Who's going? I am going on Wednesday, and I couldn't find a thread in the Gathering. I'm going to be with a mass of people but I would still absolutely LOVE to see some of you if you're going to be around...

Kit-Cat has my phone number and I give her permission to pass it along to OBVIOUS FRIENDS (sorry, that sounds awful but you know what I mean) in case I don't get back online again before Wednesday...

I'll be there with a bunch of people. Jack the Bodiless will be there too. Was hoping to see Tom there but I haven't heard from him since last week.

Did any of you guys manage to find tickets?

Nah unfortunatly. Cheapest price i got off a tout was £80 although i only hung around for a short time. Cheered myself up though by spending the money i would've spent on a shit load of psychedelic drugs.

I trust they were utterly fabulous!!!

utterly.

still haven't quite accepted the fact that I've seen the Pixies. A friend told me that she'd never seen me smile that much before. Wiped the grin right off my face that did.

Great performance. Santiago is a legend. A couple of disappointments in that the show didn't go as long as we hoped (but that'd still be the case even if we were stood for three hours) and it was hard to hear Kim at times. Her vocals on "Hey" were an example. Apart from that, bloody hell.

I thought you were saying that you thought the psychedelics were "utterly fabulous". duh.

I think I'll need more than drugs to make me feel better about missing them. Thanks a lot Tom!

pointless and uncalled for

Went to see them on the Friday.

They clipped through a few of the songs a bit fast but nonetheless that is one of the finest concerts I have seen and the first time I've been in harsh bouncing mosh-pit in too many years.

Enough sweaty goodness for all.

Well, I only just managed to blag a ticket because one of my friends had a spare (I didn't ask why he had a spare, might have been a sensitive subject).

I did bump into Jack and Spooky post-gig but they had to dash off to catch their train...

I think I was the only person in the world who was slightly underwhelmed by them... I mean, it was great to actually see them and hear all the stuff live, but they seemed a little workaday, get on stage, get through set, get off again. No banter, not very dynamic. They did close with Into The White, which I'd been waiting for aaaalllll night, which was something.
