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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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?
