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 :lol:

Probably not on a Tuesday, there's not much happens on that day of the week...


Though.. I might have a connection for a techno party on a boat...

Been getting SMSs about it for the past three weeks...

I viewed a flat yesterday...I'll be completely unpacked there before the gig because they gave me the keys today!! I'll have to have a word with von at the gig though because he kept stabbing me in the leg while i was dragging some of my stuff up there (floodland cd was sticking into my leg and i swear everytime i looked down he was mocking me!).
The flat backs on to a crematorium aswell! gothic or what :wink: :lol: :lol: makes me scared to go outside in the dark.
I've also found out my net provider doesn't serve that area so ill be saying goodbye to my daily visits to heartland and will only be able to come on on college days :evil: :evil:
But anyway due to the annoying need for a stupid ammount of money when one moves into a flat I'll probably be the one with only enough money to buy herself 2 cans...dammit :( But its the sisters so ill just get high off the atmosphere of course :D

sadly the chances of them being ready tuesday are not looking good :| :urff: :(

and i think i'll wear by blades top ;) :lol: :von: :notworthy:
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....


:lol:
how about a dukla prague away kit?

Awww ~ Mrs Hellboy & i moved flats last month, so i understand & feel your pain! Anyhow, we're back in the black (how goth) so if we see you, your can quotient will rise to 3 each ;)

Keep an eye on the bruise ~ maybe on the morning of the gig, it will look curiously like The Face Of :von: !!!

Have i mentioned recently how excited i am about SISTERS on May 2nd? Hmmm? Well? Have i ??? Next thing, K9 will be returning to Dr Who......... :D

I never realised how difficult it was starting a home from scratch aswell! I have a new found respect for my dad for moving all our stuff down south in a car while we were at our nans up north! Our diet currently consists of just pot noodles as we only have a kettle! :lol:
It sucks that my wireless broadband doesnt cover the new area so I have to leave the omp at home...less religious heartland visiting :(

thanks for the offer :kiss: I hope to meet everyone regardless as I get on so well with u all :D hope your new flat was woth it! I think you'll agree though that the good thing about moving to a flat now is that we're so occupied that it isnt hell waiting for the gig :D
Your exitement is very shared..I was doing a countdown to the gig but it was left at 6 when we found out we had to move :lol:..I suppose I can restart it at 3!
Oh and I found SSV whilst packing everything away..I don't know if that could be called a good thing though...

If you look hard enough you could maybe make out the new merciful release :lol: Maybe in true von style I should sue him for damages :lol: :lol:

yeah, they charge a fair bit though. I think last time I went it was something like 2 quid maybe? And I left my cigarettes in my bag by mistake so I had to get my bag back and then pay all over again :roll:
