Big News: I popped into the venue there last night to sort some stuff out and it has been transformed! I think it was designed with the noc forum in mind! Everything from the music and movie posters on the walls.....down to the Bram Stoker's Dracula pinball machine!! This night just keeps getting better!!

Galvasean

Epic. if this goes well we may have anew Noc hangout spot on the cards...

ToniTuddle

It sounds awesome

Like will it be a case of you not being allowed in until the doors open at like 8 or something......

Or

Is it a regular pub and you can be in there all day on the beer if you wanted too? :pac:

Galvasean

nothing to stop you going in early... and watching me and grames calmly and collectively finalising preparations...

Where you there too??

That was friggin hilarious :D:D

Nevyn

Yes I was and I must say that yellow day glo hi vis vest was rather fetching on you.

Shiminay

A great night apart from all the ignorant arseholes who wouldn't stop talking whilst the acts were on. Wouldn't have been as much of a problem if the venue's sound hadn't gone pop and they'd arranged a proper replacement for the lads, but what can you do? Top notch line-up though and a great show. GG to Commander Bond and Galvasean as always.

grames_bond

Huge thanks to anyone and everyone who came to the gig and made it such a rip roaring sucess! Great gig, Great night for a Great cause!

Roll on next year!!

Futurecrook

Thanks for all your hard work Grames! And Seán! From what I remember it was a great night! Really liked the MC and American guy.

Ha! Oh Lordy

Some friend of a boardsie gave it to me as a birthday present even though I didn't know her.

Then some other girl came up to me and said it was hers and wanted it back so I gave it back :pac:

Was I speaking to you at any point or standing near ye....?

Were you beside DeVore or Dav or like....other boardsie folks I might have chatted to/known about? I can't remember clothing due to the alcohol in my veins where the blood should have been :pac:

Definitely must make it to next years one and round up even more folks to come, was really fun night

Galvasean

It was a great night... except when that crazy woman with the glasses started yelling at me :pac:
