[D.o.S.]

Will there be punch and pie?

Also, you're in the UK now D.o.S?

Yessir. I moved over in March-ish.

Ok, so, new page, time for a new post detailing some of the ins and outs of what we have planned so far (which is pretty up for debate):

Building on the neverending and galaxy spanning success of ILFEU the last couple of years me and D.o.S. have endeavoured to establish a UK version.

Major details are 23-25 March 2018, London, UK

Other details to be finalised!

But be assured there will be gear, girlz, g-alcohol and g-fun.

Sign up here, serious applicants only!!

btw if anyone is coming from or can fly to the north we can travel in glorious style in my automobile with way more gear.

This is all true.

So far interested parties, in the thread and in general discussion elsewhere include:
1.coldbrightsunlight
2.D.o.S.
3.Drod (probably)
4.Goroth
5.Eivind
6.Scruffie(!)
7.You!

23-25 March 2018, London, UK[/b]

This is Friday-Sunday, the weekend before our Easter bank holiday weekend. The general plan is to get together with some gear in a space (to be determined), hang out and play with fancy gear from around the world (or at least Western Europe), see some sights, drink some booze-y booze, and maybe hang out with some builders? Including Scruffie. I know Rainger is around here, and I'm sure there's others.

So what we need to figure out between now and then. And by "we" I mean mostly "me" because I'm the half of the planning squad that is local.
-- Housing for folks interested. I can house maybe two or three people, but spots might already be taken. We had a big hostel squad in Oslo that worked well and was pretty cheap, I assume folks coming in from out of town can find something similar.

-- Gear and a place to use Gear! This is where I am drawing the biggest blank, simply because I don't have any knowledge about rehearsal space or the like in this city beyond some cursory Googling. suggestions here would be much appreciated. London isn't a particularly small city so finding somewhere that fits our needs shouldn't be too terrible.

-- Other stuff to do! Pub and culture is a given, and if the weather's nice we can totally rock a Slayer-riffic picnic in the park (as is tradition), but it'll be March, so "nice weather" is up for debate. suggestions here would also be much appreciated.

But general itinerary is as stands:
Thursday night: Folks arrive, things are dropped off, we find a rad pub and go have drinks, then an off-license to have more drinks.
Friday/Saturday: We jam, do something cool in the park?/Meet some builders? Try some cool gear?
Sunday: We jam more, people leave?

Sound good to errybody?

I'm in if we play war pigs

[coldbrightsunlight]

We always play war pigs?

[SquareWaveFuzz]

Missed out on this years ILFEU so am definitely down for this, no excuses

Also, long time no see guys, I'm still alive

[goroth]

Can I come over a day early and we can a slot in a pilgrimage to Birmingham?

[goroth]

Fuck. It'll be 50 years since Sabbath formed.

We have to pilgrimage.

[ognoy]

I'll try to make it. To early to say for sure, but most likely I'll be there.

[MechaGodzilla]

Can I come over a day early and we can a slot in a pilgrimage to Birmingham?

If this happens, I'll probably be able to come and say hi.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Can I come over a day early and we can a slot in a pilgrimage to Birmingham?

It is on my way to London. Also not really any Sabbath things to pilgrimage to though

[DRodriguez]

Scruffie, bring a Warbler to try out please!

[Scruffie]

Scruffie, bring a Warbler to try out please!

I can't promise i'll show up cause shit like this makes me super anxious and i'm crap at long term planning, but if I do, I will bring one (a member that does demos will have the prototype model in a couple of weeks though so demo's soon!) and maybe some vintage EHX or summit.

If I do show up, be prepared for a near 30 year old that looks like a young and healthy (non skag addicted) 20 year old version of Pete Doherty who has a fear of cameras

It's been over 10 years but while it was a shit hole, Scream studios in south croydon could be a place to jam, they had big rooms, a bar and it wasn't insanely pricey for 4 hours of jam time... maybe not the best suggestion but no one else has given a place yet.

And if anyone is coming from the East Sussex/Brighton area lemme know.
