I think I'll have quite my fill of Iguanas this weekend, thanks.

i wanna come to this. but @sim is flying in from pakistan today (hurrah!) and i dunno what he's gonna want to do. typically he has given me 0 details about anything - "oh, i'm landing some time on tuesday. i'll call you when i get there" - but i'll see if he fancies coming out.

― emsk ( emsk ), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i like the turn this thread has taken.

I would attend the FAP, but got myself Wolf Eyes/dilloway/Damion Romero/Sudden Infant tickets, thinking I'd blown the chance of scoring tickets. Also Dead C tickets. No bad thing...

wait, waht?!?!? when is sudden infant playing?!?!?!?

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

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

His live shows are great. I must have seen him supporting more bands over the last year than anyone else. Always a spectacle.

― davidcarp (davidcarp), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

is it thursday night? dang, i can't really skip out on my own fap, but i had known i probably would've opted for wednesday fap (skipping six organs of admittance) and thursday sudden infant. oh wells.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I might skip it anyway. My ears'll be taking a battering as it is. Plus, my girlfriend promised a moussaka.

― davidcarp (davidcarp), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― myopic_void (myopic_void), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

We can only hope for a last-minute announcement that Captain Beyond have been added to Friday's line up.

"poo chalet"

― davidcarp (davidcarp), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

man i'm getting stoked. got the web site for the b&b i'm staying at, it looks foine.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

a last-minute announcement that Captain Beyond have been added to Friday's line up

That would possibly lead to some spontaneous combustion on my part.

"poo chalet"

See ya there!

― myopic_void (myopic_void), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay!

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I fear this festival may be wasted on me. I've not even heard of half the bands...

Ah well, at least I won't feel any pressure to run around and see everybody.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I was in the same situation at truck and discovered some delights.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

perfect opportunity to experience new things, kate!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

anybody tell tim hopkins and/or other ilxors that may not be on the sandbox about this?

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Not the LJ ghetto! I have emailed carsmile he can spread the word.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

great ed! thanks!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahaha Poo Chalet, we're in the Cowpat Chalet - there are jokes aplenty about this, I feel.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd read upthread but I have a brief respite in WORK NIGHTMARE and feel TOO MUCH LIKE SHIT to read it.

(ailsa I have your home email, I will respond in the morning)

HI DERE.

Yes you would be amazed how pub awareness spreads even when people aren't reading ILE.

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.

I actually went to that Minehead Butlins in 1990! It was horrible.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

i forgot my swimsuit for the waterslide. i guess me and iggy are just gonna skinny dip.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I place myself in the hands of ailsa (metaphorically speaking of course).

not the hands of iggy?

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:17 (seventeen years ago) link

dude i'm sorry i can't come; somehow i got confused and now i have to make cornbread in brixton!

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:27 (seventeen years ago) link

aw tracer, that's too bad. next time, buddy. i'm hoping i can get back in may of next year, we'll see.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry, I'm not going to be going to ATP now. Turns out the tourbus is leaving today at noon and not coming back until Monday. No way I could get that much time off work - and especially since I'm still not feeling entirely 100%.

I will try to drop in the FAP on the way home from work, but I don't think I'm up to drinking yet.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:35 (seventeen years ago) link

no worries, at least stop by, if you're not gonna drink! i just found out that negative approach is playing near where i'm staying tonight, but i doubt i'll make it, obv., since i'll be at the fap.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i went for a job interview at minehead butlins once, have i told you?

this would be 10 years ago and i think it was at it's scabbiest...

...i didn't get the job (sound tech, not red coat)

― CarsmileSteve (Carsmile Steve), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I am supposed to be drinking socially with people from the office tonight, but if not will drop in. (What else to I have to do?)

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i would like to say "i'm pleased to meet ya, mitya," so stop by!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:44 (seventeen years ago) link

So looks like I'll be there just after 6.30--who else will be there at this time (so I know who to look for)? Or am I going to be a big Billy No Mates for a while?

― tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I should be there by then or a little after.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I also have to leave just before 8, unfortunately. I don't trust the tube to get me back to KX if I leave any later than that--if I miss the train, then I'm fucked

― tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I should be along early as well, and leaving 'around' 9.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i have to pick up teh baby, won't make it. boo!

― emsk ( emsk ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Bring teh baby, feed it gin.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:46 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll be there wearing a grey shirt with white stripes, and a dead c. t-shirt underneath. i've actually invited a band i work with - the early years - to meet up there, since i haven't met them before, so i might spend a fair bit at the beginning talking with them, so don't take it as lex-style aloofness or anything.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah! The Early Years! I love them! They're lovely people - we played with them at the Truck Festival.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I will be there with my massive fuck off heavy backpack. And probably more layers than it's sensible to be wearing on the tube

― tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i am so stoked!
