      although I did give it a plug yesterday, whatever that's worth. I'd like to see the Thekla one day, although I know I'll just annoy everyone else by referring to it as The Old Profanity Showboat throughout.

    You'll probably have to get tickets at the door now though (£8) or collect them from Bristol Ticket Shop in person (£6). Unless one of those sites does e-tickets. I don't know.

    £8 on the door. Still a bargain.

    • good luck!

      it's a great lineup. i wish i'd known about this a while ago, before i'd arranged to do things today! ah well. same weekend next year, RITE?

  • Thanks!

    • how did it go?

      did i miss out on lots of fun and amazingness?

      • Johnny Foreigner were brilliant

        munch munch I missed because I was talking to Let's Wrestle. Only me and 3 other people seemingly liked Let's Wrestle. I'm not sure they were great, to be fair, but I love them on record so it was difficult for me to tell.

        Adem was absolutely stunning. I was a little bit sceptical, because obviously he's quite low-key compared to the other acts, but it was such a perfect way to finish off the evening. He played his last two songs from the floor, and we all sat in a circle around him, and it was lovely, and he's also the nicest man in the world. All the bands I talked to - him, JoFo and Let's Wrestle - were really great people and a pleasure to put on.
