Anyone in the midlands?

02:10 / 16.01.03

Seeing as Birmingham is a fairly big city, and the surrounding areas aren't deserted, I'm fairly sure there must more folk who live here than just me. Is anyone up for a night in the pub or something? I'd suggest a park and a kite but it's too damn cold just now.

I was in Birmingham the other day. What a terrifying place.

There are a number of Barbelith-folk there though. I nearly went to meet them once but couldn't..

Rollo Kim, on location

22:17 / 16.01.03

Have met up with the Brumbelith cell a number of times and they are 100% cool. Puck, Adamswish and Mr Y et all. Where are you now? On the eve of my dection from the mids to the south??? Keep pestering and they'll surface.

22:32 / 16.01.03

Im brummie born and bred and would be well up to meet other lithers around here, being new to the boards and all. Its my Bday on Sat if anyone needs an excuse and I'll be in town but unfortunatley not terribly coherent (hopefully.)

Pot.

22:44 / 16.01.03

Well I'm going to the flapper + firkin in town on saturday to see a few bands, so is anyone up for that? Else I'm happy to wander along to say happy birthday at some point.

Rollo are you deserting us and heading south then?

23:13 / 16.01.03

Yup Im up at the flapper then up to a club. Look for the ginger dread man with around 30 peeps around him.

23:51 / 16.01.03

bad use of around, sorry. Aside from this in the shameless promotion thread a couple of weeks ago I seem to remember mixmage sayin his band was playin the flapper on the 18th...

02:12 / 17.01.03

Despite having sighted Mr. Y and Puck one time ("halfway between the library and the bar"), I wasn't sure if I was the only Brumbelither around [cheers, Rollo Kim!]. I'd be most agreeable to any sort of meeting up type scenario.

and strangely enough...

Yeah... I'll be at the flapper. Just look for the first band on.
Club after, potguns? [happy birthday! I'll get ya a pint!]mmmmm-mighty tempting... just don't say Snobs. They know my beard... I won't get in without a shave!

11:22 / 17.01.03

There is almost certainly something on at the Medicine bar but I don't know what, and I can't find where to look. Any other suggestions?

What time is everyone getting to the flapper?

12:23 / 17.01.03

At last other brumaliths appear who I haven't dragged onto the board. Welcome aboard harmony good to have you here.

The flapper you say, now there's a place I haven't been to in an age. What the hell I'll be there. How does eightish grab everyone?

I'm easy to spot, just look for the tallest bloke with a shaved head and goatee. Possibly in a green parka, depending on the weather and all. Can't promise to go onto the club afters as it's a long way out to the sticks of an evening and a twenty quid cab ride (minimum).

And mage, when did snobs become anti-beards, or is there a deeper story here?

12:37 / 17.01.03

Ask Anansi!

No, not anti-beard. Just mine.

Rollo Kim, on location

13:11 / 17.01.03

That's it, you all get together on the day I leave why don't you? Bastards. I'm heading back to Brighton for a bit - no idea how long, couple of months minimum. Will be coming back for band related shenaniginses on and off. Enjoy Brum!!!!

13:11 / 17.01.03

Eightish upstairs sounds good, and fair enough about the transport. I don't live too far out so I could even walk it (but it would take an hour and a bit).

Well I'll try and remember to take a bright red scarf with me, and will probably have a big brown coat too. Also I'll probably look strangly un-rock for the flapper, just because my hair is a natural colour and I don't have a billion piercings or copious amounts of eyeliner.

15:32 / 17.01.03

sounds like a plan to me harmony.

chances are you'll spot me before I spot you. Hope you haven't got a fear of talking to very tall men (6' 5").

Mage - what time are you guys on?

Rollo - don't have a go at us. If someone doesn't tell us they're leaving the area then we can hardly throw a leaving bash for them now can we =p. Seriously, have fun down in Brighton, will expect an invite if you're still down there when it's sunny.

16:30 / 17.01.03

It's a freestylers DJ set at the med bar which should be nice...
Academy has Sundisential which I point blank refuse to go to.
Same for XLs as its SHIT
Snobs is far to much like lazer quest (all those mirrors, smoke and little children...)
I'll tolerate Edwards as I know the DJ's and can force em to play tchoons

But ive got the problem of tryin to appeal to all my mates tastes...
Im just gonna get drunk and see where the winds take me.
Pot.

Not having a go Adamswish! And sorry for not letting you know - haven't felt like posting much lately. Have a top night Brumbelithers!

18:37 / 17.01.03

Well the medicine bar is free (I saw a poster earlier today) and possibly the nicest out of the bunch. Edwards no 8 upstairs or down? Otherwise we can probably find a bar that shuts at 2 (even if it means venturing onto broad street).

18:50 / 17.01.03

DOWN!!!!!
yee gads woman!

13:47 / 18.01.03

Mkay im gonna be weaqring a venom top, blue dread band and intoxicated grin and should be there from 7 onwards

Pot.

14:35 / 18.01.03

Snobs is far to much like lazer quest

Thank you for that image pot, priceless. Having said that always appreciated the big cushions on the bar at Snobs, especially when under the influence.

See you guys at Flapper. Me tall, shaved head, goatee, big green parka, biege combats and probably with cigerette in mouth.

15:16 / 18.01.03

ahem. just for refence, like!

15:56 / 18.01.03

Wow, my very own 'yee gads!'

Sorry, that came across a little more bossy than I intended. I was just trying to be useful (and failed - it's Bar Academy that's free, not the medicine bar).

I shall have Anna with me tonight, but I doubt we'll get into town until 8. See you later.

Somehow I've appeared, as if by driving magic, in Birmingham. See you tonight my darlings!

03:22 / 19.01.03

and we thank you.

10:59 / 19.01.03

Yea man twas a fukkin bangin birthday but im gonna haveto demand another meet at some point so people get to meet my sober alter ego whos less abnoxious and insulting. Sorry I didn't get to talk to y'all a lot but I had the social butterfly thing to do but I had a lot of fun and didn't chunder.

I also apologise for Spin (my unconcious mate) as he by all rights shouldn't have been in that state (It was my birthday, shoulda been me) It was hilarious as hell when we picked him up and he started dancing, still dont know if he got home.

I dont like the fact that boglin is my ex teacher and only seems to appear when I'm fukked up. Inner turmoil ensues in a caught "charging" by mum kinda tone.

Does drinking 7 rainbow coloured shots count as chakra work??

hope to see y'all soon

Pot.

um, um, um.. On the small off-chance that there's anyone reading this living in the city of Nottingham, if they could drop me a line in the next 24 hours I'd be extremely thankful..

16:13 / 19.01.03

I'm afraid I'm still in Birmingham, which is rainy and windy.

Hey Potguns, glad you had a good time. That was an evening with the correct amount of silliness! Do you have a Happy Birthday hangover?

16:39 / 19.01.03

what a splendid evening.

Harmony, thank you for the sofa and introducing me to the merry band of doomed gothes (which is not an insult, all gothes like to think of themselves as doomed).

Pot, don't worry about your mate, least you didn't find him asleep on the shoulder of a doorman. Found you neither obnoxious or insulting, but then didn't get to talk to you that much.

And, finally Mage, Planetman are now my second favourite Birmingham band (we spoke about my favourites).

We must do this again soon.

18:42 / 19.01.03

Awww... Thanx Swish! I understand fully. There's no knocking Da Koptah!
[hmmm Sci-Fi Rock vs Kung-Fu Rock? Sounds like a PvsN Sondclash to me!]

Yes. Very soon.

And Rizz... I'd drive to Notts. Used to live there. Hmmm - East Mids Ahoy, Brummalith?

21:38 / 19.01.03

considerin how much I drank I aint too bad ta, just the standard tummy nonsense and fear of light, it burnsssss....

Far too many peeps were plying me with beer and spirits, I started refusin at around 9:30 which is a first. If everyone wasnt chatin Will, Will, Will there would have been no way I'd have drank those shots. I think I musta been shoutin all nite cos I can barely speak now and I had dreams of pubs so realitys kinda blurred on the whole last night issue. I remember a distinct lack of Drums and Base for a D & B event and dropping my ritual end of night burger in a black puddle and still eatin it mmmmmm....

I vote the next event should be a casual drink/smoke, video/gaming session as I got Drunken Master for my Bday and wanna have an excuse to watch it again! Hows this sound?

I've got no way getting to Nottingham being a student and all but i am free until the 10th of Feb when I go back to uni so lets sort it!

I'm ok now thankfully -have worked out some alternative transport plans.

It's just that I had no idea what a public transport blackout there is between Leicester and Nottingham! I mean, I'd just thought, hell, they're so close you could almost fucking walk it, they'll be constant trains and buses and shit.. and, um, after about 9pm there isn't anything. At all. Shocking.

15:21 / 20.01.03

Well that was great people, what music, the pretty lights of Birmingham gleaming through the streets and a ridiculous amount of walking in my favourite shoes and now they're damaged! Eek! See you all sometime, probably not soon, but sometime!
