as far as i know it doesn't go to charity. normally promoters keep the profits (if ever there are any), however there is a question if using Fish to promote the gig is a good thing, however the gigs are a memorial, and to be honest, i think it's more of a get together for his friends to remember him, and it is a really nice thing to do and they do put a lot of effort in.

not sure what my point is, but it's a valid question to ask why it's being done every year, if you're not connected with him or his friends etc.

oh yeah, and danny, that was a bit harsh, a bit over the top keep the happy spirit about this and don't get over protective.

woo! i've got mine and i didn't even know it! woo!

the aberdeen box office appears to have some left....

:woohoo:

Woo!

i thought that they didn't put the same band on the main stage twice in a row, let alone 3 times? why must we put up with this?!

i wonder how the money situation will pan out....

i don't like the nme and i don't like the libertines. but more on principle with the libertines, i go out of my way not to listen to their music (what a snob i am!) one issue of the nme sticks in my mind. it was the one where they were celebrating pete libertine getting out of jail (early?) it showed a picture of him on the cover totally wankered. i was so pissed off that they were celebrating the fact that this guy was a total wanker/pisshead/idiot who would steal his friends stuff and get a huge slap on the back (by the nme) for it. [/rant]

i mostly like the fly. it's ace to find out what gigs are on wherever i'm going to be!

i want to know that too. (little bump)

actually, any song. i don't think i dislike any except maybe cesaro summability.

aenima, sober, eulogy, the grudge

yes! glad i'm here for it this year.

where do we get tickets from?

and when does waz get back?

not fitting in at elizium?!

try it in brown cords! um, not that it matters. but i enjoy it might even try to come along at some point in the holidays. woo!

i used to love this time of year, just after the concert when you knew the was no more shitty boring orchestra for a few months. my wee sister has just done her concert.

i don't know about auf der maur, what i heard i didn't think was amazing, but then i was pysched up to see apc. but neil, i wouldn't diss all of it, we didn't hear a lot of it cos we were upstairs, but the last song was ace, thankfully.

the whole booing england thing, yeah, beautiful mob instincts but quite right, newcastle is shit....

wow. it was amazing. it seems like so long ago now... and so long since i was last here...

is that staight edge or emo yr talking about vaya?!

all the folk i've known who are/have been (god forbid they didn't stay that way!) have been the craziest folk i know, always dancing longest and throwing themselves around then collapsing, while us fools who drink and smoke and whatever else stand and tut at them!

but they would definately be up for a drinking contest. apparently if you drink lots of water (4 or 5 pints) you spew!

what a gig! shame i missed ....to keep it safe but oh my god i thought zillah were just amazing! i (and most of the folk around me) were just mesmerised. didn't understand it, but i liked it. 9th plague were pretty ace too. fully enjoyed them. and of course, as always In decades decline and broken oath were excellent. wow. good gig. well done dave!

i tasted them pints. tasted like puke. ming.

i'm still trying to blame my horrific hangover on the tiny tast of the chilli vodka i had. but i think i just drank too much morgans...........

wow, i might go to the moorings one day. sounds like fun. and a change of scenery is always good.

i was thinking that^

i don't think i've ever spent that much in one go. ever.

yup. i hate blank bits. even more when you don't know when they were!

i think i had fun.

Ross! stop hijacking threads!! goddamn! there's a time and a place!

hmm, and i'll be in moshulu for a part of the evening. probably a large part. or at least a very drunken one.
