Just seeing Kenny Taylor's post has reminded me of something I got through the mail earlier in the week.
I ain't entirely sure what it's supposed to be - book readings? poetry? deejays? what? But it does go under the Hac-ee-ender banner and it does appear the South Bank will have a Tony Wilson room for one night!
EDIT: just booked tickets for this (er, whatever it is?!) and there's only a few left!
So who else is going to this. And seated?? What is that about! What is it does anybody really know

I presume it's not actually seated, as such, and that's the way they've just laid out the website for purchasing tickets.
Everyone receive a phone call from the organisers recently?.
Know they called Al, Nick King and myself on Friday asking which room the ticket was for?!. There's a choice of two rooms and they barfed up the e-booking system so you didn't actually have to make a choice at the time.
Anyways we've all gone for the Tony Wilson room with Dave Haslam on decks. Shame, was looking forward to seeing Henry Normal. Er, he's not.

I think we might need some - Terry Christian and some other people talking, followed by the Dave Haslam club bit at the end... (If I'm reading the blurb correctly)...
Although, I have heard some of Josephine Oniyama's stuff (singer/songwriter), and it's not bad at all...

Not only that, but in addition to the phone call, I've just this minute received an e-mail asking exactly the same question - they obviously didn't take that much notice when I gave them the initial answer on Friday morning!

Haslam is defo dj'ing, ain't he? The blurb seems to be selling him as Haslam 'the author'!
I can see us doing a pub crawl down the Cut by 9pm!

I *think* that's what the blurb says (i.e. the two rooms converge after the readings/poetry/music)?
But, yeah, pub crawl might be better! 
So that'll be the witheld number that I didn't bother answering on Friday afternoon.
They rang every ticket buyer!!
Pub crawl sounds good 
reg wrote: I bought a ticket for this but have never received them. So what is the plan??
Me neither, when I phoned up, just take your confirmation e-mail with you - that'll be enough to get you in... It *may* (according to the box office) turn up later on this week, but I wouldn't hold my breath! :)

(And, please, no one just type 'getting cnuted?')
Apart from getting cnuted? 
Well, meet up in the pub opposite Waterloo station (forgotten the name - will have to find out) about 6'ish, I've got to go and get tickets half-an-hour before it's due to start, we then go to performance, find out it's crap, then go back to said pub until it closes? :)

Sounds good 
I was trying to think of the name of that boozer too. Old skool place. Opposite the front of the station, other side to The Fire Station/McDoanlds etc. Gary and Gordie always go there. It'll come to me.
I shall meet you in there about 6 - 6.30.......Ness and I were going to go for dinner first but she has a few things to sort out now and will meet us there, or at the venue!

Well, at this moment in time, I'm supposed to going out with a couple of mates tomorrow, but that could change... :)

Scary - Just got a text from Jarvo as I was typing
Dave Haslam is now an honorary Viking, he has our new badge (see JG's avatar)
Apparently it's a bit poncey, they are only serving weak beer, but apparently there's a few of the usual suspects out and Dave has half of Colombia in his pocket.
Outstanding

He's fuckin' not an honorary Viking
Looked at the badge blankly and put it down by his decks.
Never put it on and apparently gave it to some bird who clocked it later in the nite
And most of the stuff he played was shite

What a surreal night!
As per our now usual Friday nights, Ness and I managed to polish off a bottle of wine in record time before making our way to the event - to which we all turned up late, in true style, and stood at the back of the 'blue' room like naughty school children late for an assembly!
JG led us eventually to our seats where we listened to a lady read a poem from a book - by this point Nick's naughty laugh was starting to creep in and i had to keep pinching myself as not to get the giggles! Luckily, next act on stage was a fantastic comedian from Manchester who had us all in stitches, followed by a lady from Manchester with a guitar who played some good songs!
Half - time.....more drinking - phone pit stop for Nessy and me!
Second half was Terry Christian reading some stories from his book - was pretty funny, wound up by Dave Haslam reading the conclusion from his book 'Manchester England'
End.
More drinks and Dave Haslam DJ set......Nick, myself and Ness dispensed outside to watch the congregated Iron. Beautiful it was!!
Ventured back inside, music set was average......
Al, Gem, Ness, Nick and me all left for last train home.....(why did you all bail out at warren Street?) By coincidence, my fella was drinking in Barnet last night - I managed to get home at a good time, even managed to upload pics on facebook, then 5 mins before he text me to see if I was home yet so he could come round - I fell asleep and only got the message at 8 this morning! Big fucking oops - have I got some explaining to do today!
You lot get me in so much trouble - but another fantastic night, love my new Viking badge and nice touch to also give one to Joe who is very proud of his Viking roots and his badge collection - thanks, Mr Jarvis!
Lovely to see, JG, Leggy D and Andy who i'd not see for a while........as usual, much love, Ness (we're becoming more inseperable - people will start talking), JG, Al, Gem, Vinny, Nick, Andy, Leggy D.........
Happy days people! See you next week to do it all again!

"congregated iron" that's a cockney term for a collection of poofs isn't it?
nice to see you were quite specific too
Er, noooooo, the congregated iron was actually a fireworks display going off.
Nessy said she could hear fireworks - i told her not to be so silly as it was congregated iron shutters shutting - er, and then a few rockets went off in the sky - so Ness was right!
edit: just had this debate with Will, we know it's corrugated iron - but at the time, i called in congregated iron (because i couldn't remember the proper name) and that's why the theme was carried on in my post for Ness and Nick who were there at the time! So apologies for confusion!
