did i miss them, or have people had some self restraint?
fucking brilliant musically it was.
Reply
I just got home
:O :D :(
me too!
Where you been?
Actually, that could be a stupid question
Where are you living at the moment?
london innit
i went to a house party
High five!
I had to come to work today
I hate work.
and you didn't even
WANT to go to zonino!
No. No I didn't.
I am glad I did though, especially as I was more popular than you...
hello
i don't remember much. i DO remember throwing up on a nightbus and a woman screaming abuse at me. i laughed at her, despite having vomit on my trousers.
Was she screaming at you because
you threw up, or just because it was you?
the former.
i assume.
i'm actually not sure it happened.
it feels like it was a dream or something. my trousers are screwed up on the bathroom floor, i suppose i could check those but that would be a bit unpleasant.
you're some kind of a poet
...
there's vomit on my boots as well.
Pics or it didn't happen
you seemed
sober or at least close-to when I saw you!
lack of dinner = rapidly downhill
Eurghhghhhhhhhhh
:S
Apologies to
Zapsta
ZsaZsa
Mirri
Emmi
Also the girl who I walked up to and said, "I'm hollywood underscore freak from the internet" Turns out she doesn't really use the internet that much. This apology is pointless as right now she probably has better, IRL things to deal with.
was zsazsa there???????????
has she changed what she looks like??????
-
why apologies? did you offend me?...
i just thought you were fishplums for ages....
Yeah.
I think I made jokes about how you're a terrible mother. Also I asked what your vagina was like, considering all that baby you've queffed out. I think I also asked if your baby was mixed race.
ha ha ha
please tell me this is true
yep.
it's true.
Oh yes,
I remember now. It's ok, I took it all in jest.

MOOOTHERFUCKEEEEEEER
hey!
My journey home was a dream, it only took an hour and a half. Bye to everyone I didn't say bye to, which was most people really. I suddenly realised I was really quite drunk and should go home and talk less. (L)
I feel great
it was really great to see everyone again
Special thanks to Fergus and Martyn for standing my wittering.
I wittered too
so thanks! I seem to remember rambling about how one should speak to children.
My head hurts.
there were bands?
MATHS CLASS SLAY FACES
so when did bamos get
good taste in music?
OH NO HE DI'ANT
Did Maths Class
cut some one up??
I was far too hungover to go! DANG.
no
but the singer (who i think is the one that posts on here?) was wearing some kind of Winnie The Pooh outfit.
obvious
= tim from maths class
Winnie the pooh??
Dang should have been there with my damn camera...
Hang on
isn't tim the blondey one?
they were all dressed up
the guitarist was spongebob.
hello
yup i'm the singer from Maths Class. I'm so bloody hungover!
Got to drive to Weymouth now for Boring By The Sea.
There may be sickness on the way! ha ha
Had an excellent night last night. Thanks to all that watched us and especially the person who attempted to send me crowdsurfing.
Great times.
i think
that was alcxxk :D
it were me
nice to chat to you tim
ha ha amazing
thanks for that.
Yeh nice to meet you too. Fun times all round.
Was it good then?
I couldn't go because I'd just got out of hospital.
they have to clean up the mixture of doritos and strongbow i deposited on the floor of a 134.
You cant really diasgree with the policy
but it didnt really make any difference did it? Guntrip still drunk on public transport and threw up.
Tories in 2008- all principles of love and happiness, no substance or practicality.
GO TEAM ME
showing the tories for what they really are
one drunken puking incident at a time
So what are you implying?
That we shouldn't even try and stop this kind of behaviour?
No im not saying that at all
but claiming a hollow victory, in a 'we told you so' manner is indicitave of the conservatives popularity as a whole.
I have no idea what this means.
Bit over your head?
Im saying the tories are all about spin and policies that dont actually have any real benefit or effect.
If by 'over my head' you mean
that your sentence didn't make any sense, then yes.
'tories are all about spin and policies that dont actually have any real benefit or effect.'
A massive generalisation and one that clearly doesn't ring true.
Well in this case it does
it clearly didnt work last night did it?
And yeah its a massive generalisation, but are you actually claiming that 'Dave' isnt about PR and Spin, and that isnt why the tories are doing so well at the moment?
CG in not replying when he is losing shocker!
You don't know enough to be able to
back that statement up.
Like you dont know enough to think of a proper reply?
Yeah thought so.
No, it's more that I can't be bothered.
I'm at work and i've get better things to be getting on with.
right, keep telling yourself that
are you trying to say he's like a faulty USB stick
and he can't back his stuff up?
oooooh. he cussed you fucktherave.
was fucktherave there last night
I didn't talk to so many people.
I'm well hungry. Relevant? No.
nah i wasnt
sorry!
SHAME
is that sincere?
It really is
:)
i didnt have any money to go to london or anything! I met you at the last one though, you were just quite drunk i think?
I know
I actually turned up sober to this one. fancy that! I didn't leave that way though...
was it good?
7/10
NO! he was not sadly
i am hungry too. This is at least as relevant as alcohol ban/Tory discussion this thread is turning to.
i just had FOUR PIECES of toast.
i'm going to Brighton in a bit to get drunk on the beach with some friends, thus further sliding into a demographic the Tories dislike :D
gays?
watch it, pretty boy.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
aw i couldn't fight guntrip
he gave me a massive hug yesterday. aww.
i was full of zonino cheer.
beer*
that was just a random demographic of many i picked out of a hat
my next guess would have been illegal immigrants.
you think hes pretty do you?
GAY
Fucking hell
I hate this stupid fucking backward and plain wrong argument that Tories hate gays. There's simply no grounding for it.
no grounding at all?
yeah
the guardianistas just made it up because they hate tories because of some other things they also made up.
Urgh
All you have to do is look at the prominent placing of homosexuals within the Party:
Nick Herbert, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
Alan Duncan, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. Also the first member of a cabinet/shadow cabinet to have a civil partnership.
So that's why there's simply no grounding for it. And don't even suggest any of these appointments are token.
What do the Government have? Ben Bradshaw, and that's about it I think.
plus, some of David Cameron's best friends are gay!
:D
wonderful
A funny comeback I grant you.
But not a constructive one.
^That was in response to Gunty.
HAHAHA
"These appointments aren't token BUT IF THEY WERE we'd still beat labour cos they've only got one gay anyway so ner ner ner ner"
You really don't understand.
i love you CG
zonino = big lols
- them bbq sausages were delicious
- i got to wear the banana costume (WACKY FUN LOLS), but i looked like one of the white knights of alabama in it
- the people i met were allllll LOVELY
I MET YOU
briefly
indeed!
it was cracking to meet you :)
HI
PIP_!
it was brilliant
was ginally nice to meet bamos :)
where were you?!
I didn't see you at all
Neither did I!
I'm still hungry
Annoyed I missed restlessboy and Theo too.
i got there at about eight
and theo was hideously drunk AND wearing sandals.
Theo's organised sambuca fun time
might have been responsible for that. Not the sandals. I'm not sure who is to blame for those.
The sandals, the beard, the binary watch
I think Theo is my new hero.
I went to a street party thinking I would go to Zonino a bit later
This did not happen.
you missed all the mayhem you dirty flaker
just as well, because Rich abandoned us
zonino stole my voice
I still haven't found it. glad that dog didn't eat my face and testicles.
I met lots of lovely people. I'm going to examine my brain a bit to ensure I don't forget any. sorry for being terribly tired and emotional (aka drunk). The musics were exquisite.
But what actually HAPPENED??
I said some pretty racists things
then danced
And touched my willy
were you not meant to be leaving
early in the evening to go to that party?...
: |
I did leave Emmi. Then came back 4 hours later. But when you're so pissed you brain stops making new memories so it may have seemed like little time for you.
I just assumed that you were leaving
and not coming back. I remember speaking to you towards the end of the evening, though, so I wondered whether you'd actually left at all. Nothing outrageous about that really, is there...
no
also, you're actually quite pretty. obviously a nut job, but a hot one. x
:(
I'm not a nutjob.
^ this
we want gossip and we want it now
TWO PEOPLE WHO POST ON DROWNEDINSOUND KISSED!
And another two did also.
names
You don't want to know
i dont?
No :'(
:D
lolz @ ur pain!
zapsta and who?
im going with bamos
Not me and anyone
oh... can you just tell
Isn't this more fun?
NO.
TELL.
You don't want to know
well yeah
if you actually do tell at some point.. or give clues. yeah clues!
I think I've said enough
disagreed
harru and brusma
guntrip and ho_fo
we did have a cuddle on the nightbus
lovely
then I asked him why glasto was shit this year
and he shouted very loudly about it having a smelly black man headlining.
Not the thing to do on a night bus from Brixton.
shame on him
did he vomit on you?
alas
no
different nightbus
i was flying solo on that one.
*spewing solol
haha -
i meant "solo". but "soLOL" works too,.
the rest of us do!
Thank you one and all for coming.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves? Thank you to all members of all bands present, I appreciate you all helping to bring the party. Thank you to the Zonino Inc DJ Team for bringing the indie party.
My other highlights:
'When Will Ehwhat and Chris Alcxxk stand next to each other they look like the fucking Wright brothers'.
Seeing Tim off of the Windmill get so drunk that when we went outside to have a fag, he fell over and couldn't get up for ten minutes. You know it's a good party when one of the people who's supposed to be helping keep order is comatose on a pavement outside the venue.
Whichever idiot it was that broke the lighting rig. Proper idiot, that chap.
Playing so much air guitar that I think I've wrenched my shoulder out of its socket.
Seeing some particularly sexy relationships developing. Like a proper party, or something.
Dan-thw's sorry shorts-in-the-piss story.
Meeting some new people, and sharing tender loving kisses with some erotic people.
My rape cab driver trying to engage me in conversation about the Tings Tings album that I appear to have acquired from somewhere.
did anybody else have the good fortune to hear his story about how for years he thought that when the vikings invaded the british isles they didn't come by boat. Oh no, there was a land bridge from scandinavia to east anglia that they walked across. Amazing stuff.
Oh, and thanks Bamos!
Good work on the lighting rig. Are you going to need to find a new venue for zonino 4 now?
I'm dreading phoning Tim later.
Not least because I only have the ability to communicate in grunts at the moment.
There it is. Brilliant stuff.
Nice to meet you as well big guy.
Aye
you too.
:D
best photo ever
I threw u on the floor but ended up underneath you
BUNDLE!
thanks bamos!
Zonino was top stuff last night, everyone was really nice to me which I was glad for and kind of impressed.
Highs:
drunken Lightning Seeds singing with dan_thw
will ehwat trying to explain the land bridge the vikings used to invade england
JohnM shouting "Haha, yes!" after Alex-in-Ciderland introduced himself to me. i think he was hoping for a fight
the veggie burgers
tessellators
will ehwhat trying to explain why he cried over a Sarah MacLachlan song
ho_fo hitting on me
lows:
accidentally offending wikipedia's paul hawkins on the night bus
knocking a pint glass on the floor at the white horse, before i even got to zonino
forgetting my username when talking to harru
my abominable hang over this morning, interrupted by my american friends arriving at my flat at 9.30am, when i'd only got back 5 hours earlier :@
I hit you???
I said you had lovely eyes.
I wasn't hitting on you. I went and told other people how lovely your eyes were.
Not hitting on you. Just borderline gay.
:(
oh, i think i had hoped you were hitting on me :(
no-one else told me i had lovely eyes, anyway
haha
I forgot about the Ehwhat/Sarah McLachlan story. It was wonderful.
haha ehwat was so pissed
he wasn't even finishing sentences. but did have a groovy tache.
that lighting rig HIT ME IN THE HEAD
:(((((((
you're a funy guy sully
I like you
:-(
O dear
more pics plz
^ perv
so who fucked who
thats what i want to know
detail plz
i went to a house
and drank vanilla vodka and watched 'manimal'. pretty good times. bamos called me a "cunt".
hello everyone!
we just got home to Leeds, 12 hours after we got home to Sophies last night. The sun was actually above the horizon by the time we got to be i think :D
It was lovely to see everyone! I very much enjoyed seeing everyone :) thank you to:
Zapsta for keeping me entertained with a good heart to heart :D
phil for dancing in a banana costume less than the required amount of irony
the fucking retard who pulled down the lighting rig, who the fuck was that?
sophia for being an awesome dancer
the barbeque for being REALLY tasty
the drinks for being cheap(ish)
the dog for being cute and not biting anyones face off
sophie for being an awesome host, as usual
andrew wk for causing my foot to have a dent in it :'(
thommo for being great, yay!
everyone else i meet and did not meet for fun party times, zonino every weekend plz thanx
<3
Irony is a dead scene, cat
you knows it :)
thanks!
i hate my dancing, i get too excited, pinball into everyone and pull sex faces :(
it was lovely so spend time with you, as always xxxx
:)
"get too excited, pinball into everyone and pull sex faces"
that is precisely why your dancing is so great :D:D
:'(
oops that was sophia
aww, it's not a bad thing!
looking good whilst dancing is not a priority, as i'm sure the photos of me from last zonino will confirm :'(/:D
aww, it's not a bad thing!
looking good whilst dancing is not a priority, as i'm sure the photos of me from last zonino will confirm :'(/:D
i wish i had gone to this :(
the next one's gonna be better 'cause i'm going.
come?
yes
it wont clash with MBV this time :)
partybus?
oui.
it's a deal.
i'm coming to every zonino ever
Don't ever let anyone tell you that meeting people off the internet is a pretty sad thing to do. Meeting people off the internet is amazing in every way. I liked everyone I met for the first time, in particular I remember talking to Stealthy about classical music. All the conversations I had were slightly nerdy yet also incredibly cool.
My night was fucking stunning - thankyou to Bamos for organising the event.
i was too shy to talk to you
sorry. i wanted to thank you for being the reason i listened to Sonic Mook Experiment for the first time in about five years this week.
thats ok
I'm not intimidating though, honestly! Get a representative profile photo and I'll say hi to you next time!
i know you aren't
but socially inadequacy hit before i decided that yes, that was definitely you.
OHHHHHHHHHHH
You're you.
Sorry for the racism. Nice to meet you.
my memory is too crap
to recall the racism? But I do remember talking to you and knowing you must be someone off the forum but not really feeling like another one of those 'what's your username' conversations.
Nice to meet you to.
Were you the Australian?
Ummm... no
I don't see how I could possibly be perceived as being Australian. The racism must be to do with someone else.
Perhaps youre
talking about Bleak?
yes
:)
'twas nice to meet you. you were hilarious. apologies for drunkenness, and probably repeatedly telling you i was expecting to hate you.
Richard Browne Can Eat My Shit
Hello. More on that story to come.
Apologies to everyone I met. I was in a horrific state, and god knows what possessed me to dig out the banana costume. If I called you a cunt, I probably meant it, and if I didn't, I wish I had.
Highlights:
-paying a tramp £8 for a terrible joke
-mad dog 20/20
-jumping off a monitor and landing on Sparky Tom during One Armed Scissor
-Tequila suicides with Rich and Knapp
- Romantic Rights by DFA1979. I like to think I owned the floor
- That amazing conversation with Gareth which went on for ages. What the fuck did we talk about?
- -1111Aardvark
- Vortex with Moussee
Lowlights
- NO FUCKING SWEAT LOAF. I'm going to have Mahon's head for that one.
- Bamos breaking The Windmill
- Nearly dying on the nightbus
- Richard 'worse than Brian Haw' Browne abandoning me and the Knappster at The Windmill so he could go home and fornicate. What an epic cunt.
Tom from sparks is my hero.
Also
My hangover is epic. And I mean epic. I need help.
i drank 3 bottles of lucozade
in between last night and now. i feel GOOD.
I feel like death.
I banged on Rich's door about 4am, and ended up sleeping in a bed with tom knapp at mike hannah and toms at about half 5. horrifying.
urgh, nice work
it took us a LONG time to get home, but we had pasties from the 24 hour bakery and a futon. YAY! I did wake up with thommos feet in my face cause i turned round during the night :(
but i kept my socks on
believe me, that is the better of two evils.
also
at least you didn't wake up with my hips in your face like Sophie did on the night bus. Poor lady :( i hope the dry toast worked this afternoon.
it's ok
it was strangely comforting :D and they didn't smell as weird as mine did when i got home today after not wearing socks. It was kind of like pickles :(
i worried i was sweating too much again
sorry
i forgot about 1111Aadvark!
that was an amazing conversation :D
i tried so hard to understand that, failed
it was about whether you'd want your taxi company
to be first in the phone book, and what you'd call it
Haha, I wish I was there for that conversation
Did you know Alex Ferguson wanted to change Man Utd's name to 123 Aadvarks because if two teams finish level on points, goal diff, goals scored etc it's decided on alphabetical order?
ahhhhh
hence the confusion over rules regarding punctuation.
I wish you good luck in your impending taxi business venture.
i thought it was doctornovocalchords' business?
he's going to be a busy bee then
he agreed in principle to be part of my castlevania-themed screamo outfit. How's he going to fit running a successful taxi service into his gruelling schedule?
^this was so funny
the night is slowly coming back to me now
Please tell me you tried to copy cedric bixler during one armed scissor
like doing the dancing and everything?
I WILL (MAYBE) COME NEXT TIME
i bet he did, but it was nowhere near as elegant
Elegance vanishes pretty soon after you drink a half bottle of mad dog
And then proceed to snort salt, drink tequila and put lemon on your eye.
And then follow that by insulting Adam Pickering by saying he's like Yannis and his band are like Foals.
I am a terrible person.
lovely
i think that always happen, people get drunk and try to leap about like they are in a band, and to everyone but them, they arent gracefully jumping onto a speaker and off again, they are just launching themselves around the room. fun though :)
i went
didn't meet anyone.. but then i don't know anyone. good though, screaming tea party made me cum a little. and really really nice venue.
Classic Richard Browne line this morning
" I don't think people give me enough credit for how well I do with women"
oh dear.
oh dear indeed.
dick
oh dear
indeed?
zonino!
zonino!
Taken entirely out of context
I am not a rampant mysogynist. I know I've spelled that wrong as well.
oh and obligatory best disser what I did meat
hollywood freak. He's so blunt and yet so charming.
zsazsagaboring is possibly one of the loveliest people in the entire world.
keiths_tele is rad, and we are now brothers of a sort.
pip_ was very nice, and has a great music taste
I love Harru.
Awww! You were lovely
You also win the prize for managing to retain your cool while wearing a giant banana costume when first being introduced to someone : )
xx
For my 1st Zonino I really enjoooyed it
Sadpunk, Reece, Sophia, Lemonbric, Ehwhat, Bursma etc. etc. etc. etc. all lovely to meat you, very nice people :D
Mirri was awesome for letting us stay, one of the nicest and MOST PREPARED people I have ever met!
I really loved the music at the end, who was the final DJ?
O and pip_ was brilliant too
To everyone:
Sorry for bumming lighters, filters & papers all night. I lost mine :O swear to God, I even lost mine like 2mins after I replaced them.
pip_ was great
i have to check his band out. He says he sounds like Girls Aloud.
we really don't no more!
i kind of wish we did though. No Wave version of The Show could well happen in the near future...
this is pip_ on my friends computer. I didn't even realize he had a DIS account.
fantastic night :)
it was a bit surreal to meet you guys in person but i had a really great evening. I didn't see much of the bands but I had far more fun talking to you lot.
hi to all of you I chatted to, i hope i didn't freak you out too much.
I shall hopefully get tickets for ATP later in the year.
Take care everyone. i shall have to start posting more regularly now.
You have to because you promised you would!
..
returning champs Gaz, ZsaZsa, Stealthy, JoMaHo, miss squirrel, klaire: lovely to see you chaps again.
new contenders: Shucks (XBOX LIIIVE: JonnyRats), the internet's jamie summers (I think), Bleak (post more), sophiacherry, tuppence (where you go?), alex-in-ciderland (peace & love FTW), chiasc.. chiascuro? I can't spell. (whose ears are possibly a portal to narnia) tom_from_sparks (did you recommend a band called Labradford or was that someone else?), sadpunk, fergus (the no. 2 ranked SNK player in the country?), guntrip (who gave a hug so lovely that my legs buckled), mr alcock (why haven't they confirmed our flat yet? argh)
unconfirmed hits: to whom else were we having that lovely conversation about The Governator? the one that caused a lady to have to leave (was that tartrocker?) I was looking out for mr creakyknees.
if i've forgotten anyone do jog my memory. much is lost in the beer induced haze.
When I walked in I caught myself counting converse. there -was- a lot of converse, but also a surprising number of sandals..
oh and noiamnotduck!
and brusma!
'kin 'ell.
I remember
the 'governator' conversation, so I think you do mean me, but I think I did genuinely need more alcohol. I don't remember being offended??
ahhh good.
I thought we had bored you into submission. i was very impressed by your quicksharp answer to stealthy's 'top five albums' question by the way. I'm still thinking about it.
lol
i think my mouth and the truth had a bit of an argument thanks to the alcohol.
I just got home
:O :D :(
me too!
Where you been?
Actually, that could be a stupid question
Where are you living at the moment?
london innit
i went to a house party
High five!
I had to come to work today
I hate work.
and you didn't even
WANT to go to zonino!
No. No I didn't.
I am glad I did though, especially as I was more popular than you...
hello
i don't remember much. i DO remember throwing up on a nightbus and a woman screaming abuse at me. i laughed at her, despite having vomit on my trousers.
Was she screaming at you because
you threw up, or just because it was you?
the former.
i assume.
i'm actually not sure it happened.
it feels like it was a dream or something. my trousers are screwed up on the bathroom floor, i suppose i could check those but that would be a bit unpleasant.
you're some kind of a poet
...
there's vomit on my boots as well.
Pics or it didn't happen
you seemed
sober or at least close-to when I saw you!

Also the girl who I walked up to and said, "I'm hollywood underscore freak from the internet" Turns out she doesn't really use the internet that much. This apology is pointless as right now she probably has better, IRL things to deal with.

i just thought you were fishplums for ages....
Yeah.
I think I made jokes about how you're a terrible mother. Also I asked what your vagina was like, considering all that baby you've queffed out. I think I also asked if your baby was mixed race.

please tell me this is true
yep.

Oh yes,

So you've basically just proved Boris right?

You cant really diasgree with the policy

I didn't talk to so many people.
I'm well hungry. Relevant? No.
nah i wasnt
sorry!
SHAME
is that sincere?
It really is
:)
i didnt have any money to go to london or anything! I met you at the last one though, you were just quite drunk i think?
I know
I actually turned up sober to this one. fancy that! I didn't leave that way though...
was it good?
7/10
NO! he was not sadly
i am hungry too. This is at least as relevant as alcohol ban/Tory discussion this thread is turning to.
i just had FOUR PIECES of toast.
i'm going to Brighton in a bit to get drunk on the beach with some friends, thus further sliding into a demographic the Tories dislike :D
gays?
watch it, pretty boy.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
aw i couldn't fight guntrip
he gave me a massive hug yesterday. aww.
i was full of zonino cheer.
beer*
that was just a random demographic of many i picked out of a hat
my next guess would have been illegal immigrants.
you think hes pretty do you?
GAY
Fucking hell
I hate this stupid fucking backward and plain wrong argument that Tories hate gays. There's simply no grounding for it.
no grounding at all?
yeah
the guardianistas just made it up because they hate tories because of some other things they also made up.
Urgh
All you have to do is look at the prominent placing of homosexuals within the Party:
Nick Herbert, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
Alan Duncan, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. Also the first member of a cabinet/shadow cabinet to have a civil partnership.
Greg Barker, Shadow Minister for Climate Change and number 29 (down from 20 last year) on the 'pink list' of influential gays: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/the-iiosi-pink-list-2008-852032.html
So that's why there's simply no grounding for it. And don't even suggest any of these appointments are token.
What do the Government have? Ben Bradshaw, and that's about it I think.
plus, some of David Cameron's best friends are gay!
:D
wonderful
A funny comeback I grant you.
But not a constructive one.
^That was in response to Gunty.
HAHAHA
"These appointments aren't token BUT IF THEY WERE we'd still beat labour cos they've only got one gay anyway so ner ner ner ner"
You really don't understand.
i love you CG
zonino = big lols
- them bbq sausages were delicious
- i got to wear the banana costume (WACKY FUN LOLS), but i looked like one of the white knights of alabama in it
- the people i met were allllll LOVELY
I MET YOU
briefly
indeed!
it was cracking to meet you :)
HI
PIP_!
it was brilliant
was ginally nice to meet bamos :)
where were you?!
I didn't see you at all
Neither did I!
I'm still hungry
Annoyed I missed restlessboy and Theo too.
i got there at about eight
and theo was hideously drunk AND wearing sandals.
Theo's organised sambuca fun time
might have been responsible for that. Not the sandals. I'm not sure who is to blame for those.
The sandals, the beard, the binary watch
I think Theo is my new hero.
I went to a street party thinking I would go to Zonino a bit later
This did not happen.
you missed all the mayhem you dirty flaker
just as well, because Rich abandoned us
zonino stole my voice
I still haven't found it. glad that dog didn't eat my face and testicles.
I met lots of lovely people. I'm going to examine my brain a bit to ensure I don't forget any. sorry for being terribly tired and emotional (aka drunk). The musics were exquisite.
But what actually HAPPENED??
I said some pretty racists things
then danced
And touched my willy
were you not meant to be leaving
early in the evening to go to that party?...
: |
I did leave Emmi. Then came back 4 hours later. But when you're so pissed you brain stops making new memories so it may have seemed like little time for you.
I just assumed that you were leaving
and not coming back. I remember speaking to you towards the end of the evening, though, so I wondered whether you'd actually left at all. Nothing outrageous about that really, is there...
no
also, you're actually quite pretty. obviously a nut job, but a hot one. x
:(
I'm not a nutjob.
^ this
we want gossip and we want it now
TWO PEOPLE WHO POST ON DROWNEDINSOUND KISSED!
And another two did also.
names
You don't want to know
i dont?
No :'(
:D
lolz @ ur pain!
zapsta and who?
im going with bamos
Not me and anyone
oh... can you just tell
Isn't this more fun?
NO.
TELL.
You don't want to know
well yeah
if you actually do tell at some point.. or give clues. yeah clues!
I think I've said enough
disagreed
harru and brusma
guntrip and ho_fo
we did have a cuddle on the nightbus
lovely
then I asked him why glasto was shit this year
and he shouted very loudly about it having a smelly black man headlining.
Not the thing to do on a night bus from Brixton.
shame on him
did he vomit on you?
alas
no
different nightbus
i was flying solo on that one.
*spewing solol
haha -
i meant "solo". but "soLOL" works too,.
the rest of us do!
Thank you one and all for coming.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves? Thank you to all members of all bands present, I appreciate you all helping to bring the party. Thank you to the Zonino Inc DJ Team for bringing the indie party.
My other highlights:
'When Will Ehwhat and Chris Alcxxk stand next to each other they look like the fucking Wright brothers'.
Seeing Tim off of the Windmill get so drunk that when we went outside to have a fag, he fell over and couldn't get up for ten minutes. You know it's a good party when one of the people who's supposed to be helping keep order is comatose on a pavement outside the venue.
Whichever idiot it was that broke the lighting rig. Proper idiot, that chap.
Playing so much air guitar that I think I've wrenched my shoulder out of its socket.
Seeing some particularly sexy relationships developing. Like a proper party, or something.
Dan-thw's sorry shorts-in-the-piss story.
Meeting some new people, and sharing tender loving kisses with some erotic people.
My rape cab driver trying to engage me in conversation about the Tings Tings album that I appear to have acquired from somewhere.
Some other stuff I can't remember right now.
thank YOU
for sorting it out :)
x
thanks bamos!
The Wright Brother?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveonions/2621427748/sizes/l/
THAT WAS EHWAT?
Yep, that's him
did anybody else have the good fortune to hear his story about how for years he thought that when the vikings invaded the british isles they didn't come by boat. Oh no, there was a land bridge from scandinavia to east anglia that they walked across. Amazing stuff.
Oh, and thanks Bamos!
Good work on the lighting rig. Are you going to need to find a new venue for zonino 4 now?
I'm dreading phoning Tim later.
Not least because I only have the ability to communicate in grunts at the moment.
There it is. Brilliant stuff.
Nice to meet you as well big guy.
Aye
you too.
:D
best photo ever
I threw u on the floor but ended up underneath you
BUNDLE!
thanks bamos!
Zonino was top stuff last night, everyone was really nice to me which I was glad for and kind of impressed.
Highs:
drunken Lightning Seeds singing with dan_thw
will ehwat trying to explain the land bridge the vikings used to invade england
JohnM shouting "Haha, yes!" after Alex-in-Ciderland introduced himself to me. i think he was hoping for a fight
the veggie burgers
tessellators
will ehwhat trying to explain why he cried over a Sarah MacLachlan song
ho_fo hitting on me
lows:
accidentally offending wikipedia's paul hawkins on the night bus
knocking a pint glass on the floor at the white horse, before i even got to zonino
forgetting my username when talking to harru
my abominable hang over this morning, interrupted by my american friends arriving at my flat at 9.30am, when i'd only got back 5 hours earlier :@
I hit you???
I said you had lovely eyes.
I wasn't hitting on you. I went and told other people how lovely your eyes were.
Not hitting on you. Just borderline gay.
:(
oh, i think i had hoped you were hitting on me :(
no-one else told me i had lovely eyes, anyway
haha
I forgot about the Ehwhat/Sarah McLachlan story. It was wonderful.
haha ehwat was so pissed
he wasn't even finishing sentences. but did have a groovy tache.
that lighting rig HIT ME IN THE HEAD
:(((((((
you're a funy guy sully
I like you
:-(
O dear
more pics plz
^ perv
so who fucked who
thats what i want to know
detail plz
i went to a house
and drank vanilla vodka and watched 'manimal'. pretty good times. bamos called me a "cunt".
hello everyone!
we just got home to Leeds, 12 hours after we got home to Sophies last night. The sun was actually above the horizon by the time we got to be i think :D
It was lovely to see everyone! I very much enjoyed seeing everyone :) thank you to:
Zapsta for keeping me entertained with a good heart to heart :D
phil for dancing in a banana costume less than the required amount of irony
the fucking retard who pulled down the lighting rig, who the fuck was that?
sophia for being an awesome dancer
the barbeque for being REALLY tasty
the drinks for being cheap(ish)
the dog for being cute and not biting anyones face off
sophie for being an awesome host, as usual
andrew wk for causing my foot to have a dent in it :'(
thommo for being great, yay!
everyone else i meet and did not meet for fun party times, zonino every weekend plz thanx
<3
Irony is a dead scene, cat
you knows it :)
thanks!
i hate my dancing, i get too excited, pinball into everyone and pull sex faces :(
it was lovely so spend time with you, as always xxxx
:)
"get too excited, pinball into everyone and pull sex faces"
that is precisely why your dancing is so great :D:D
:'(
oops that was sophia
aww, it's not a bad thing!
looking good whilst dancing is not a priority, as i'm sure the photos of me from last zonino will confirm :'(/:D
aww, it's not a bad thing!
looking good whilst dancing is not a priority, as i'm sure the photos of me from last zonino will confirm :'(/:D
i wish i had gone to this :(
the next one's gonna be better 'cause i'm going.
come?
yes
it wont clash with MBV this time :)
partybus?
oui.
it's a deal.
i'm coming to every zonino ever
Don't ever let anyone tell you that meeting people off the internet is a pretty sad thing to do. Meeting people off the internet is amazing in every way. I liked everyone I met for the first time, in particular I remember talking to Stealthy about classical music. All the conversations I had were slightly nerdy yet also incredibly cool.
My night was fucking stunning - thankyou to Bamos for organising the event.
i was too shy to talk to you
sorry. i wanted to thank you for being the reason i listened to Sonic Mook Experiment for the first time in about five years this week.
thats ok
I'm not intimidating though, honestly! Get a representative profile photo and I'll say hi to you next time!
i know you aren't
but socially inadequacy hit before i decided that yes, that was definitely you.
OHHHHHHHHHHH
You're you.
Sorry for the racism. Nice to meet you.
my memory is too crap
to recall the racism? But I do remember talking to you and knowing you must be someone off the forum but not really feeling like another one of those 'what's your username' conversations.
Nice to meet you to.
Were you the Australian?
Ummm... no
I don't see how I could possibly be perceived as being Australian. The racism must be to do with someone else.
Perhaps youre
talking about Bleak?
yes
:)
'twas nice to meet you. you were hilarious. apologies for drunkenness, and probably repeatedly telling you i was expecting to hate you.
Richard Browne Can Eat My Shit
Hello. More on that story to come.
Apologies to everyone I met. I was in a horrific state, and god knows what possessed me to dig out the banana costume. If I called you a cunt, I probably meant it, and if I didn't, I wish I had.
Highlights:
-paying a tramp £8 for a terrible joke
-mad dog 20/20
-jumping off a monitor and landing on Sparky Tom during One Armed Scissor
-Tequila suicides with Rich and Knapp
- Romantic Rights by DFA1979. I like to think I owned the floor
- That amazing conversation with Gareth which went on for ages. What the fuck did we talk about?
- -1111Aardvark
- Vortex with Moussee
Lowlights
- NO FUCKING SWEAT LOAF. I'm going to have Mahon's head for that one.
- Bamos breaking The Windmill
- Nearly dying on the nightbus
- Richard 'worse than Brian Haw' Browne abandoning me and the Knappster at The Windmill so he could go home and fornicate. What an epic cunt.
Tom from sparks is my hero.
Also
My hangover is epic. And I mean epic. I need help.
i drank 3 bottles of lucozade
in between last night and now. i feel GOOD.
I feel like death.
I banged on Rich's door about 4am, and ended up sleeping in a bed with tom knapp at mike hannah and toms at about half 5. horrifying.
urgh, nice work
it took us a LONG time to get home, but we had pasties from the 24 hour bakery and a futon. YAY! I did wake up with thommos feet in my face cause i turned round during the night :(
but i kept my socks on
believe me, that is the better of two evils.
also
at least you didn't wake up with my hips in your face like Sophie did on the night bus. Poor lady :( i hope the dry toast worked this afternoon.
it's ok
it was strangely comforting :D and they didn't smell as weird as mine did when i got home today after not wearing socks. It was kind of like pickles :(
i worried i was sweating too much again
sorry
i forgot about 1111Aadvark!
that was an amazing conversation :D
i tried so hard to understand that, failed
it was about whether you'd want your taxi company
to be first in the phone book, and what you'd call it
Haha, I wish I was there for that conversation
Did you know Alex Ferguson wanted to change Man Utd's name to 123 Aadvarks because if two teams finish level on points, goal diff, goals scored etc it's decided on alphabetical order?
ahhhhh
hence the confusion over rules regarding punctuation.
I wish you good luck in your impending taxi business venture.
i thought it was doctornovocalchords' business?
he's going to be a busy bee then
he agreed in principle to be part of my castlevania-themed screamo outfit. How's he going to fit running a successful taxi service into his gruelling schedule?
^this was so funny
the night is slowly coming back to me now
Please tell me you tried to copy cedric bixler during one armed scissor
like doing the dancing and everything?
I WILL (MAYBE) COME NEXT TIME
i bet he did, but it was nowhere near as elegant
Elegance vanishes pretty soon after you drink a half bottle of mad dog
And then proceed to snort salt, drink tequila and put lemon on your eye.
And then follow that by insulting Adam Pickering by saying he's like Yannis and his band are like Foals.
I am a terrible person.
lovely
i think that always happen, people get drunk and try to leap about like they are in a band, and to everyone but them, they arent gracefully jumping onto a speaker and off again, they are just launching themselves around the room. fun though :)
i went
didn't meet anyone.. but then i don't know anyone. good though, screaming tea party made me cum a little. and really really nice venue.
Classic Richard Browne line this morning
" I don't think people give me enough credit for how well I do with women"
oh dear.
oh dear indeed.
dick
oh dear
indeed?
zonino!
zonino!
Taken entirely out of context
I am not a rampant mysogynist. I know I've spelled that wrong as well.
oh and obligatory best disser what I did meat
hollywood freak. He's so blunt and yet so charming.
zsazsagaboring is possibly one of the loveliest people in the entire world.
keiths_tele is rad, and we are now brothers of a sort.
pip_ was very nice, and has a great music taste
I love Harru.
Awww! You were lovely
You also win the prize for managing to retain your cool while wearing a giant banana costume when first being introduced to someone : )
xx
For my 1st Zonino I really enjoooyed it
Sadpunk, Reece, Sophia, Lemonbric, Ehwhat, Bursma etc. etc. etc. etc. all lovely to meat you, very nice people :D
Mirri was awesome for letting us stay, one of the nicest and MOST PREPARED people I have ever met!
I really loved the music at the end, who was the final DJ?
O and pip_ was brilliant too
To everyone:
Sorry for bumming lighters, filters & papers all night. I lost mine :O swear to God, I even lost mine like 2mins after I replaced them.
pip_ was great
i have to check his band out. He says he sounds like Girls Aloud.
we really don't no more!
i kind of wish we did though. No Wave version of The Show could well happen in the near future...
www.myspace.com/manflumusic
oh my god
this is pip_ on my friends computer. I didn't even realize he had a DIS account.
fantastic night :)
it was a bit surreal to meet you guys in person but i had a really great evening. I didn't see much of the bands but I had far more fun talking to you lot.
hi to all of you I chatted to, i hope i didn't freak you out too much.
I shall hopefully get tickets for ATP later in the year.
Take care everyone. i shall have to start posting more regularly now.
You have to because you promised you would!
..
returning champs Gaz, ZsaZsa, Stealthy, JoMaHo, miss squirrel, klaire: lovely to see you chaps again.
new contenders: Shucks (XBOX LIIIVE: JonnyRats), the internet's jamie summers (I think), Bleak (post more), sophiacherry, tuppence (where you go?), alex-in-ciderland (peace & love FTW), chiasc.. chiascuro? I can't spell. (whose ears are possibly a portal to narnia) tom_from_sparks (did you recommend a band called Labradford or was that someone else?), sadpunk, fergus (the no. 2 ranked SNK player in the country?), guntrip (who gave a hug so lovely that my legs buckled), mr alcock (why haven't they confirmed our flat yet? argh)
unconfirmed hits: to whom else were we having that lovely conversation about The Governator? the one that caused a lady to have to leave (was that tartrocker?) I was looking out for mr creakyknees.
if i've forgotten anyone do jog my memory. much is lost in the beer induced haze.
When I walked in I caught myself counting converse. there -was- a lot of converse, but also a surprising number of sandals..
oh and noiamnotduck!
and brusma!
'kin 'ell.
I remember
the 'governator' conversation, so I think you do mean me, but I think I did genuinely need more alcohol. I don't remember being offended??
ahhh good.
I thought we had bored you into submission. i was very impressed by your quicksharp answer to stealthy's 'top five albums' question by the way. I'm still thinking about it.
lol
i think my mouth and the truth had a bit of an argument thanks to the alcohol.
You!
I remember vaguely! What a lovely man you are!
