Ariadne & Loomis farewell bash

Page: 1(2)3

08:07 / 30.04.04

We're considering filling the spare room with bunk beds. But you'll have to sing for your supper, in true festival style.

09:00 / 30.04.04

We're going to advertise our installation as a performance in the festivsal. It's called "Visitors Sleeping" and we'll charge admission for people to come and watch you all in our spare room.

We could all make a fortune on this.

14:35 / 04.05.04

Looks like the Planets are aligning for this one as well, a three day weekend and this happening at the same time. You'll definately see me there on this one

So to recap, is this occurring on the 15th, in the afternoon at the Fitzrovia? I might actually stop in seeing as I never do. But I hate when people leave.
And where is Fitzrovia? Excuse me for being stupid. I'm still in recovery.

07:46 / 05.05.04

It's on Goodge Street, Lily - the north side, between Tottenham Court Road and Charlotte Street.

08:22 / 05.05.04

I might come along, for a while at least - some of my relatives are over from New Zealand, and London just happens to be on the way to Kent, where I am supposed to meet them. Anyone want to go to an art gallery (ICA, maybe?), or museum or anything earlier in the day?

09:47 / 05.05.04

How about seeing some nuclear bombs at the Secret State exhibition at the National Archives?

06:13 / 11.05.04

Just bumping this up to remind everyone it's this Saturday. Hurray!

07:08 / 11.05.04

I'm in sunny/not so sunny Derbyshire this weekend. Have fun. Or should I say have a drink for me...

Hopefully this is pointing at the exact position of the pub. Give or take a few centimeters.

ONLY NICE THINGS

17:59 / 11.05.04

Ah-hah! I may be able to make this, assuming I'm not working. Oh my God I just said that...

18:13 / 11.05.04

Working on a Saturday Tann? Don't speak of such things! I'm sure you can do with an ale-break at some point.

BTW, who is planning to come in the afternoon? I'm aiming to be there from about 3pm I think. Maybe earlier if I'm extra thirsty which is all too probable.

05:47 / 12.05.04

It's looking bad for me making it. Forgot I had a party arranged to go to on the same night. Honestly, people who plan parties for May in March should really be more something.
Anyway, if I don't go, here's wishing Ariadne and Loomis all fond farewells and great luck in their new adventure!!!

If you all get bored of the same bar stool you can always come down to Stokey to a big big party at the THe EYE, Stoke Newington High Street. It's open to everyone who gets told about it and its the birthday for one of our local originators of altenative/just barely not punk rock celebrities who cannot be named. Now that I've told you, you are invited see? Perhaps some farewell dancing among the stars in the wee hours would help the send off?

06:42 / 12.05.04

I could well arrive in the afternoon, given I have little else to be doing. Perhaps circa 4-ish. WIll let you know for sure nearer the time.

Goodness Gracious Meme

08:03 / 12.05.04

hmm. am 50-50 atm, I'm afraid. wheels within wheels....

hope to see you. if not, am going to descend on you in Edinburgh at some point. be warned.

09:14 / 12.05.04

C'mon, BiP - sort it ahhhttt

I will so be there. What time I know not, as I'm trying not to completely drink myself stupid/smoke my lungs black (oh, watch the lies flow from my treachous fingertips).

Looks like a big one!

09:32 / 12.05.04

Can't make it i'm afraid as i'll be going to watch Van Helsing kick holy shit out of vampires and monsters for my sons birthday. Have a great time the both of you and i'm sure i'll see you soon.

Our Lady Has Left the Building

10:48 / 12.05.04

I'll be there... I only need a few more dead skin cells from Loomis to create my clone...

16:53 / 12.05.04

Hurray for afternoon drinking! That's a bummer that you can't make it Ghadis. But there's always next time, and welcome back parties are always better really aren't they?

BTW Flowers, I hope you're using skin cells that died of natural causes, otherwise your cloned Loomis won't be considered vegan ...

20:24 / 12.05.04

Aw Shit. I have to work all day and then have an unavoidable engagement in the evening.

Farewell and goodluck, my favorite Barbevegans!!!

20:58 / 12.05.04

Does that mean there'll be no baked vegan treats for us? Bah. No fair.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

08:41 / 13.05.04

I'll be there for at least part of the shenanigans- I have to somehow combine this with the Subgenius thing and a party later...

09:52 / 14.05.04

Me and a friend should be able to make it to the pub. We'll probably appear when we get bored of shopping (I *am* going to buy polyester resin) and seeing the sights, so probably about 4-ish.

23:52 / 14.05.04

We'll be there (wouldn't miss it for the world) but will have to head off later, for Duckie...

Our Lady Has Left the Building

21:56 / 15.05.04

Well that was top, we should have people leave more often...

00:57 / 16.05.04

Hey, Shortened Lady, your denim was top too. And, yes, Ariadne and Loomis should just stay here and pretend to leave and we could repeat the experience of their farewell do on a regular basis. But the bastards really do appear to be leaving us. How could they? Especially as Ariadne was so helpful in getting Ganesh settled into his bright, shiny new London life?

Great night. Met Psi Lock who is the sexiest and smartest new Barbeloid I've come across in an unsuspecting pub for some time. And the Bear just gets more complex and intriguing every time I happen across him. Some people just can't help it.

So many looooooovely people. So many I never quite got round to chatting to because I was caught up with Cherry Bomb (my Spiritual Advisor).

Mmmmmm, Haus and la Belle Dame with the notebook in her pocket. One of the nice things about moving to the new house, whenever, will be we can have you round for a grown-up, sensible dinner party type thing. Not Ariadne and Loomis though, fuckers. They've gone! Heartless, that's what I call it.

And Mlle Logardiere, love the hair!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

07:35 / 16.05.04

Yes, that was very cool. Also the first time ever I've had to get a really drunk bloke onto a bus rather than the other way round... some kind of karmic payback, methinks.

07:51 / 16.05.04

That was a very articulate post for 3am Xoc. Well done. That was indeed a fabulous night. Thanks to everyone for making it so much fun. In the words of Australia's most successful boxer, "I love youse all." I must say however that it is too fucking hot today to be hungover. It's just like in Sydney, and I moved to the UK with the express purpose of not having to be hungover in hot weather. Fortunately I'm moving to Scotland where they have civilized temperatures.

So let's recap on last night. Beer was drunk. Shit was talked. Hugs were deployed remorselessly. All objectives achieved admirably. To those who escaped hugless due to the spectacle which was The Mad Dash For One Last Pint (TM), your hugs can be claimed via postal application and will be delivered between the hours of 9 and 10 on a day specificed by the management, though I cannot be held liable for loss or damage of said hugs in transit.

And I can't believe that the-late-opening-pub-that-I-know was not bloody open. It appears that my London-fu is on the wane and therefore it is time to move away ... to a place where all pubs are late openers.

Do I get to post my Sleaze-big hands and Sleaze/Kit-Cat fight photos now? And nice as my skirt was, Meme Buggerer's top was better. Nice to see there is still a reason for Camden to exist. And then there was Stoatie, just to watch as time went by how he slowly lost the will to go to that Subgenius party, what was it you were missing, midget Pirate ElectroKareoke or something? And Bill Posters strange radical Muslim flyer that railed against the 'seven deadly sins' but only mentioned five, though it did seperate out homosexuals AND lesbians into seperate piles, which was nice.

Went home with a big stupid grin on my face, though that might have been the drunkeness.

Psi-L is working in hell

11:13 / 16.05.04

Very glad I came along yesterday, was great to meet everyone...looking forward to the next one...

midget Pirate ElectroKareoke or something

Duh! A midget rapper in a nautically themed pub. Clearly Stoat heaven.

17:38 / 16.05.04

Poo. Dammit.

19:32 / 16.05.04

Wow I can't believe I spent 7 hours in a pub and then went dancing! Wait a minute, yes I can! Anyway that was fantastico! Although I still think it's very rude that Ariadne and Loomis are goin g. Maybe you should have one more farewell bash first...

19:43 / 16.05.04

Lovely to see you all again!

I ended up going to Slimelight, but then got a ride in a police car, and took lots of photos of cranes just after dawn. Failed to meet up with my relatives, due to being far too tired and hungover. Oh well.

Duh! A midget rapper in a nautically themed pub. Clearly Stoat heaven.

Ah! You've both got it all mixed up and topsy turvy and stuff.

The midget rapper in the nautical pub was the night before, which I'd already missed. What I missed on SATURDAY night was the Karaoke Dominatrix and the air guitar band PISS.

Wouldn't've had it any other way, though... I had a wonderful evening. (But next time... BRING MIDGETS. AND/OR KARAOKE.) Hate to see Ariadne & Loomis leave... but that was a pretty good fucking turnout, it has to be said. And rest assured, a stoat (and maybe some badgers... it depends on what woodland adventures I have on the way) WILL be coming to visit you. Be warned.
