Sasha at Loft Studios in 2012 was fucking epic. Think that’s where that photo-shopped to death thing was from. Anyone got a copy of that?

    Dan Fantastic track - yeah I can remember that London car park gig being the same weekend. I can imagine the sets being incredibly similar.

    Seems like a lot of us were at the Manc one.

    Dan I was there for that one too - got chatting to him at the end and he gave me a copy of his Live at Avalon CD numbered 0/10000… so shouldn’t really exist. Think that was also 2006 from memory.

    Along_the_Wire That doctored photo was hilarious - be good to see it again if anyone has it.

    I also had a ticket for that but couldn’t go in the end because I ended up getting attacked the night before - proper hospital job. Gutted.

      PDJ I ended up getting attacked the night before

      Certainly Ed’s fault given his turgid reputation in the north.

        Was at the Shoreditch car park and the Loft gigs. Great nights

          Irks me somewhat.

          Was asked to by one of my clients, informed them I had no preferred pronouns, which I really don’t.

          Flummoxed them a bit so they moved in

            I remember Spooky being a bit of a letdown that night, playing a load of wishy-washy prog for a warm-up. Think Sasha just about rescued it…

            Old-Dutch Drunken Monkey pre gig bites and Plastic People afterward. Ended up chatting to Demi in there.

              Yeah I get it. Being where I am, we have A LOT of trans patients and coworkers. The email thing, I was told, is really there to keep us mindful. But I’m with you, call me whatever. Pongwater works. Where I get lost is the they/them. If you’re trans, that’s pretty fucking obvious. But if you’re just choosing to be non-binary, don’t get pissy if I’m not perfect all the time.

              The funny ones are those who went through hormone therapy at like 18 only to realize later on that, actually, they’re just gay. Hard to turn back the clock on that one! Happens a fair amount with trans men. Growing beards and shit. Nah, you’re just a dike. Nothing wrong with that.

                Does that happen a lot? Asking for a friend (Millsy).

                Pongwater has changed his tune.

                He told me his preferred pronouns were ghim and ghey.

                Not sure if Pongwater is a low-T male or a high-T female. Zackster to confirm?

                  Remember the sound being terrible throughout one side of the room in Manchester and spooky were really boring. The ending was bloody fantastic and never realised the set was available.

                  Made me laugh!

                  Used to love the Drunken Monkey.

                  The Loft gig was Steve Marx’s leaving do before heading back to Australia. Back to mine afterwards for an almighty session. Remember the weather being absolutely amazing the day after. Beaming sunshine T-shirt weather in November
