    Ever see the video for Negasonic Teenage Warhead? And if not, check it out. I want a convertible space ship car :pac:

    YUP! I remember that :D

    I'm pretty sure the last time I saw them, Wyndorf's guitar wasn't even plugged in and during all the lead breaks, he turned to face his (an) amp while the other guitarist was playing solos :pac:

    Morning :D

    how is all today?

    crumb, saw some live pics of Monster Magnet there, I thought Dave Wyndorf was wearing a chubby suit or something like Rammstein did in that video for Keine Lust. then I realized, he wasn't wearing a suit :eek:

    Morning everyone!

    Happy Friday! :D:D Hope you all have a deadly weekend.

    If anyone wants me I'll be bucket shaking in Temple Bar over the weekend during TradFest - the music may melt me though :o

    I did :D

    Was oodles of fun! I really enjoyed the Traditional Tea Ceremony and many of the panels. Met lots of people and got some photos - was fun weekend :):)

    I even got myself a Bulbasaur for my car and many coasters :p

    Then got FAAAAAAR too drunk >_<

    Hah! I was fairly hungover saturday and sunday :o no idea why because I didn't actually drink that much, but I was shattered afterwards. did you happen to catch my DJ set in the college bar?

    I don't blame you, I was there for Saturday and Sunday and I'm still tired, cause I haven't had more than 5 hours sleep each night since :o
    Very thankful I don't get hungover!

    I did catch it :) Enjoyed :D Said hi and thank you to you, walking by, you probably thought I was crazy person :pac: But then we were all crazy person that weekend :):D

    Thank you! Hope you bought nice things too ;)

    Just a couple of things, didn't have too much money. got a Death Note mug and Blue Exorcist and Black Butler T-shirts :D

    I'll have to think of a proper cosplay next time too, it's a bit odd always being asked "what's your cosplay?" and having to explain that no, I'm not in cosplay, this is how I normally dress :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,677 ✭✭✭Zwillinge


    Snap on money woes - Bulbasaur, too many coasters (guy did a deal with me) and I bought two cutesy fruit keyrings for my friends :)

    I wanted a mug for my coasters :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Mugs were only a tenner, which I found quite reasonable. I'll probably try to save up a bit more next con, but money's been real tight the last few months.

    Oh! I did enjoy the Japanese language workshop, the guy doing it was terrific and although he said I might be bored at it, I still learned a bit from him :D

    Yeah, he's certainly had a few pies since he gave up the booze and drugs alright haha.


    I'm doing great today. Really itching for this gig tonight. Had some issues with the promoter and sound engineer, nothing that can't be worked out, but now as a way of thanks, we've (me) renegotiated our position on the bill from second to second last out of five :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    cool! ;) hope the gig goes well :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,029 ✭✭✭salacious crumb


    Me too. Considering we've only been playing the three songs (we had to rework three Rory Gallagher tunes into our own style, now they're completely unrecognisable :pac:) for two weeks, we've got them pretty tight now, and it's all over the internets and there's looooads of people coming, so it could be our biggest and most important gig to date.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Oh wow, sounds amazing! :D

    it's on to headlining gigs after that? world tours? :D

    Hey Zwillinge, you're learning Japanese right? There's the Japanese forum on boards, it's pretty dead but I was thinking we get a few folks posting and it'll liven up no problem. Interested?

    Aye. It's the same with Jack Daniel's though isn't it? It's the iconographic associations with Rock/Metal that those drinks have as opposed to them actually being quality products.
