Blake Head

12:04 / 15.08.06

I am good for the 18th and meeting new faces. I've always been interested in co... cooking (ahem) - what's the show Princess Swashbuckling?

iamus

12:25 / 15.08.06

18th works better for me, as I've found out I'll be working the evening of the 19th.
Shame that L+A can't make it, didn't get much of a chance to talk to Loomis last Glasgow meet.

Anyhow. Should be good. Who's all making it from this end? Doing the train-pool thing again?

iamus

12:27 / 15.08.06

Oh and at the risk of sounding like a bit of a dunce (no doubt it's somewhere obvious), what is yer show, Princess?

Where? When?

iamus

12:30 / 15.08.06

Ah.... Never mind.

Time to wrap the foolscap into a cone and sit in the corner methinks.

Axolotl

16:35 / 15.08.06

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out due to a lack of cash. I was looking forward to going as well, and was going to come despite having no money, but reality has cruelly dashed my hopes against the rock of the final demand.
Have a good time everybody.

Princess

16:50 / 15.08.06

Banshees, Venue 13, end of the royal mile. Physical theatre/performance art about narrative and how we interact with it. Love, death, infanticide and the worlds worst wedding speech. We had some people really fuck us over so the show is a little bit crippled, (way to sell it princess) , but still has some interesting bits. If your on the royal mile then I am the guy with turqouise hair, dressed in a shawl\skirt object, pale face doing space exploration excercises and handing out tiny purple flyers.
Cube, are you the guy who told us to stop laughing so loud. If so, apologies, the cast make funny genital jokes.

18:09 / 15.08.06

Oh, bum. No Phoxolotl? It's your thread!

iamus

20:30 / 15.08.06

Hrrrmmm.

Who's still going from Glasgow then?

You.

Oh, maybe toksik?

Anyway, you could use yr teleport pod. Have fun, guys.

■

22:06 / 15.08.06

So, looks as though we have for Friday:
Blake Head
Squirmelia
Swashbuckling
Me
Jamie G?
iamus
toksik???
g-bop
TTT and NG? (answer the phone, willya?)

Blimey. Pleasance Courtyard is easy to get to from just about everywhere and despite the horrific prices is a good place to gather. Fest shifts mean I am likely to be free only after 7pm. Bung me a PM if you want a phone number for me or directions.

Princess

09:19 / 16.08.06

I'll be there. Watch for turqouise hair.

BTW, don't come to my show. It's bad. Waste of your money.

■

12:18 / 18.08.06

Oh, balls. Look at the weather. Ick. Pleasance around 7-8ish is still my plan (probably in the rear bar area) but if it's totally tipping down, a secondary rendez-vous point should probably be the Holyrood Tavern at the bottom of the Pleasance.

Princess

16:22 / 18.08.06

cool. How are people going to know who is who. I have the shiny hair but what else do people have to recognise each other with.

Char Aina

16:32 / 18.08.06

dudes, ah cannae.
i'd like to, but i'm totally unable.

fat fingers in sticky pies, innit.

■

17:00 / 18.08.06

Both Blake and I have fairly thick black glasses, g-bop can't make it, iamus is the fellow who lives in a vase. Oh, I just remembered, I can wear my lovely pink Fringe pass. They're so bloody gauche no-one ever wears them. I'll also be wearing a cheap Barbour knock-off as the weather is so shite. I'll hang around looking for cover at the Pleasance until about 8 then decamp to the Holyrood.

iamus

23:57 / 19.08.06

That was a good wee night. Thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Cube, Blake Head, pleasure as always. And it was great meeting you Princess and you too Ms. and Mr. Squirmelia.

So Princess, did the show convalesce into a perfect moment of beauty and truth in the last night? Or did it splutter, turn over and die?

Blake Head

00:10 / 20.08.06

Aye, it was grand. Lovely to see the fresh faces, while all we young ones sheltering from a drab and miserable night enjoyed gathering round and letting Grandfather Cube tell us tales of days gone by...

The Falcon

00:55 / 20.08.06

I was actually in Dundas Castle, (South?) Queensferry, for t3h wedding (which I actually surprisingly enjoyed,) and thought briefly of yez. I'll probably have moved back to Dundee when next Glasgow meet cometh, but we'll se what happens.

iamus

02:11 / 20.08.06

When do you head up there Dunc?

We should try and get a meet together before then. Preferably an East/West gathering, but if it's too short notice for the 'burghs then we'll at least get a small weegie one going.

■

17:03 / 20.08.06

What are all you children doing up so early in the morning? I thought you were burglars [grumble, gumble]. Yes, it was partially soggy and rather enjoyable, not unlike a Bath Oliver dunked in port.

iamus

17:20 / 20.08.06

We children haven't been to bed yet, gramps. All hopped up on amphetamine speedballs and thrusting dance.

■

21:23 / 20.08.06

Oh, yes, I was quite a foxtrotter too in my day. I showed Miss Simpson the Watusi that turned Edward's head, you know.

The Falcon

17:53 / 21.08.06

iamus, I'll be gone by mid-September as Wyclef nearly said. The house changes hands on the 15th, but we may bust a move a bit earlier.

Princess

23:06 / 21.08.06

The abortion that was my show has sputtered and died. It lies at the crossroads under salted earth. I do not speak of it.

Ariadne

13:21 / 22.08.06

Glad it was good, and sorry we couldn't be there! Next time, next time...

Jamie Grant

19:26 / 17.09.06

Anyone planning a Barbemeet again soon?

iamus

00:05 / 18.09.06

Sounds like you might be, Jamie.

I think it should be Glasgow, although technically it shouldn't be, 'cause Blake Head did the decent thing and popped down for Duncan's night. Not like the rest of you. Eh? Eh?

Tch.
No seen the boy tokisk about in a while either.

Anyway, I'm good for this, dates pending. Who else is checking in?

Axolotl

16:09 / 18.09.06

I'd be up for a meet, wallet dependant. I have been clocking some overtime recently so should be able to make it.

Jamie Grant

17:40 / 18.09.06

Am really up fer it. Back in the loop again after being in a tight spot w' admin/project hell but have it on the run again.

Anywhere in Sconnie Botland then, aye?

iamus

18:38 / 18.09.06

I say Glasgo then. 'Cause the E-lith have yet to pipe up.
Fair's fair.

End of this month/start of next?

Blake Head

18:47 / 18.09.06

Would love to meet you Jamie, but it'll probably have to wait, as this particular E-lither is skint. Next time guys...

Jamie Grant

18:51 / 18.09.06

Blake Head,

It doesn't cost much to have fun! How much are these tickets to Barbmeet's anyhoo then?

Elettaria

20:38 / 18.09.06

Payment for advance tickets for the next barbe-meet (at the usual price) can be sent c/o

Blake Head's Bookshop
Edinburgh
UK

But seriously... Ach, I know what you mean Jamie, but my sis's birthday just cleaned me out. Which is a bit pathetic, but there you go. I'll see where I am when it gets organised proper.

Jamie Grant

11:34 / 19.09.06

We should pool our money together in a secret santa (sacred satan) hidey hat so no one knows who put what into the pot. Then use the money to buy everyone rounds until it's all gone. Never tried this thou' - just a daft idea that just came to me...
