Shame Flyboy cos I think you'd enjoy it and one participates as much as you want to!

...besides I was hopeing to collar you at the same time but it looks like I shall just have to find some other accessories to compliment by outfit...

Hear that? I'm an accessory again. At least this time it isn't to a capital crime...

Ma'at, that's the most shamefaced attempt to get me to come to an event since the last time Jack the Bodiless offered to buy me a pint.

Hmmm.

Aww... sweet of people to care whether or not I turn up. Muchly appreciated, folks... I would have liked to come, but really, I just can't manage it...

However, I now have a much better reason for not going - I'll have a very fresh tattoo, and possibly alterations to my brand, both of which would probably not take kindly to spending time in a club environment.

What if we sign a petition? Then you'll have to come. Flyboy too, though I suspect the promise of a pint may be enough to swing him, even if the the prospect of ritual objectification doesn't.

But you say you've had a tatoo, cholister? No, of course you can't go out. I mean, it would be entirely inappropriate to go out with a clearly designated painful region of flesh. That would be terrible. Unthinkable, even.

Is the plan still to meet at someone's beforehand? Is there a plan?
 
 
Jack The Bodiless
08:10 / 21.08.02
Who can truly say? We don't know what our plan is yet, Ruth (miss spooky, Ma'at, her plaything and I are coming from Southampton). Chances are we'll have to actually see you lot at the club... we have to arrange a place to stay, which Ma'at looking at doing as we speak, so we'll probably get set up for the evening there.

Location is set....if not we're gonna be looking for cheap B & B's in the Balham area

Is that a yes then Flyboy (or whatever it is your calling yourself this week)? Should I bring another collar along then? I'm sure I can tempt you in many ways dearest. Do come along..I'm wearing the corset!

We can get a petition going if you like and MAKE you come! Besides I'm sure other Lither's would like to see a pic of you and Jack and my plaything all done up and leashed ready for the off...so to speak..ish

Cholister: Fresh tattoos are not a good drop out excuse! However howz about meeting up beforehand for a drink if you really can't cope with a clup envrionment? Besides saliva is good for healing wounds and I'm sure we could find someone to lick you better....
 
 
Jack The Bodiless
15:37 / 21.08.02
Oh, you're really not helping...

Drinks beforehand might be an option, though... if we're reliant on Ma'at for organising transport and accomodation (which I think we are), thne that would be entirely up to hir.

OK, so the Southampton crew are in. Who else? I'm losing track of who's doing what. Offer still stands about meeting up with me and Mordant at our flat. It's not the most conveniently placed to go to Vauxhall, though.

22:12 / 22.08.02
Am certainly in, and would really appreciate somewhere to meet up and change at. Whereabouts are you, Lurid?

(Anyone fancy drinks beforehand, by the way?)

Sadly the temptation issue is a bit academic since I can't actually make it, but ne'ermind...

Looks like we're gonna make it- wahey. So we'll probably just slip into something fairly uncomfortable and come straight out- or we could come to yours first, MC & Lurid? Or do people wanna meet for drinks?

actually, we've still to get our act together, will develop the plans further in a wee while.

Southampmton posse: we can accommodate anyone who's really fucked for somewhere to stay- sleeping-bags/floor arrangement

We're not gonna make it to TG. Being the clueless Scot, I was easily conned into being on-call over an English Bank Holiday - and, surprise surprise, none of my colleagues will swap shifts with me.

Bastards.

I was thinking we could all meet up in the pub at 7:30 PM, stay for one or two drinks, and then at 9 o'clock head back to the house to get changed. I would like to suggest O'Neils, which is on the corner of the Holloway Road and Seven Sisters crossroad; it's naff but convenient.

Would that be okay with everyone?

Okay, here's the map (touch wood).

From Finsbury Park tube: Leave by the Seven Sisters exit and bung a right. Keep going down Seven Sisters road until you reach Holloway Rd. O'Neils is on the corner, on the opposite side to you. It's about a ten-minute walk.

From Holloway Rd tube: Turn left as you leave the station. Walk up Holloway Rd for about five minutes. You can't miss it.

If I can find an outfit I can

a) afford

and

b) fit into

I just might be along for this tonight! Or not. As yet unsure...

Looks like we're probably going to have to meet you guys at the club... the flat we're staying in is in Balham, and we're reliant on the kindness of strangers in even getting down to London, so we can't really order them about.

Mordant seconded: everybody, come, pleeease!!

Cherry, if I, the giant pear, found an outfit, you'll surely find yours. Meme said we're meeting you in Camden, so prepare to giggle a lot with the shops we're going to take you to!

Argh, this was me, Pacha. Meme doesn't look like a giant pear.

There's a small hole in the seat of the PVC trousers I'm wearing tonight... nothing untoward... but I shan't be sitting down, just in case...

I loved those trousers...

No-- and neither do you, silly. Honestly, I despair!

Ok I have found an outfit! We will meet y'all over at O'Neil's, I think. We will see you tonight!

Yeah- great night, will post recollections/experiences later. Currently still weak as a kitten and recovering from the weekend's excess

Ganesh: you, Zoch and Cholister were greately missed! The Tg barbe-posse has increased, though, and if we keep this trend you can bet the next time will be even better than yesterday.

Well, what to say? Sleaze (the lovely abaesque one this time), Cherry (ab-so-lu-te-ly stunning in her red pvc dress and ponytails), Ruth Gordon (remarkable in black rubber!!) and Lilith (with a beooootiful purple corset! And the shoes! Ah, the shoes...), were the newbies, and couldn't have had more fun, I heard.

Also Mordant, with fishnets and whip (wow..............), Lurid with rubber (best marriage of man and goth I've ever seen) and my darling, Meme (we painted a red medical cross with lipstick on his back, heheh), as well as the cute blonde Ms. M completed the group. I wish I had spoken more to Jack, Spooky and Ma'at (to best admire their outfits), but lost sight of them at the beginning.

I think the new venue was all right, very different from the Mass cause it doesn't have the same aura of 'undergroundness'. The dance floor areas were fine (3 or 4?), as well. My only complaint is about the dungeon, which isn't my idea of a dungeon. While the old one was discreet, away from the dance floors, and with a very pervy appearance, this one is more like another room, too modern, illuminated, and serving as passway to other rooms. So much so that the number of performances there, during the night, were less than on the old one (makes me think people felt embarassed). Maybe I'm exagerating, but anyway.

The music at the dungeon was what I most enjoyed (i danced with Cherry, Lilith, Mordant and Sleaze! Which was fun!), some of it was a mix of bellydancing music and something else.

What else... Ah, a couple asked me to take a picture with them, which was good for self-esteem. Aside from this, spontaneous conversations with strangers were many and great, as well as the outfits.

Damn. Spotted this far too late. Going to TG on saturday with you lot would've been the only thing that could possibly have made my weekend any more ridiculous also, so doubly sorry.

Does this mean we're on again for october 7th though? Cos I could definitely be up for that one (although the outfit will have to be really good, huh?).
