POPTIMISM TONIGHT

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It'll be like a great night out in the pub - BUT WITH POP!

It will also be FROM SEVEN in records-playing terms, not from 8! And from six you will be able to come along and meet poptimists in their NATURAL HABITAT.

Because this won't be just a room full of the usual mob who already know each other this is an EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY to come to your first ever Poptimism, if you were feeling shy of it.

OT but, whyeee DadPop for Neil? He's fabulous, camper than Glastonbury and is the only person I know who can shamelessly pull off a gold cowboy costume and a camped up South American military dictator uniform!

Cos he looks like a Dad in that pic.

As a Dad myself I fully endorse this!

[yuxonomei.livejournal.com]

I endorse it as well!

Pop needs more cool Dad types.

ITEM!

ITEM! We will start getting there from SIXISH and probably start playing records at SEVEN, not EIGHT as per silly flyer - Tom can you edit the post pls :)

Oh so are you saying this is actually in the pub proper rather than a little room out the back?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I believe this to be the case!

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

yes! we are in amongst the "usual" punters.

what this means in practice: us getting asked if we have "any r&b" about 20 times...

[hoshuteki.livejournal.com]

Well I hope you do! The poster promises some...

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

you don't seem to understand. we have had ppl come and say "have you got any r&b?" in the middle of playing beyonce...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I have a soca track which rips of Ne-Yo if that's any help....

[hoshuteki.livejournal.com]

Oh, presumably the more blues-y 50s-type thing, then? The music that was so liberally drawn upon at the dawn of rock 'n' roll?

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

nah, they mean modern young person's r&b, just "not that chart sh!t" you see...

[hoshuteki.livejournal.com]

Oh you mean that stuff wot is famous from the back of the bus and other favoured locations? It's usually just Ak0n or someone like that isn't it?

I don't think I am coming, since I feel rubbish (a really rotten cold on top of my usual depression troubles, plus I was out the last two evenings). I may yet decide to pop along briefly, if I feel better rather than worse an hour from now, but don't expect me.

Ach, I'd like to come but I'm not very well today and must conserve energies for Club Mental. Another time...

Supposing I am not being taken out back and flogged by my bank come August, would there be likely to be a Poptimism at some point in said month? I feel I should attempt to attend one whilst bumming around Reading, since this fabled Londinium place is apparently not far away.

I don't know - depends if we get more chances at this venue (I hope so cos it was LOVELY), if the old venue finishes its refit, etc etc

"Watch this space!" I guess!
