Heartland

It's starting to look as if there is another Mc Heartland Invasion is brewing on the 22nd of September. And it promises to be even more massive, as Claire has also expressed an interest in coming over (for no other purpose than the gig, I'm sure ). Doin' a Jocko head count displays the following result :

Brer Jam~es
Big 'Yin' Si
Scotty
Claire

And I'm hoping The Blackest Beard Of Them All, Andrew S, will be joining them as well. This damn near doubles the Invasion Force's size compared to last time, so I'm assuming it'll result in twice the fun! And Scotty : wee dawnie from The Other Place will be coming over from Slovenia as well. This is going to be an international affair, methinks...

As far as sleeping arrangements go, we'll have some things sorted out by Saturday. If anyone would like a hotel, let me know before Friday and give me the exact date of arrival and departure. So far, I have James' and Si's dates. We can probably sort out some good rates because of NFD coming over...

By the way, presale tickets will be available from www.fnac.be from tomorrow and will cost €13,00 (0,50 reservation cost). For those who don't want to pay the reservation cost : just let me know and I'll make a list so you can get your tickets at the door. I don't expect this even to be sold out, but better safe than sorry, I say...

Blast! and Thi Big Yin will be having a few words in some Belgian shell-likes on thi Friday nicht, a sell oot with an angry baying mob of 'no in thi kno' people ootside is prophesied

a quick heid count, jist frae here would go summat like this:
Andrew
Big Si
Blast!
Christophe
Claire
Iz
Joery
Kaat
Koen
Libby
Pat
Scotty
Zed

we have a coven

More than a coven, even : I'm quite certain Stefke Moermans will be coming too.

Cool dudes & dudettes! Looking good

About those tickets then. Are you guys gonna print real cool ticks (I dunno, maybe designed by the mythical Blast Productions ) for the nite? If so, I'm gonna want one like that! If not, then those fnac 'middle of the road' tickets might be an option too.

I was listening to ARF's version of a forest this morning (it was on repeat and it was just purfect to eaze my hangover from yesterday eve's drink with the locals...) and I think it's really, really great! Not easy to do something with an absolute classic like that, but man does this deliver or what?! Top work, Raf & co. Class

Thanks Mon but Harbinger are the art geniuses behind ARF!visuals, Blast Productsâ„¢ are just ideas men.
You are 100% right about Ar Forest, it really is outstanding. I feared the worst, shoulda ken'd better.

Aye, put me down for a ticket along with Blast and Scotty (and Claire?) too!

Any news on those ARF! T-Shirts you mentioned awhile back, you said they would probably be available at the gig

Cannae wait, even if it does mean meeting up with mybelgiannemesis

Considering I am now becoming very adept at destroying stuff with a rather big and heavy hammer (see the 'photographs' thread for some action shots)...


... I predict a quiet riot...

Consider it done, Big Yin. As for those t- shirts, I'll have more details on them next week. We've run into a big of a snag on them, which means a delay in getting them ready, but they will be available on the 22nd for sure, and hopefully a bit ahead of that time. Right now, I'm aiming for mid- August, but I'll keep y'all posted on the goings on.
And yer Belgian nemesis might bark, but he doesnae bite and you can even pet him (if you buy him a drink, that is)...

Buy him? He owes me a few Duvel's for the damage his "electronic noise" has done to my eardrums of late

Where am I staying then?

and me?

Good to hear you'll be there as well Keef....!

James Blast wrote:I think they've taken a dip...

Why?

A quick updated head count :

Big Si
Blast!
Christophe
Claire
Iz
Joery
(Kaat)
Koen
Libby
Pat
Sam
Scotty
Stefke M.
Zed
(Zuma)

I put Zuma between brackets as it's not confirmed he's coming (fingers crossed!) and Kaat because of her pregnancy (the wee 'un would be subjected to good choons in that there womb, though ). Andrew sadly can't make it. If everyone can confirm their attendance, I'll make up a list with your names so you can get your tickets immediately at the door...

I confirm very much, thank you

Hereby confirmed....

IZ.

And a plus one for my mate Louis who'll be having a bunch of us to stay at his (if possible, the plus one that is)
