I was on the verge of tapping said PWEI fan on the bonce to tell him I too, suffer, and have one of the original pepsi logo t-shirts somewhere. but i desisted, thinking this would mark me out as musically marginal. but clearly there were more than two of us.


Sean do you know every eighties musician that gets mentioned? Were you a venue manager, or a drug dealer or something?


What's the time? It's def con one!


Ultraconsultancy

I'd say Jah is about right with 60 or 70 - quite a few crowd-refreshes tho so it may be a bit higher - at any given point, just standing in the room I counted 30-40, add in the significant smoking contingent* plus those people who came and left early or arrived late and I'd say 70-80 maybe?


Ultraconsultancy, firstly t'was great to meet you on Friday. Secondly I did nothing of the sort but instead spent my teens/20s in rural Ireland and then middle-England devouring the 3 main music weeklys plus whatever monthly variant came out. Jah started to speak to me about music at one point on Friday but I sort of moved away from the subject because I feared I would bore the bejasus out of him ... As is evident from my forum use, when I get into something it veers towards the "heavy"


* on the smoking note, I'm not sure what the smokers think but if that room had us in it when smoking was allowed it would have been hell up there

Sean, I'm sure you wouldn't have bored the bejasus out of me by talking about music. I think you'll find I can be just as obsessive. It's only a few short years ago that I finally weaned myself off reading the NME every week. Still get Mojo though.


Yes, those stairs were a bit scary and if us smokers had been up in that room it certainly would have been damned foggy up there even with the windows wide open.

Was that before or after you made me eat a whole sqaure of cak ein one go..??!:))

Thanks for organising such a great party - really enjoyed it!

Looking forward to the next get-together already - and I'm saying that after going to bed at 3.45am last night after the soap awards!

just found this...


yes, it was a truly a great night and I was excited (very sad I know) to try and guess who was who from their sign in names...I couldnt believe how many people their were either. I dont think I got the chance to speak to half of the people there... In case anyone knew who I was - petite girl with fringe with a very tall boy and who kept saying 'Im from the wellbeing well!'!!!


Met some really lovely people...

Hope to meet again at some point

And it was nice to meet you too, hyounan - (was it you who offered a free massage or am i thinking of someone else?) sorry if I wasn't making much sense - my party ettiquette was rather the wrong way round: say hi to all the people I know first, then, when I'd had a few, find people I didn't know. Good form.

    • I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this  branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, like Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one don’t fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldn’t there be more flexibility? I’d love to hear what others think—should this policy be reconsidered?
    • I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that it’s so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think it’s lovely that they’ve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. I’d also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldn’t romanticise the skate park - they’re not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I don’t think it’s hugely affecting the community, but let’s not pretend there isn’t some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and it’s often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Let’s use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs. 
    • This kind of thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286379655798?_skw=vw+front+radar&itmmeta=01JNGWMJGWJBG0HRT2XS211T68&hash=item42ad8ec276:g:ZHUAAOSwJdFnxhF9&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dY%2BfrruzZmTdah0d0nXmXVc9FNiTWblTNNY8jXn37QS%2BAVkwkKSljysp3AMj48HKn63sLwl6BYEqy685rlqwWykTX8It5nPW2FAOfewwqb0iEuSPS6%2BmFgBLH75xBeWGHsV%2BgkvvBmlxApgnovZUAVP7QA6XPgyIZDu54SPmrp0v5AtIDU8Mg4O7QJ5gZF%2FBfgePNdu0vc2xLzsSBPoF1Wh84K6OElw3PZl585iPqbaEIvTGa9J3glnIrh5i4SwrG8SmrOtb9gMt3%2Bovwifcz%2FC5GaC59xp%2FP%2B2iKeJcsw5w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMgqnSnKxl
