makin me jealous, damn why can't I go :(

tweety

ticket confirmation arrived :)

I will be driving from norwich and back that day if anyone needs a lift. I usually go across country via oxford. pm me if you aren't too far off the route.

st Phillips is fairly shitty urban decay so I will probably park somewhere central and get a bus/cab

oh god, there's not still frigging tickets left is there? its getting harder and harder not to buy one.... :-SS
and now dc says he's driving there and back in a night i feel like a bit of a woosy for thinking that i cant... oh no... what to do...what to do....
~X(

Of all the tired and lazy ways I`ve lead my life , minimum effort for exams , picking a career , bumbling along for many years and then not progressing my career , the only regrets I have are for gigs I`ve been to indecisive/lazy to get off my arse to attend .* ZZTop `87 , Shamen `98 , Guns and Roses `85 , Bruce Springsteen `86 , saw Live Aid but only because I was nagged into going .......

Good stories never start with "There was that time I almost saw Goldfrapp in Bristol but I decided to watch Songs of Praise instead , had a cup of coffee and a couple of Hobknobs as I recall" ......you need a story that goes "There was that time I went to Bristol to see Goldfrapp , jesus , there were combine harvesters lining the road , with country bumpkins drinking scrumpy with scarecrow hats , the gig blew me away , Alison looked like a GMTV fitness Goddess in pink spandex and we danced until our legs were stumps , I used up all my money and had to live on food bought from.......Aldis (dont judge me) and cardboard for a week but it was worth it"...you get the gist

* I`m getting old , some of those dates might be a little out ....too lazy to check ;)

I really nearly got tickets and then remembered my mums dragging me to go and see Frankie Valli that night... No one else would go with her... Fun times!!

You'll be singing along with the rest....you know it! :D

Do you know what, I probably will, we're front row so I'd feel a bit of a lemon just sat there!

She just got a job interview for next Thursday , so she`s a bit stressed at the moment , looks like it`s a job for a Wispa bar and a cup of tea (shallow I know) .

thank you for the pep talk sartori, sometimes i need a kick up the arse.

i've only gone and brought a bloody ticket!

:D :O

Laura

Whoop! Good for you!

Although she's said it's 'just a little warm up thing for Somerset house...' I suspect it will still be pretty bloody cool / worth the trip :D

My coach there is £7, still undecided about what to do getting back... Could fork out for a hotel, could get a coach back at 3am.... (probably not wise but I'll be back in time for work..) oh quandary.

Woot , another person going :D . I do tend to think the purpose of life is just experiences and with that in mind I can justify anything .....apart from the time I was accused of breaking my leg on my wedding anniversary "on purpose" , could of done without ticking that off my bucket list . My alarm will go off at 0545am on Monday morning , that will be another experience I could do without . But , I`ll be happy :D

yeah sounds like justification enough to me! my alarm will be 6.30 :( i think i've got a bit of TOIL owed though so i may see if i can grab a couple of hours then or i shall be like this... (:|

WIFE Telling Update : just got busted , posted on Facebook to my mate in Bristol asking where to park and my Mrs just read it , took it in her stride , I mumbled and she OCD`d it onto her calendar and said ok , she also didn`t say "no" in her face/tone/eyes , helped by a cup of tea and caramel digestives made by Rudolph the Brown Nosed Reindeer

Over to you DC , no pressure .

tweety

groan, no sleep Saturday night for solstice and no sleep Sunday night for travelling. still totally worth it tho :)

no pain no gain Sartori!

glad you relented Ping :)

Cant find any car parks around. So unless we can park in the grounds as google street map implies there is nowhere else to park other than the police compound opposite. And I guess if my car ends up in there the parking release fee will be about in excess of £100. :((

I`ll ask my mate who lives in Bristol . I`ve already "trampified" my car so any car thieves will break into yours first and slip a fiver under my windscreen wiper :D

Luckily not my problem as I have a lease car.

Slippage

For those of us across the pond away from all these lovely gigs, any chance of some kind Frapper to upload the concert to youtube? (Alot of us would be thankful ^_^)

Hopefully it won't be like Little Noise, with twits blabbering all through the show, even during "Melancholy Sky", my goodness it's a good thing I wasn't there.

Howdy, Stranger!
