They were pretty good too, missed the start of their set though but enjoyed what I saw. Pity you weren't over for it, you would have had a great night.

Open bar, stayed up until 7am on Sunday morning, slept 10 hours last night and I'm still not quite back to the land of the living. An amazing day

Going to San Fran!

Yay!!

Am trying to organise a trip to Las Vegas for a Star Trek Convention

It's getting pricey.

My best friend since we were 4 and 5 asked me and our other friend of 10 years to be her bridesmaids next Summer

Me and the other girl were having a pint when she asked us through the same WhatsApp group texting, knowing we were together. She sent us links to some dresses she'd like us to have. We agreed on one and sent back to her.
BAM!
All sorted in under 3 sips

All the cool kids going west...

Fibbers was packed on Friday night as it was their 25th Anniversary. It's rarely that busy most Friday's though. Wasn't too many in the Gypsy Rose either. Any idea who the guest DJ's are for the after party? Last time one of the fellas from Anathema was DJing.

Havent heard,anathema are over at 10 so might pop up to see Overoth, must check stage times, , gypsy is open until 2.30 so its an option to head to if Fibbers is ****e.

Ah I'd say, Blind Guardian are amazing live, and I adored Orphaned Land when they played here, really incredible show

I am going and cannot wait. 3 hours of Anathema, its going to be amazing,looks like its heading to be a sell out.
Evil Scarecrow were absolutely savage on Saturday night. So much fun. Anyone going to Download would be foolish to miss them.

Aye, should be a good 'un. And the 3 hour set, you can't argue with that.

Links234 · 14-04-2015 10:35pm

I won't be at Anathema, but you folks enjoy! I'd say it'll be an amazing show!

By all accounts the Anathema concert was brilliant raging that I missed it

It was an outstanding performance from the band. They sounded superb and a great atmosphere in the packed Academy.

Links234 · 19-04-2015 1:56pm

Heard nothing but great things, glad it was a great gig

Only a few weeks left before I'm headed stateside!

Nea · 19-04-2015 6:21pm

Stunning,stunning performance as usual from Anathema.

Great atmosphere at the gig,only gripe was hearing too many people talking which kinda ruined One Last Goodbye for me. Its such an emotional song it deserved more attention.

Darren White was in top form for the last set. It didnt feel like 3 hours, which is always a sign of a great gig.

seachto7 · 20-04-2015 9:07am

Heads up. Posted in the gig forum. Corrosion of Conformity coming to the academy and limelight on June 14 / 15.

When was the last time they played Ireland?

Definitely saw them in the point with metallica in the mid 90s.

Anathema were awesome, the 3 rd set was just amazing!

The Button Factory in 2011 original date got cancelled on the day of the gig but was rescheduled for a month later.

Hellos,

Anyone know much about Summer Breeze Festival in Germany? Has a well decent line-up for only €99

Links234 · 21-04-2015 8:10pm

Added citra hops to my brew, so it's gonna be a nice hoppy IPA, perfect for the summertime

Love me some Citra. I have an IPA that has just conditioned which has Citra in it. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it though. Not bad, just not what I hoped it would be.

I think I'll put on a Blond Ale soon and have something crisp, clean and session-able for the hot summer days.

In other news, I can see this new Boards layout being a right pain to navigate through.

Links234 · 23-04-2015 3:23am

Mine should be ready to bottle tomorrow or Friday

I'm excited to see how it turns out, first time adding hops

Links234 · 24-04-2015 1:34am

Anyone about?

I went to see the new Avengers tonight

Lithium93_ · 24-04-2015 1:37am

No Age Of Ultron spoiler please.

Links234 · 24-04-2015 1:54am

Oh I'd never spoil it

I will say this though, I could listen to James Spader read the phonebook.

Lithium93_ · 24-04-2015 1:57am

James Spader is a fantastic actor

, even in the trailers he made Ultron sound so evil.

Links234 · 24-04-2015 2:25am

He's just got such a sexy voice, it has to be said.

Links234 · 26-04-2015 6:54pm

I have bottled my beer

Oh my god it smelled unbelievable! :eek:

GLaDOS · 26-04-2015 10:39pm

Bottled my beer tonight as well.

It smelled very hoppy , though I'm a bit worried it'll be a bit overpowering.

Hopefully get something drinkable out of it

Passenger · 27-04-2015 5:23pm

You two should go into business together. Rock & Metal Brewing Company. :pac:

I'm gonna check out that new GBB pub, The Beer Market in Christchurch at the weekend. Speaking of which, anybody attending Skyforger in The Pint on Friday?

Links234 · 27-04-2015 5:39pm

Haha :pac:

I think a business is a long way off, making beer from a kit is one thing, real browing is a whole different beast. Requiring science! If only I had some sort of science nerd to help out there. :P

GLaDOS · 27-04-2015 5:47pm

Ha, I'm only a newb in the beer making department unfortunately, gimmie a few more years

I went to college with Chris from GBB, should have just followed him instead of the whole PhD thing :pac:

I'm excited and damn nervous too

Nice one, hope you have a good time

My girlfriend is headed off on her travels Wednesday week. Booked my flights over to her the other day, my poor bank account

Links234 · 27-04-2015 8:41pm

Yeah, I've been doing very little while saving up for this trip, and I think I'll seriously need to recover when I get back, then start saving again. I'll be broke for the entire year I think, but it'll be worth it

rainbow kirby · 27-04-2015 11:44pm

Have a great time

Have somehow managed to end up horribly busy at the moment, two weekends in a row with guests staying over with us, at the Yes Equality table quiz this evening, Sonata Arctica on Friday, rugby on Saturday... :eek:

Ah, you're keeping it frugal and saving for your holliers in the US, arent ya? Perfectly understandable.

I'm looking forward to the gig and a few brews. Gonna check out the The Beer Market in Christchurch. I'll take it from there.

Links234 · 30-04-2015 11:15pm

Pretty much, but damn is being frugal pinching me in the ass, so much stuff I wanna buy! :eek: New Payday 2 DLC is out, not buying it.

Let us know what the Beer Market is like, might be worth a look next time I'm Dubland bound
