# Woo to you!
Blackpool was very cool thanks - I spent the entire weekend wasted and disgraced myself in front of MANY magicians!

How was your gig?

# Cool!
I remained completely sober and disgraced myself infront of MANY jugglers ;-)
(Although prolly not as many as you did with magiciany types iyswim)

I've got my first ever paid standup comedy gig tomorrow night though... erp!

Stand up is the scariest thing I have ever done.

# ah the first
gig always goes slightly wrong. You wait til the inevitable 4th or 5th gig when everything is perfect but hardly anyone comes. Then the next gig you play is in front of nearly a thousand people and you're back to problems again. it's brill.
(I helped save b3ta! shindig, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 13:48, archived)
# well there was only about twenty people there this time.
define "hardly anyone"....

I jumped on my wah pedal too hard to turn it off, and botted it off my pedal board, which pulled all my leads out, and im the only guitarist, so it sounded shite for like 30 seconds whilst i got my shit together.

# haha
brilliant. I had blood all over me at our last gig. I got all excited in the last song and jumped and banged my head really hard on a metal girder above the stage. finished the song tho. just.
(I helped save b3ta! shindig, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 13:59, archived)
# i fucked my neck up
from over vigorous headbanging....

i bust a string on an improvised funky jam too, and then played the next song with five strings. and my mic wasnt on for the entire gig, so i couldnt do backing vocals...

# good good
glad to know that doesn't just happen to me then. we should get a collaborative b3ta metal band going. give a tempo, and a key, and then build up from there. I think.

im already working on a b3ta track with koit entitled "brimful of mindpiss" but a metal b3ta band would rock!

(I helped save b3ta! bovine I'm so old, even my old is old, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 13:58, archived)
# Yay!
I wonder if I can combine the two...

No doubt I'll do it at the BJC at some point - You still up for travelling into london on the friday night?
I doubt I'll want to drive it, but a party on the train could be fun!
(I helped save b3ta! LP, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:00, archived)
# Heh,
see below.
We could do, it'd be a laugh, alhough getting back might be a pain.

# There are trains
back to three bridges every hour throughout the night. I guess I could drive to three bridges and we can get the train from there...

I just don't really fancy trying to park in london
(I helped save b3ta! LP, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:05, archived)
# yeah
some kind of park and ride option may well work. And having had a deeper look, I thin the bash is quite near Charing X station, and it looks like there's a train from there to Brighton at 23:45, which sounds a bit more civilised than what I said below
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:08, archived)
# That sounds
alright.
Although how near to Brighton station is the BJC site?
(I helped save b3ta! bovine I'm so old, even my old is old, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:10, archived)
# I think it's
a ten minute train ride. The trains sound kind of local, so I'm guessing that's not all that far by taxi if needed, but I'm making this all up as I go along.

edit - but this is all detail. I reckon with the three bridges (Is that by Crawley?) idea, it sounds like we shall go to the ball. Somehow.
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:12, archived)
# cool,
well I think I'm going to say
"Yes, I'm up for making the trip... somehow" and am willing to drive for a park n ride solution

I'll let somoen else sort out the details of which trains/stations we need
(I helped save b3ta! LP, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:16, archived)
# that all
sounds like enough of a plan for me. We can work out the actual details of it as and when we need to I reckon!
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Tue 4 Mar 2003, 14:20, archived)
# I did think that parking might be aproblem.
Unless a nice b3tan has some parking space that could be used.
We could go up there earlier if needs be.
Of course that's if you ewant to drive, if you don't don't worry.

# Excellent stuff! Good luck.
If you're ever working on the Gloucester area, let me know.

I've always wanted to do stand-up, but people like Thor tell me that I shouldn't. I've even read the Jay Sankey book in preperation.

Speaking of Gloucester... any more for any more?
