You can 'unagree' to work it, surely? Because we're all doing Tedfest this year.

Right, folks?

83ste · 08-05-2014 12:28pm

It falls just after my birthday, and miraculously I'm not at a race track that weekend. I'm in.

Scarinae · 08-05-2014 12:38pm

Oh my god I want to go to this!

biZrb · 08-05-2014 12:59pm

I have to go to! I've wanted to go to a Tedfest for years, looks like amazing craic.

I might ask if I can do a different weekend instead. So want to go to TedFest

Do it! Do it! Do it!

I've just bought my ticket

Thanks for your order for tickets for Tedfest

Bless you my Son

You will go to Heaven

Now where can I get a nun outfit?

silvervixen84 · 09-05-2014 2:47pm

I'm in! Ticket bought and everything. Now off for a nice cup of tea...

Scarinae · 09-05-2014 2:56pm

Sure, didn't our Lord himself on the cross pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world? :pac:

This is going to be epic!

83ste · 09-05-2014 3:02pm

Got my ticket too.

This may need its own thread - dying to spam everyone with quotes!

The Good Ship has a super secret headliner this Bank Holiday Monday, might be worth heading along for a look, only £4 in advance, £5 on the door...

Lovebox in Angel is featuring Nas celebrating the 20th anniversary of Illmatic.

Also did ye know you can get standing tickets in Shakespeare's Globe for a fiver??

frag420 · 03-06-2014 11:53pm

Anyone going to Hyde Park to see Soundgarden & Faith no More next month?

Reekwind · 08-06-2014 6:45pm

Any trip-hop fans in the house? UNKLE are playing a one-off show this Friday at the Southbank. Looks quite tasty.

Seen them a few yrs back, awesome live!! It's a rare treat!

Reekwind · 08-06-2014 8:14pm

Yeah, big fan but never seen them live. So very keen on this if anyone is interested.

Fysh · 11-06-2014 4:27pm

I've already seen it, but if anyone is interested in seeing Ghost Stories, Time Out have half-price tickets (£19.50 down from £39).

Reekwind · 19-06-2014 8:25am

So apparently there's some kind of Twitter-powered treasure hunt in London this weekend. There are worse excuses to wander around the city in the sun.

exiledelbows · 27-06-2014 2:57pm

Apparently you can pick up £2.50 tickets to Arcade Fire next Thursday in Hyde Park here: https://bst-hydepark.axs.com/event/29zi6iw3i5nbw9xv/price/0fb7b452645

I'm still waiting on my confirmation, but this suggests they'll honour them: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/british-summertime-hyde-park-joyous-music-fans-keep-2-50-tickets-sold-error-1454443

frag420 · 28-06-2014 3:42pm

Anyone going to Black Sabbath in Hyde Park next Fri?? Mainly going for FNM & Soundgarden though...

Zippy1991 · 01-07-2014 12:58pm

Guy I sit beside in work is trying to shift 4 tickets to this.

£25 each.

Think the RRP is £55.

Just in case there's any Irish interest!!

PM me and I can put ye in touch.

exiledelbows · 01-07-2014 1:06pm

You sure he didn't get them for £2.50 and he's trying to turn a profit?

Hi just asked him!

Apparently he got them for free.

Hi lads,

A number of months a member of Shane McGowan's former band (The Popes) was struck by a hit and run and left with serious brain injuries. Shane is hosting a benefit gig in Camden Town for him. I know Paul and the Popes quite well and this is definitely a worthy cause and a chance to see some fantastic bands as well.

For those that are going to this, does anyone know if there's a dress code? I mean, do people generally turn up in costume? (And I don't mean as one of the Supremes.)

83ste · 07-07-2014 1:21pm

Got an e-mail from them this morning strongly encouraging costumes.

Reekwind · 07-07-2014 3:37pm

Bugger. I'd better get myself a 'I shot JR' t-shirt quickly then...

You should go as the Dancing Priest!

Reekwind · 08-07-2014 2:50pm

I do have the moves. It may be that or Eoin McLove, with his happy face

Scarinae · 08-07-2014 5:00pm

I got my nun costume today, not sure if any of the nun characters are distinctive enough for me to be a particular one though. Unless someone knows where I can get some Easter Eggs in July?

exiledelbows · 08-07-2014 5:27pm

Just cover your face in chocolate, they'll know

I am 50/50 whether I can go at the moment but if I cant you are welcome to my ticket. I'll let you know tomorrow

silvervixen84 · 10-07-2014 5:44pm

I'm also taking part in the lovely girls competition...

frag420 · 10-07-2014 7:22pm

The Pogues(minus Shane) are playing The Great Northern Railway Tavern this Subday night as part of the Hornsey Festival! Should be a riotous night!!

I saw them there on Sunday, amazing band. I went on the lash with them after and woke up at home with some young one's number and a copy of the Qu'ran. No recollection how I acquired either.

Well worth attending!

You are actually a legend - if I can bring anything for you, let me know! (except a cake jumper... I've already looked into making this and I don't have a cake tin big enough

)

I'll be the one dressed as a nun :pac:

Are you going to practice walking around traffic cones, or just wing it on the day?

83ste · 11-07-2014 1:52pm

'I SHOT JR' t-shirt arrived today, in the nick of time!

My abilities on the day will really depend on how many pints i've had up to that point.

Maybe you could blow up a couple of latex gloves if you're stuck? Otherwise nip into Primark and amputate a couple of the mannequins?

(I'm joking of course)

What's the name of that pub?? This is an emergency! It was like a f*cking episode of the Hangover, nobody could remember sh*t. I was last seen at the bar downing shots with the manager and barmaid before stumbling off into the night. I know one member of Shane's other band very well so that's how we got in.
