9th October
and I'll be in Oxford, but can travel. I just can't stand the thought of having to see people on my birthday it seriously depresses me. I don't mind going out/ having a party on a different day, but not on the actual birthday day

The Architecs are playing the Academy in Bristol on the 9th.

Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult over 18 Under 21s require ID to purchase alcohol. Take that birthday person.

I'll be an ancient 22
Thanks, but if my dad knew I went to Bristol and didn't pop in he might be a bit puzzled

Well based on info above.
You'll not need ID to buy alcohol, and you'd be able to go on your own.

Why not pop in and see your dad around your birthday? He might have a pressie for you.

He probably does
what are the Architects like?

Plus this year is shit, all my friends live outside college, and I live in it, so I won't see them at all.

Metal
I'm sure the kids would be able to tell you what 'branch' of metal to which they subscribe.

Not my thing at all.

You can come with me and my pals to KRS1
on Oct 2nd if you like. Proper hip hop - even if you think you don't like 'rap' (I certainly don't) KRS is brilliant. I saw his last UK show and I've only seen an audience go as mental as that a handful of times in my life.

I cannot fucking wait.

Gotta say, whilst rap isn't my thing.
I do enjoy a bit of hip-hop and KRS One ticks the 'JeffTheDogFucker likes it' box.

Not so fond of the rap/hiphop stuff
but thanks anyway. Happen to know of anything happening on the 9th by any chance?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 10:30, Reply)

What sort of thing are you into?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 10:31, Reply)

some metal, classic rock
bit of electro, listen to classical music. I'm pretty easy music-wise. Only stuff I don't listen to at all is rap/hiphop, pop (with honourable catchy exceptions) and country

...it's in my reading week.
Surely it's in the middle of your term?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 10:52, Reply)

The 9th is a Saturday

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 10:55, Reply)

For some reason I thought it was a monday.
That's why I'm getting confused.

Would kind of defeat the object you you spending your birthday alone though :P
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 10:59, Reply)

I'd ignore you completely
and sit in a corner haha

But yes that's true. You've planted an idea though. A weekend break alone could be possible

INCEPTIONNNNNNN

I've been sat here, trying desperately to remember the name of the venue in Oxford.
That my girlfriend and I went to when we stayed there for her birthday weekend a few years ago. They had either music or comedy on most nights and I was thinking that they were bound to have something decent on for a Saturday night. I was getting so vexed as I searched the internet, that I resorted to e-mailing my girlfriend.
It turns out that it was Cambridge we stayed in. Ah yes, I remember it well.
Anyway, they've got Yes stalwarts Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson on, if that's your thing.
