Some sort of hi-tech mapping system is required, like sonar.

I think that you would need at least 2 officials watching the glass placement - one as an overall referee and a specific "arseman" for each contestant. That should minimise any sneakiness by Mr. Moorings hopefuls.

Makes sense, you don't want a glass sliding round the front and breaking the "offside" rule. I suppose a timer will be required to make sure the glass stays positioned for the correct amount of time.

To get back to topic I am looking forward to this gig.

This gig will be pretty much one year on from Chris and I (very) drunkenly deciding that forming a band would be a good idea.

SATURDAY 16 AUGUST = FUDGENIGHT @ THE MOORINGS BAR

BLOODNUT + DOLLAR-SENT + 1864 IN ART
and introducing THE MR MOORINGS 2008 COMPETITION hosted by Rapunzel

MySpace.com - BloodNut - Aberdeen, UK - Metal - www.myspace.com/bloodnut666
MySpace.com - Dollar - Sent - Brighton, UK - Rock / Metal / Punk - www.myspace.com/dollarsent
MySpace.com - 1864 In Art - Aberdeen, UK - Rock / Metal / Alternative - www.myspace.com/1864inart


"SO! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MR MOORINGS COMPETITION?" I hear you query... I can now answer that question...

There are 3 stages:

1) A physical challenge which will take place in the lane outside the bar (to ensure that everyone is able to breathe). This will be underway whilst bands are on but people are welcome to spectate.
The winner of the physical challenge is allocated 10 points, the runner up 8 points and so forth.

2) The golden ratio. Here we compare wrist, chest, waist, hip, measurements etc with the golden ratio. Scoring system as per before. We also compare body fat and muscle mass using scientific scales.

3) Audience vote. Scoring as before.

We then add all 3 scores to find the winner.

And 5 years to the week that I last played on a stage

pretty good night overall. as far as first gig's go i think 1864 can be quite chuffed with that. pretty tight set and some cracking riffage. sound was a little muddy in places particularly when everyone was playing clean but no big deal.

now that the troublesome first gig is under their belts it can only get better.

unfortunately i didn't get drunk enough to forget about the mr moorings contest. frankly i'm amazed the lady patrons of the moorings showed so much restraint when there was such a fine display of manflesh on show

I don't know how to feel about being a member of Aberdeen's alt. rock super group.

What's with the name "1864 in art"? This isn't an attack, just curious.
