It's irritating fucking bastard weather at the moment with unbearable sunshine and head-splitting cold rain switching places every half hour. Despite it's frankly ridiculous prices (£7.70 for two lagers), I suggest everybody gets to the Wellington at Waterloo very quickly. It is nice in there and, most importantly, it's directly opposite the train/tube station and bus stops - making it simple for people unfamiliar with the area to meet up with the IMCT crew.

This would hopefully save any incidents of forum goers wandering round lost for fifteen minutes at a time. When Marky and I were doing that, a tiny crazy woman started a physical fight with the frankly massive Mr Dread. Let's avoid as much of that as possible. As soon as all the troops are assembled, we can de-camp to somewhere a bit closer to the venue.

At the moment, I think it's myself, Purple Hayes, Heston and Olaf. Anyone I'm forgetting? Anyone going and want to join in the festivities round Festival Hall?
Sorted, gig starts 19:30 so I'll be in the Wellington from 4ish :mrgreen:
Sounds good.

So if anyone remembers that picture of me in ledehosen with the giant raccoon... that's pretty much what I'll look like.

Funny that some people seem to think that the railways ("robbing bastards") and breweries owe them something.

They owe it to the drunks?

Your point, of course, being that a whinge about the price of a drink is completely analogous to your feelings about Big Audio Dynamite. The treacherous dogs who, with the costs of their tickets, have abandoned their once enshrined ideals. That's an... unsurprisingly facile point.

1) The BAD tickets don't rise in price as it gets nearer the date. My mate got the same train tickets as me for £60 a few weeks ago.

2) Everyone knows that nearly £4 for a pint is a rip off, BAD's tickets are pretty much in line with what other bands charge.

3) Have you got nothing better to do than piss and moan about everything?

I was hoping deny would be able to make it, but apparently he ruined himself by buying Ibiza.

Had a bit of good news on the train tickets, a mate had a previously undiscovered voucher which is getting us down for £32 each. It cost me a tenner to cancel the original booking but still a result.

With the saved money I think I'm gonna take in Chuck Prophet (playing LC in its entirety) on Sunday evening, this is shaping up to be a good weekend.

Really, really sorry to be a letdown, but I can't do this now. I drank and snorted my money for the month last night and can't afford it. Feel awful to miss the gig (and in general). As you lot know, I couldn't have been looking forward to this more. I'm going to have to sell some of my lovely DVDs to pay for a bus pass to get me to work next week! Sorry, Purple Hayes, hope you find someone to give you a good price for that ticket you very kindly set aside for me. Have a blast.

To put the capper on a great day, I've got to write a letter of apology to my mate's sister for pissing in her hallway.

That's a pisser mate. I'm currently sitting outside a pub in Tuffnell Park on my sixth pint of Becks. The future is unwritten.

Spare ticket going our end if anyone needs one.
