03:18 / 16.03.03

Hey Puck we may be sorting a nite goin too see Lee "scratch" Perry very shortly, so do you fancy investigating one of the pioneers of the dub stylee??
Im sure Swish has the details but its all in the pipeline and a little in the air at the mo. Any other sugesstions for the Brumlithers??

Rollo Kim, on location

10:15 / 16.03.03

Watcha Puck. Sorry to hear that student life's not for you. I'm back in town around this time next month so would be good to do something alcohol related then. I've got a stag night in Brum on the 19th (April) too.

11:54 / 16.03.03

sweet as meat, well being the jobless wonder that i am i wuold very intrested in anything

Lee scracth Perry! i would be well up for that by jimmny if id have probly gone anyway

Rollo fair play although you dont strike me as the stag night type, well see if any one else is up for it and we can definatly hook up. not at the stag do abouvuisly, not my sort of thing.

i might be in italy about then though, long story.

21:53 / 16.03.03

Hey, yeah that's a good plan. I'll be heading to the custard factory this saturday too, and maybe with some other folks in tow who I know would like the music.

If you're hitting the pubs and I'm free, I'll be happy to wander along.

11:55 / 17.03.03

Puck you marvelous beast, good to have you back amongest the fold. And congratulations to whoever had five months in the sweepstakes. Knew you would drian those puppies dry in a short time.

The scratch perry night is this weekend I believe and at the custard factory. As ever it seems Harmony is on the pluse yet again.

Other than that night there is also a thing on at the end of the month (31st) where the mighty copter will be headlining a free gig at the academy (or academy2 or the academy bar, will get the full details when I've got time to look at my e-mails). I know it's a school night for some (monday) but for us free-wheelin reprobates it's an extension to the weekend.

Will add more when I'm back from Leamington Spa (where this is being typed) and give you the full details of both. Or whoever gets on here first let us know the actually date for the scratch perry thing, can't remember if it's this friday or saturday.

18:14 / 17.03.03

23:04 / 17.03.03

Copter cool as, an ex of mine used to fuck the drummer, id be well up for it. cant talk for long its not my puter.

13:20 / 20.03.03

well it's thursday and I'm guessing no-one's found out anything about the perry gig this weekend.

So other than Puck who's up for the copter gig on the 31st. Trust me they're fucking brilliant live and well worth the trip.

Okay I know it's a school night for some of you but you can't argue with the entry price now can you.

So come on broaden your minds with us...

17:36 / 20.03.03

I still wanna go to the perry gig! The Tickets are 14.50 (ack!!) If everyone else is goin i'll go and buy one 2mrw so post quickly with a yay or nay response!

Oh and if anyone needs me to get em' a ticket i'll be goin through town anyways.

Pot.

21:12 / 20.03.03

Oh dear. I had no idea what the cost was going to be when I said yes to saturday. I have that painful end of term moneyness so I don't think I'll be going unless I just decide that I just should dammit (probably quite arbitrarily). However if anyone is heading to a pub beforehand I think I can manage that.

As for the 31st it is my pa's birthday that weekend and I have to go home (London). So again a no

Grrr to self for being useless. Not so organised after all!

13:24 / 21.03.03

eeek at the price pots. Think I will have to plead poverty too I'm afraid (I know I'm a rotten pleader). Sorry mate, blame the government if you will...

So we have one for copter at least. And as a side note has anyone heard from mixmage recently?

If all else fails we will arrange something for when we all have money, time, and no family commentments, deal?

22:40 / 25.03.03

i can say with a fair amount of confidence that i will be going to see Copter, i will be good and drunk, that i can say with upmost confidence

sooo who else is gonna help paint the red doors black? and see a suprisingly good band to boot.

10:35 / 26.03.03

Cant complain with free entry....
I'll see whats goin on

14:14 / 26.03.03

and just to sweeten the deal somewhat there's an "after-show" party at bar academy till one after the gig.

oh and as a delicious side order mixmage has said unless the sky falls (or something comes up) he, along with the rest of "Planetman" shall be there too."

and I'm still working on MRY, but he has said that we will be taking puck out for drinks and a damn good talking to at some point.

18:05 / 26.03.03

It scares me seeing mixmage as a delicious side order...
Whos for the main course?

14:10 / 27.03.03

that would be telling pots.

12:22 / 29.03.03

on another less canibalistic note one of my mates is running a dub nite at the med bar on sunday. Any takers??

15:49 / 30.03.03

okay plans for tomorrow night. Pots, I've PMed you my mobile number, use it wisely my son. Puck I'll call or text you in the afternoon to make arrangements for the evening. Anyone else who's lurking or dashing back from the capital and find they have the entrance fee (it's free remember) we're see you there.

22:32 / 30.03.03
