Turn Gig

Bob Sakamano

Who do ye reckon the special guest is?? Glenn Hansard always seems to show up.

Amz

Well to be honest...

the two or three threads regardxing this and the ads on the radio have said that it's Mundy and BellX1

MrGump

Dear God lets hope Glen Hansard stays away!!!

Amz

Good God yes I hope so!

Kurdt

its mundy but apparently his manager doesnt want him to do it, if glen shows up i'm prepared to lob a bottle at his head his fat red bastard head

JJ

...and I hope you get dragged out by your stupid ass.

thedrowner

im with kurdt on this one
even tho i like the frames
hey, by the way...story for that day is we're meeting at handels at about 4.30

i will try and get comps if theres any going.

lamda

Hmmm i'm still in two minds whether to go to this gig....
I don't particularly like the vast majority of Turn songs..... hmmm it depends how drunk I get at the pre gig drinks.. i may be feeling generous with my miniscule funds:D

beretta_surf

the confirmed support acts are bellx-1 and holden. both quality bands. as for the "very special guest", i have to agree with the anti-glen stance on this one. i like the frames, but i'm sick of every "special guest" being himself. i would personally like alice cooper to be the special guest. now *that* would be special.

i'm working till 6 bells on thursday, so won't make the handels pre-drinks. which is probably a good thing, as i don't plan on drinking for the turn gig anyway.

nonetheless, i will see you all there. my regards to you all.

thedrowner

u ARE coming to my pre drinks gig lamda

you are

or tere will be no singing of the chirstina aguilaera in an operatic v0ice for YOU

Amz

Ah lamda you have to go!!!

Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

thedrowner

amzy-i-think i love you
but i wanna know for sure


****
im not sobein up at all.

whose idea was it anyway, for me to come online at this hour?????????

Amz

I don't know!

but whoever it is they've got to me too!!!

Ugh! I need bed! so tired after dancin my little tooshie off hehe!

Glad you got home safely Vodafone decided to go arseways on me on the way home so I'd to run from bus stop!

Arg! anyway People have to go to this gig and together we can cause GBH to mister H****** tus ensuring no one person can be prosecuted for such antics!

It's all in the name of good fun!

lamda

Well I never realised I was so popular - its a new occurrence and i'm not sure how to deal with it!:p
Anyway relax girlies I shall be at the drinks... and MAY go to the gig but if the promised GBH on Hansard is promised i'll definitely be there!! FUN!!!:D

johnnynolegs

i shall be at the gig but not the drinkypoos people

hey i guess ill see u at the gig lamda seeing as how ur in love with me and all

this new found hatred of glen hansard is bad news for me methinks . i hope i don't get a bottle in the face as a case of mistaken identity . Katy and Pip shall know the reason why

thedrowner

he he

aye. tis a poor poor poor misfortune to look like the man that everyone is plotting against. poor JNL. can't believe ur not coming for the pre drinks thing. we'll also head up to vicar st after handles so u better be there (to buy me at least ONE drink)

ah...i wont have a job after this night!

amz-i have a blister. it hurts!

johnnynolegs

sorry i can't go the pre thingy drinky thing a me jig cos i am already taking 2 days off next week for travelling to gigs and that so................

yeah seriously anyone before u smash a bottle in mr. hansards face can u just politely ask if it is actually him just to make sure (phew i should be ok now)

I feel your pain!

I smacked my hand off a wall and its all cut and bruised! Arg!

frank05330

you can all rest safe cos glen hansard and the frames will be playing in london union chapel that night and doing a bbc session.
so you can all stop bitching bout him. does anyone actually have a legitimate basis for hating him? do ye know the guy? ****s.

so anyways, back to the T U R N gig, i reckon its mundy supporting.

MrGump

Lamda may love u johnnynolegs but she offered to marry me, or as she says her "friends" offered her hand in marriage to Mrgump.
I dont know. Back to turn, i wanna go, but someone one will have to pay for me
lamda? as a wedding present:D

and frank - thank u! didnt wanna see that fat red b*stard until witnness, i cant rest easy.

lamda

Oh Gump, you and your ways.. its not a very nice way to treat your future wife - sluttin her around the internet and giving her phone number to any weirdos that I may have on my messenger list ( I have severe doubts about that jonny fella!!)
Anyway, I thought we agreed the marrying age to be 35?? That way i'll be dead!!
Also as you well know I can't share the wealth until I actually have some. And when that day comes, your wedding present shall be a Kim Wilde gardening book.

velma

oh lamda. when will you admit the truth? i was there the night you confessed your love for the aforementioned johnnynolegs. i distinctly remember u saying to me "i love jonny and must tell him of my love.....again." and getting ian to cover for you is just low. also ian use your student loan to go to turn. how much money are you really gonna need in Germany? chocolate is minging over there so thats gonna save a hell of a lot of your cash.

lamda

Oh Velma Velma Velma you are about ot enter a world of pain!!!
This was between me and Gump and you had to barge in thinkin you're all funny! Well we'll see who has the last laugh!!!



I really wish I had something to follow up this threat with

thedrowner

you always have ur wit dearie....always have that.

wow

i am impressed with me...less 30 minutes online checking my mail and the messageboards.

MrGump

Thank god someone finally spoke the truth Velma, i can nolonger lie for u lamda, its too much! U need to admit your feelings for/to johnny and move on! He'll understand, he may even return your feelings of LOVE, then u can have legless children and live happily ever after.


Prepared Speech for Lamda (to Johnny)

Lamda: Johnny i have something to tell you.
PAUSE
Johnny: What is it Lamda?
Lamda turns, walks away, turns again to johnny. stares into his eyes.
Lamda: I dont where to begin, its all so new, so exciting. It began around a year ago, we ran into you walking home from whelans, it was there, at the central bank i realised i loved you.
Johnny: you've never said anything before. why now? why here, on a public message board.
Lamda: I dont know- maybe its just our time?
Johnny: Maybe. but im a comedian Lamda, and that will always come first.
Lamda: I understand, but im willing to settle second - for you.
Music starts, Readers choice- Romantic, Rock, Porn-funk.

End scene one:)

lamda

You're an idiot

MrGump

Im an idiot!? For what ignoring my love of johnny, oh wait that is YOU!

Back to Turn - Im not going. cant afford it. But ill go to the drinks thing.

johnnynolegs

Velma - thanks for being a wintness to all this now i finally know the truth

Drowner - thank you for the confirmation texts yesterday see u on thursday p.s. why do i owe you a pint?

johnnynolegs

thedrowner

*ah*

johnnynolegs

Your more Glen Crowe then Glen Hansard........
Woo hoo a (slightly) obscure Eircom League reference, thats gotta be a first on these pages

johnnynolegs

no way if i was going around saying what's the bleedin' story then i would be more like glenn crowe

ah last night at the gig being dragged around by a drunken person who kept introducing me as glen to somewhat confused people who looked at her like she was mad

oh and rocking gig by the way aswell

Raggamuffin

I did'nt goto the gig, i wonder why?

maybe because Turn play like every fortnight.... just maybe?
anyway the last album launch in the music centre was a little bit more humble.
no Glen hansard i might add.

Did anyonne notice Royal Tara China Company (in Galway ) is closing down.

My mammy is'nt happy (actually she's surprsiingly up beat...)

Amz

Great Gig!

Had fun!

Support were a bit shoite!

meh!

Probably goin to see em in Kilkenny too hehe!

Anyway well worth checkin out! Hope you all enjoyed it!

thedrowner certainly did!

Anyway I'm off to buy ice cream Nyom!

Toodle pip!

thedrowner

can i just tell you how much i despise anyone who bought me drink last night? (i know amz was one, JNL's mate was another, wacker....ur all on my hit list )
i spent this mornig vommiting up bright yellow stuff (another colour to add to my impressive multi coloured vommiting list). and im not looking forward to the rollicking/slagging i will get in work tonight.

twas a good gig-the new stuff sounded great
and yes, the support were crap.

i think i said stuff to ollie at the after show party. oh goodness.

Amz

I blame David!

thedrowner

ha ha
blame the unblameable

beretta_surf

ah drowner, if i'd known you were as drunk as i was, i would have poked more fun. as it was, you got off lightly with nothing but a "howya"... after which i must have gone and done gymnastics for 2 hours as i couldn't move the next morning. i pulled every muscle in my body several times over. man alive. good gig, glad i'd seen turn so many times before as i can't remember what they played. their concerts seem to improve under the influence. hmm.

anyway. yeah. good times. amz, nice to finally put a face to the name. and to get corrected on pronounciation of said name. cough.

thedrowner

he he
yup, ive also managed to banjax my body thanks to various alcohol sponsored moments. between saturday and sunday i have broken 4 ribs, can't talk and ans snapped my calf muscle in 2*









*please note i am exaggerating. i am only experiencing mild pain in these areas. nothing to write home about

Amz

/me looks at half written letter and livejournal entry entitled "What thedrowner Did"

*sigh*

Nothing else to write home about to be honest

johnnynolegs

beretta were u there - i thought it was u i saw but u weren't wearing your glasses am i right

hey drowny don't be blaming my mate for buying u drink what really happened was he got a bottle instead of a pint and rather than just go back with the bottle he gave it to u and went and bought a pint god some people are soooooooooooooooooo ungrateful

:P
