Hey I was just reading the Post Express and Glen Tilbrook is playing the Birchmere tonight.
Why did no one tell me?
Is anyone going?
-
BOLLOCKS!
Why did none of you more "music savvy" bunch tell me? You failed me miserably, my one chance of a decent show all summer and it's gone.
Are you going markie...I may try to swing it, he's probably taking the stage about 6pm knowing the shushmere though.
-
As I said I only just found out.
I dont have an easy way of getting out there.........
do their shows really start that early? Apparently there are three people on the bill.
I thought you knew about it and were listening to the singles in preparation. I got that album for a $1 a couple of months ago. I must have listened to it 25 times already.

Get the metro to crystal city and jump in a cab, it's just down the road from there, about 2 miles or so.
I don't think I can go, I can't get out of work on time. If things change though I'll let you know later this afternoon.

Ok Mankie.
I will sit by my computer in antici...............pation
here are the details:
VH1 presents Glenn Tilbrook, Angie Aparo & Jill Sobule
Date: Wednesday 9/3/2003
Time: 7:30 PM
Cost: $20.00
so Glenn wont be on till late anyhow.

HEY TWAT! I was just trying to be nice, I thought you were looking for someone to go with.
Are you sure it's not all three performing together? The shushmere shows are usually finished by 10pm so I can't imagine them having three different performers in that amount of time, that would only be about 30 minutes each if you consider set-up times.
Who are the other two anyway?
-
Acoustic solo acts require no more than 5 minutes to switch.

no I was looking for a two-way lift. I would have ignored you inside the place. Either that or I would keep saying, "Dad, who is this old guy" ""Dad, now you have made me come to see this show, you have to come and see britney spears with me". "DAD" "DAD" "DAD" "DAD" "DAD" "DAD" !!!!!!!
Oh, I mean, yes, I was just trying to be nice.

Yes, I think that is how it will be.

jill sobule of "i kissed a girl fame" and member of lloyd coles backing band "the negatives"...
and where were you when glen tilbrook played the iota several times? i never seen him solo but he apparently tries to get audience involved and did a congo line out of the iota once.

Don't flatter yourself, there's no way you could pass as my son, younger brother at best. (Especially with our noses)
And isn't it about time a man in his 30's bought himself a car? You sad, sad wanker. At least get yourself a bicycle and I'll buy you the clips for your trousers.

Oh DAD, dont be mean to me!
Actually I went mountain biking a couple of years back with a friend, who is younger than you and he picked up the mountain bike rental cost. I said, "thanks dad!". The cute girl behind the counter goes, " I wish my dad went cycling with me." My mate was livid.
I always get ID'ed everywhere I go. If I turn up after my wife often they will then ID both of us.
Back to Glenn.....
I didnt know he played iota, I dont pay much attention to iota. Once in a while it seems that that is a bad mistake.

guess i wouldn't be a good time to mention chris difford was doing the solo thing around these parts in the past either :roll:

You are pathetic.
That's like knowing Lennon but not McCartney
Or
Morrissey but not Marr
Or
Elton John but not Bernie Taupin
OR
Peters but not Lee.

Or Harold and not Maude?

HEY! She looks like a slimmer Nora Batty!
-
I thought that. And the guy looks like Rhett......
-
or is it Eastenders Ethel, holding her little willy? <img src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/characters/images/ethel_s1.gif" alt=" - " />

Is Rhett still donning that bob-cut that he thinks is so cool and trendy?
I was hoping Celeste had changed that as her first order of business.
-
My hairstyle now looks like the same out of date Caesar cut that yours is. But it's growing back.

Yes, he cut his hair real short, but isnt it a bit gay to talk about other mens hairstyles?

Not when we're discussing a "Simple Minds" cut!
Rhett, why did you get your hair cut in the shape of a salad? Is that the new Red Room look?
-
I wonder if Celeste would find Mankie's short hair as gay as she finds mine? Well, my gay hair will be gone in another six months.

Male balding kicking in hey?
My hair is not gay....gray maybe, but not gay!
Actually, I've always kept my hair short. I've tried to let it grow but after being in the military for all that time, I can't do it, it just pisses me off. I have such lovely thick wavey hair too....well that's what all the girls tell me. ;)
-
My sister in law says this cut fits me because it hides my "receding hairline".
Celeste likes it longer, even with receding hairline (minor at this point), so she'll probably get her way...
C'mon take a walk down 17th Street and all of the gayboys have the same short haircut...

The gay crowd tend to have that flippy thing in the front, or the "just been given a noogie" look, that lulu seems to get horny over.

what a coincidence...i'm listening to "swingin doors" the kexp alt-country show, and they just played this very song...
After his current solo tour, Tilbrook plans to return to Liverpool to record with different musicians. In addition to covering "The Genitalia of a Fool" by Texas country swing band Cornell Hurd, he plans to include his own original songs for a forthcoming, sophomore CD.

That's because you're in DC! Even I get carded there everywhere I go. :roll:

No she will order a drink, all will be fine till I turn up, then we both get carded.

Markie...even I get carded in DC..especially in Adams Morgan. Believe me, it's only funny for a while, it gets really fucking annoying when you go north of 40.
You just reminded me. On Monday I was in a local beer/wine place and a couple of hispanic blokes buying some beer. The woman carded the one paying but he didn't have his ID with him so it became a problem....a Korean lady with broken English trying to tell a hispanic dude with broken English he can't buy beer....in the end he had to call his SON over to buy the beer because he had his wallet with him. I don't know about anyone else, but when you have a son old enough to purchase beer doesn't it cross the line of stupidity to require id yourself?

Welcome to America, Mankie! :D :roll:

i'd go if he was back at iota and he was going to lead the crowd into the parking lot for a group sing along of pulling mussels from a shell.

i'd hope a cab at braddock road. should be $5. or you can take one of the buses and they go right by the birchmere. i've just shared cabs back to the metro with other patrons once the show is done. the food there is utter shit though so eat ahead of time.
