Right.

Wembley is going to be making a stopover in London from May 31st to June 2-ish. And wants to meet you, London 'lithers.

So:

Saturday 1st. Afternoon. Pub. Drinking.

Sound good? Suggestions on a beer-mat...

oh, i'm up for this. i *would* suggest meeting wembley in wembley, but it's a fairly soulless part of london, so perhaps not.

are we talking the jc, or perhaps the beer garden at the rochester castle in stokey? if it's sunny and that, you know. i would certainly vote against central london.

The voices in my head tell me I'll be available that day, and they also tell me to kill Jilly Cooper, so they can obviously be trusted. June, wouldn't that be like, Summer? Can't we try for somewhere summery? A pub with a park? Or do Barbelithers feel uncomfortable in direct sunlight?

sorry - gonna be down in bristol over that weekend for comics2002-

wembly- are you gonna be in london over the bankholiday too? (there are another 2 days off that week)

Sleaze: Wembley's staying until the afternoon of the 2nd, then flies out to Finland, IIRC.

SFD: beer garden of the Rochester's good? Hmmmm. That could well be an option - Stokey will be very handy. I'm with Lada on the alfresco falling-over bit, too.

I could well be up for venturing into the sunlight and actually attending a Barbe-meet - if I'm not working.

It would be cool to meet Wembley and catch up with the rest of you reprobates!

Shortfatdyke

10:05 / 10.05.02

well the garden is a decent size. and the rochester castle sells exceedingly good beer, very reasonably priced (where else can you get summer lightning for £1.55, i ask you?).

Ariadne

10:11 / 10.05.02

Be great to meet Wembley so I'll give a hesitant 'yes, me too'. Hesitant cause I might be moving that weekend. But then again i might not. Either way, I'll no doubt need a drink.

>waaah<

i'm going to be in bristol for comics2002 as well. bah.

oh well -- i see a trip to berlin on the cards if that's ok with you!

I can come. I can't deal with direct sunlight, being a ninja vampire (which also accounts for the fact that "I don't drink...wine", incidentally) an' all, but if I wear my SPF50 school-child hat that my mum brought me back from Australia, I should not turn into a little pile of ash for at least a few hours. Would like to meet wembley.

Heyyyyy, I've been to London, you can't fool me. What's all this 'sunlight' business?

I have to warn all y'all I've been a *very* light drinker for a year and thus will probably be the first one under the table. As long as I meet you all first, that's fine, I suppose.

Count me in. I promise not to get homesick and bring up Canada in conversation.

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:42 / 15.05.02

Should be around for this, I think (having decided that seeing Le Tigre two nights in a row is probably excessive...). Are there plans afoot for dancing, later? The Camden Monarch often does a nice line in soul/rock'n'roll/60s stuff/indie staples/etc on a Saturday...

wembley can change in 28 days

20:15 / 22.05.02

Damn it, that sounds mighty tempting. Which reminds me, I have to email my local DJ and request a number for my last night out at Blowup. All I want to hear is Love Potion #9 by the Coasters (I think that's the version I'm after), and I'll be a mad fool on the floor.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

21:38 / 22.05.02

I'm up for that... booze and revelry.

Regrettable Juvenilia

20:27 / 23.05.02

I must check which night it is at the Monarch that Saturday - there's definitely one that is completely geared to stuff like Love Potion #9, so you might well be in luck...

Our Lady of The Two Towers

11:06 / 24.05.02

Actually, it now appears I spoke too soon and won't be available that Saturday, but ho hum, have a good time anyway...

Ariadne

21:00 / 25.05.02

Just read through this but may have missed something - have we decided on somewhere specific? And a time?

Regrettable Juvenilia

23:35 / 27.05.02

No, I don't think we have. So we probably should... Seeing as it's now quite short notice, how about the good ol' Jorene Celeste? The state of my wallet and liver mean I can't really make anytime before, ooh, 5pm, but I'm sure others will want to gather before then...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

06:39 / 28.05.02

Sounds good to me... time, anyone?

Ariadne

07:21 / 28.05.02

Suits me. I won't get there till later, probably about 5 or 6, but other people tend to go earlier.

The Return Of Rothkoid

14:36 / 28.05.02

OK. Looks like the JC it is. I'm thinking people will start to gather there at around 3pm - that seems to be standard barbekickoff time. I'll check with wembley when ze arrives on Friday, though.

hmmm... (extend 'hmm' for as long as possible to indicate extreme dubiousness of following suggestion).. it sure would be nice to see you lot before the big-long-summer-during-which-i-wont-be-able-to-get-to-anything ..so.. if Flyboy is able & willing to provide a couch after the Le Tigre gig and I'm able to persuade my non-Barbelith mate it's in his best interests to go home Friday night without me (or alternatively, if magically he wants to meet a bunch of weirdoes and there's somewhere for him to stay) and if I decide to give important exam revision the heave-ho for a day or two..

..so a lot of maybe's and probably nots, but you never know..

rizla mission

15:37 / 28.05.02

Or alternatively, if it's sometime on the Monday/Tuesday bank holiday, I'll surely be able to shoot down without too much additional aggro or expense..

Regrettable Juvenilia

20:24 / 28.05.02

Riz: I've got a spare fold-out bed in my room which should suffice if you can clear away the piles of comics, soiled underclothes and unpaid bills. My new flat's pretty handy for the gig too... The only problem I can foresee is if I end up taking Kathleen Hanna (or cloned acolyte) home, in which case it's the bath for you, kiddo...

No, but seriously, bed's yours if you want it... We'd better arrange to meet somewhere before the gig, I guess...

Jack The Bodiless

10:36 / 29.05.02

Would love to come, can't - we're completing the final phase of the move on Saturday (where we actually move the furniture in)... but (if you miss me, miss spooky, ephemerat, expressionless, et al) see SOUTHAMPTON THREAD! YAY...

Actually, I don't reckon I'll be able to make it .. exams are close and revision's going a bit rubbish, so spending an entire weekend in London probably isn't such a great idea.

Thanks for the offer anyway though Flyboy - see you at the gig.

15:19 / 30.05.02

I'd like to see wemblers and friends- will try and pop in before toddling along to the Breeders

Actually, there's a Torontonian going to be singing up a storm in some club in London June 1st (I really should do my research before posting) - Luke Doucet is canadian as fuck, and an excellent singer/guitarist/songwriter. So, that might be an option (not that there aren't already five hundred fabulous options), especially if it's cheap and I'm poor (yes).

Ooo-er! Airport in t-minus two hours!

The Strobe

17:01 / 30.05.02

I may well be along. Will see how things turn out.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

17:35 / 31.05.02

I'll be there for deffo... wanna meet Wembley and also help console Rothkoid with sweet, sweet booze.
And I might even drink some myself. You never know.

17:56 / 31.05.02

Sniffle. Sob.

'Bye, Wembley.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

09:36 / 02.06.02

Horribly monstered by booze. Any other survivors wanna check in?

Lurid Archive

09:50 / 02.06.02

Fuck me. A night of being very drunk and severely hated by people at that party. Me and Maominstoat and Barry Auckland and Mordant were obviously very threatening - I've gotta start a thread about it when my head stops throbbing.

Good to meet all you guys.
