't know if they are leaving for Minehead on Thursday or Friday. If it's Thursday, I may not be able to go, due to getting time off work. Which means that I would come to your FAP. If they go down Thursday evening, or Friday, I'll be going down with them.

Ha ha, we won't be at the holiday camp, we'd be at some posh hotel, which might be missing the point a bit. But still. I'm not going to say no to free tickets and a ride down on the tourbus!

I haven't seen Dare in AAAGES. Hanging out with her is clearly WAAAAAAYYYYY more important than work, tho. ;-)

i didn't realize you had a show wednesday, kate! where is it at? maybe, depending, i can make both. not sure. i think 6oa kinda depends on whether i can get in touch with ben in time to get in on the list.

looks like i'm not staying at the holiday camp, but at a b&b nearby with friends, at something like $50 a night (which don't hurt a bit).

How easy is it to get KX->Waterloo at 6pm ish? Is it going to be mad on the tube?

Stence, I've told you, like, three times already on various threads that we have a show on Wednesday!

At the Social (Little Portland Street). Which kinda sucks as a venue, but it's really central, and I think the show is free.

Kings X to Waterloo = the Northern Line which is always shit as a tube line anyway. But it shouldn't be too bad, and it gets better slightly after rush hour so by 6 it might be doable.

kings x and waterloo are on diff nline branches, yes: quickest option by tube is probably piccadilly line to leicester square, then northern line to waterloo. but it'll be pretty packed at 6ish, still.

Proper SE London is Elephant & Castle and beyond. Waterloo is still Central London, it just happens to be south of the river. Might as well claim Soho is North London.

It's at Barden's in Stoke Newington. It's a playhouse-like venue under a furniture warehouse. Still tickets, I think.

It's got to be homemade moussaka every time.

I suppose I should post a cordial hello to this thread. I am the mysterious fourth element in the Poo chalet. I am also quite excited about this whole business. What with having not had a real holiday this year, having never been to ATP before, and seeing most of my favourite bands in one weekend, my expectations are through the roof!

There are some very minor time changes on the ATP main site, but they are quite helpful to me. Major Stars moving to Sunday means I will not have to leave the main stage at all on Friday! The Friday line-up is insane. And I'll have been awake since 6am. Being at work seems like such an irrelevance this week.

24. MONORALE

― davidcarp (davidcarp), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

http://www.butlinsmemories.com/7ea3bf40.jpg

The other Butlin's monorail opened at the Minehead camp on 13th May 1967. Running on a shorter half-mile run, the track formed a figure-of-eight loop taking in the Princess and Regency buildings. Construction took 4 months and the track varied from 16ft to 30ft above ground level. The tracks crossed each other on an impressive structure located above the outdoor swimming pool. A pair of 40-seat trains provided the service and only one station was built, this being situated to the rear of the Princess building. The Minehead monorail closed following an accident during the summer of 1996. One train ran into the back of another and 7 people received minor treatment. Butlins were fined a total of £22,500. The cost to upgrade the system was thought too high, so the monorail was closed for good. The structure remained in place for another two years before being torn down during the winter of 1998. The area where the trains crossed is now home to the Skyline Pavillion.

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, that was fun. Despite the DDBs monopolising Stence for THE ENTIRE NIGHT but that's OK because they're some of my favourite DDBs and I got to exchange horrible soundman and horrible "oh noes we work for bankers!" stories with one of my fave bands in London. Yay. Being an Early Doors person, I had the best harem evah for a while.

Did Stence ever come out and party after I left?

I know TISSP made his train but will he ever get his wallet back? (Will he ever get his dignity back after I turned him over my knee and spanked him?)

(Also, Louis Jagger is being a total sweetie IRL shockah!)

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, Stence did come out and we tried to set the problems o the world right although we still could not find three generations of pop-stars from the same family that complied with the rules.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Did the DDBs stick around?

(I heart them, I really do. As Stence said "Yeah, actually, they are the most *Kate* band in the world ever..." I hope he takes them to NYC and makes them big stars.)

*Three* generations? Has pop been around long enough? Does Nancy Sinatra have any sprogs?

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Whitney Houston's family must be in there somewhere.

She's always a quarter-tone flat on the high notes, I hear. ;-)

Country music families and the 3-gen rule, hwever, take yer pick.

Great to finaly meet the Stence.

I had much fun, good to sink a few beers with Stence and meet Louis at last. Srsly though, the Wildhearts?

ya srsly.

hi everyone, had a great time at the pub, and at atp too! sorry i missed the fap there, as i couldn't check my email from thursday on. but i did meet colonel poo and andrew, and saw some great shit. good times, great oldies.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Sunday, 10 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

so how were the dead c?

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 11 December 2006 10:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The Dead C were great, but not as good as the MC5 battling on with no PA. Colonel Poo got hit over the head with a chair during Negative Approach, he seemed to think this was one of the highlights of his weekend...

Sorry about missing The Day The Bowling Turned Dayglo last night. And sorry for missing Stence.

The All-new Sandbox ATP thread where we actually talk about bands and shit and not just FAPs, but probably mostly talk about Foundation's incompetence.

― much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 11 December 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i was sorry not to fap w/ hstencil and everyone, ailsa v. kindly texted me, but a) I got caught up in the plans and schemes of my london friends, who i hadn't seen for a few months and had been missing terribly, and b) after three months enforced abstinence, access to v. gd h3mp meant i was at last truly on the right vibrational plane to appreciate mouthus et al

i don't expect a fest in the uk to ever have such gd music again so i can't see myself going back to an ATP - shame, cos the chalets were actually WARM in this place

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

the dead c. were fucking awesome.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Why the fuck did I miss Gang of Four? I well up every time I think of it.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 08:51 (seventeen years ago) link

By the way, before this slips into the archives, I wanted to say that everyone I met and FAPed with was thoroughly nice.

Other non-music related ATP stuff:
Ward Fowler, I smoked yr w33|) last night.
Did I mention that I won TWO Sonics in ONE grab?
I won my pie-eating contest.
Guinness and Lime is strangely drinkable.
I discovered that I can, in fact, be late for pretty much anything.
The arcades at Butlins need more focus.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 10:09 (seventeen years ago) link

We won Vicky Pollard and Daffyd keyrings from the 10p falls machine. I really wish I'd played the percussion machine. I was a bit miffed that the big raft ride was off. Bowling to Jesus Built My Hotrod = teh awesome. Being designated as the barometer of crapness at bowling = not quite so much.

I am the worst air-hockey player in the world, as Andrew F will testify.

And Guinness and lime is weird and pointless.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 10:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Damn, we spent ages staring at that percussion game, too, only to be intimidated into leaving it well alone.
Maybe they should've had a little Pontins bear standing there going "Sorry Kits, Your Balls Need to be THIS BIG to play this game."

― teh_kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 10:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I think everyone spent ages staring at it, it was in prime Really Long Queue spot. Next time!

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 10:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still sore.

Great meeting everyone, had a fucking fantastic time all weekend.

I missed the goth bowling FAP but we had our own on Sunday afternoon, they played Bela Lugosi's Dead again for us.

Guiness and lime was strangely enjoyable!

I have finally realised who Jerome myopic_void reminds me of: Doctor Gonzo's attorney from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 13:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, dude - that's pretty much the vibe I was feeling by Sunday night! Thanks to all here for their warmth and collaboration in what was a fairly unbelievable weekend! It seemed pretty clear by the second day that this was something the like of which might not be seen again, musically at least. That was maybe the only problem I had with it - that there was so much going on that there was very little time for general hanging out and taking stock. Just relentless. I had a blast. Hope you all did too.

(I'll be posting some of my comments on the bands over on (fake) ILM at some point soon.)

Haha! Now that you mention it...

That was maybe the only problem I had with it - that there was so much going on that there was very little time for general hanging out and taking stock.

OTM! I'm not exactly sure why it seemed so manic this time. The whole weekend seemed to go by in a flash, though I remember at most previous years' ATPs, we spent a lot of time hanging out etc.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 13:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, hanging out time was at a premium. Partly, I think, because of proximity of town --> time off camp.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link

four years pass...

wow

― remy bean in exile, Monday, 28 November 2011 11:56 (twelve years ago) link

this thread is exactly 5 years old today

― remy bean in exile, Monday, 28 November 2011 11:56 (twelve years ago) link

Hah, I checked my phone last week and found I still have numbers for "ILX Colonel Poo" "ILX David Core", "ILX Jerome Void"

― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 28 November 2011 13:38 (twelve years ago) link

ha! That was never five years ago, was it? Blimey.

― ailsa, Monday, 28 November 2011 14:06 (twelve years ago) link

while there's an ATP-ish thread on S(andbox)NA... is anyone else coming to Nightmare Before Christmas this year?
