Greetings all.............i've been away/busy blah,blah,blah up off the carpet and down from curtain. Thought i'd join in on the pre-gig drink discussion. I think Ben Crouch is a good idea (though i've never been), as i know The George IS pretty boring

Looking forward to a few pre-gig beers and chats about gigs of yesteryear 1983-2003. Oooo So old.

Ben Crouch Pub thingie?

Between 3 and 4 pm?

For A Beer?

That'll be Mr + Mrs Streamline asking for reserved seats!

(does that make 9 peeps?)

I'm the old git in the black velvet jacket - if you can't get dressed up for a Sissies gig when can you?!

Maybe Quiffie will have completed the Heartland t-shirts by then?

I think i'm gonna be the oldest git. Dunno what i'll be wearing......perhaps dig out an old Ramones t-shirt. One that's a bit bigger than my son's new wardrobe addition

Beaten by 3 at the off - bugger!

I suppose we can all chat about O' Levels (when exams at 16 were actually worth something

)

daggs · 25 Apr 2006, 18:44

theres no such thing as a gcse, damn things change every year

anywayyyy....I can't come to crouch's due to the need to save money for pre sisters pints in the venue and my lessons

you guys better bump into me at the astoria

but I've managed to blag my history teacher into letting me leave a whole 30 mins early

extra queing time...yay! not that I'm planning on getting to the front, that would mean being unable to get to the bar even through the support

That may make me seem less of a hardcore fan but I wanna see that mad light show with a few drinks in me

even the back of the venue is pretty damn close to the front...only less crowded

von will love it, maybe you had better be at the back! unless I'm right at the front i see nothing but the light show anyway, being abit of a short arse.
You'll spot me as I'll be the mad shortarse with the new merciful release tatoo in some mad black and purple dress and with a pint of strongbow in my hand for most of the time....and probably being lifted up by the massive (to me anyway) bloke that is my bf...I did his back in at the last gig we went to

by the way it's after midnight so I thought I'd get in there early with 6.....

You won't get a pint in the Astoria, cans only. Very expensive cans at that

. You might be better off getting some in elsewhere beforehand.

Well in keeping with the sports theme and the fact that others have threatened to wear St Pauli tops.. I might as well wear my Helsinki Jokerit ice hockey top!

NO-one will be wearing one of those....

I hope!

3 quid for a Red Stripe when I was there the other day for Primal Scream.... hence the afternoon off to get some in at Ben Crouch's

(Although 3 quid an't that bad raaaaahnd here)

WARM cans too!

WARNING: Does anyone know if there's any club nite afterwards? I was at the Astoria in Feb watching The Rakes and they started VERY early because straight after, The Astoria "changed" into G.A.Y. and it was Brokeback-Mountain-Night.............full of chaps

Delilah · 26 Apr 2006, 17:35
