Thurs 26th Offline special: JOSIE LONG, ukuleles, comedians and more!

[spanglechick]

i had a good time. it was all lovely and we didn't get home tiil gone two - so it must'vve been entertaining to keep the boy out that long on a work night.

good to see people at last - my hermette ways are finally over!

(especially onkette, who gave me a really lovely warm welcome, and then told me i'd bruised his ribs! )

 

[Dubversion]

Wicked night!

Great bands and comedy

Shame I chatted shit to the manager of JAMM at the end

which one - J******* or M***** ?

 

[alien nation]

It was a fantastic night. Josie Long was sooo good - i'm a fan now. Get her again Ed!

Those Yukes were great too - excellently funny - could'nt watch them without a big grin

 

[gaijingirl]

Just googled, and apparently it's a vibraslap

ooh what a great instrument - I always thought a vibraslap described the action of my buttocks being smacked...

She was brilliant and I'd love to get her down again, but I reckon she's well on the way to megagig stardom now!

She was a really nice person though. She was dead nervous before the gig too.

The ukulele band were real fun. In fact, it was a great bill last night - one of the best we've had.

And we got a good crowd there too! <phew!>

Oi, it's Onket! I ain't no bird!!!

And the ribs were already bruised, you just squashed them a bit! Ouch!!

Good to see you too mate, been a long time.

Woman with dyed blonde hair ...?

 

[spanglechick]

I like "Onkette" - it brings out your feminine side...

 

[Onket]

Suuuuuu-per, super doooper.

Etc.

Mon.. she's

 

[beeboo]

Nice coat Onket

 

[Biddlybee]

Where was he hiding? I missed him!

Not sure, I just bumped into him on my way to the bus stop... nice surprise

 

[Biddlybee]

The noise it made, made me think of speedy gonzalez

 

[beeboo]

This is probably a stupid question but...

Were the Dulwich Ukuleles playing covers?

 

[Onket]

Nice coat Onket

Nice hair beeboo.

 

[onemonkey]

ukes weren't as numerous as expected but nonetheless excellent.

josie long was incredible... pure natural comic talent and charisma..

and thanks to the man in the nice coat my journey home was very wobbly

She was fantastic - a real talent.

Here's a pic of her in the Australian bakery that has a picture of a bloke with an angry face on their branding.

 

[zenie]

where's the pics then?

I'm disappointed that the angry face isn't visible in that picture

I just spent 20 minutes trying to find the company's 'angry face' logo on the web to no avail.

 

[Termite Man]

Josie Long was fucking brilliant , and so were the ukulele people although there was way less than 100 of them ( I would have demanded my money back if it wasn't free ) . They sort of reminded me of tom Waits but with ukuleles which was cool

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who has wasted half of the afternoon on this endeavour!

 

[Guineveretoo]

He said it was a 10 person band, but only 8 last night. So, I wonder why they call it the night of a 100 ukuleles?

They don't - the guy was saying last night that they always get called the wrong thing. Apparently they particpate in/organise the "Night of 100 Ukuleles" - which I understand *does* have many more ukuleles, perhaps even 100. But they're actually the "Dulwich Ukulele Club"

Blame editor


Apparantly there is a night of 100 ukuleles rehersal in the Hobgoblin on Aug 4th if anyone wants a bigger uke fix

Ah, I missed him saying that.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Ooh, they have got a myspace page, too.

Rather garish!
