Am aiming to be in London for about 6 at the latest. Dunno about Sanctum, it requires crashing at somebody's pad, so I'll play it by ear...

If the company's good at the Rocket we'll just stay there mate smile
maelwys:
Yep, I'll be the long haired drunken ginger geek proping up the bar. Should get there around 6ish.

I think the sites new look will take me a long time to get used to. I just hope it stops giving me headaches, I have to do a 5 minute burst of posting and take a break for a while!

added some new photos today - don't get too excited though...

so, the holiday was awesome, Rancid and Alkaline Trio were both fantastic last weekend, and everything went to shit...

Luckily I'm off the antibiotics now, which is good - the ears still feel a bit weird, but they will sort themselves out soon I guess whatever

Was it that long ago that the Royal George changed? I know I hadn't been there for a while, but I didn't think it was that long ago.

I will definately pop along for drinks before the gig and, assuming there are tickets still available on Monday when I pop into the City, the show itself. Two days off work along with beer and music is just to good to resist smile
maelwys:
Oh yeah, mini-mosher at gigs. Me and my mate refer to them as 'targets'. Damn wheres and evil grin smiley when you need one.

Rancid were surprisingly great though - haven't seen them for...

4 days to go - and I'll be in Florida! eeek

booked tickets to go see MXPX and Dashboard Confessional @ The House of Blues - not too sure about seeing DC, but it'll be wicked going to a gig whilst on holiday. Plus the HOB looks like an awesome venue. biggrin

this does mean that I'll miss the SGUK London meet, but hey, I'm sure there...

So that was ace, Cherry liked my desktop I did for her! I'm glad that someone appreciated it! wink wink wink

seriously though, there are some fucking awesome designers on this site, who can do the most amazing things with Photoshop and Fireworks. Fireworks is my preferred tool (oo-er) of choice, and I can be quite a demon at doing stuff for the sites I work on. But...

If you're in Cardiff, be sure to go to Surfers on a Thurs cuz they've got a wicked metal night on at the moment there.

Yea I have surpassed the worrying stage, I'm just in denial now wink

cherry:
I haven't liked any of the Tomb Raider films, and I hated the games. I also don't see the fascination with Miss Jolie... ::shrug::

But I like my desktop! biggrin

Cherry xox

P.S The secret lies in using both Photoshop and Fireworks along side each other wink

drunkpunk:

I was clapping and dancing like a loon earlier during the storms, only it brightened up and got clammy again! hehe! I think you should ask about starting a 'crappy contributors' sg group... That way I know who to contact to fill in my application!

I wasn't too horrified by "Fall back Down", but there was something intrinsically disturbing about Kelly Osborne and a random face from Good Charlotte being in the vid.. Nothing against em personally, just don't crash peoples vids... wink v78 @_@
drunkpunk:
You still going to the Distillers gig tomorrow mate?
If so, i'll try and keep an eye out for you in the 'pub across the road'. How will i be able to spot you? A red rose in your buttonhole maybe? A rolled up copy of The Times perhaps? Or will it be SG shirts at 20 paces? Unfortunately, i think mine is in the wash frown
