Hey all. To celebrate my 30th I'll be up in London from Friday 29th February to Sunday 2nd March.

On the Friday I'll be popping along to Treadwells for this:

29 February 2008 (Friday)
Archaeologies of Consciousness – Essays in Experimental Prehistory
Book Launch Event with Panel Discussion
Gyrus and Friends
Free, but booking required to be added to the guest list
7 – 9.30pm. Panel Discussion from 7.30 – 8.15pm.

Besides editing and publishing the acclaimed Towards 2012 and Dreamflesh Journal, Gyrus has been writing about sacred sites, prehistory, altered states and shamanism for over a decade. This is the first collection of his essays (with a foreword by the inimitable Julian Cope), ranging from idiosyncratic takes on English landscape goddesses to works engaged with the cutting edge of academic research into the significance of trance states in prehistoric rock art. Active magical engagement with sites, especially those around Avebury and Ilkley Moor, has formed an integral part of much of his research. Scholars keen to learn more about how personal experience can inform research, magicians concerned to infuse their speculation with academic rigour, anyone interested in open-minded approaches to prehistory… all are welcome!


And on the Saturday I'd like to find a place where I can have a drink with you lot. Preferably one where I won't get too cold when I go for a smoke. If there's any interesting events/gigs happening on the Saturday then we could switch to afternoon drinking. Any ideas for a venue?

Please come.

There's also a possibility that I'll be playing a show in Southampton on my birthday itself, Thursday 6th March. This is a bit up in the air as we no longer have a venue, but I'll keep you posted.

I might well be up for this. Would be fuckin' great to see you again, I'm getting a bit of money in from a job just completed and I'm also still a bit gutted that I missed the big Barbeblowout just afore Christmas.

I shall keep an eye on progressions stated herein.

Ah, that'd be great to have you down for it. Bumps up our sexy good looking quotient no end.

We're going to be drinking here on the Saturday: The Abbey, Kentish Town. Executive decision, Flyboy style.

What was that about wee wanky pants?

We wankers in CA will think good thoughts your way. While wanking. Happy birthday!

I'll bring my wanking claw then, shall I?

18:16 / 06.02.08
Please do.

I've just realised that this conflicts with another Barbelith related bash on the same night. How would people feel about switching to the Sunday (2nd March)?

I'll be there for the Sunday, and if things evolve for the Saturday too; if there're any further developments on the Thursday please consider me up for that also.

All that's needed is for the Rukia Kuchiki body pillow I ordered to ship before March and we're in business.

I can probably do the 2nd of March, if only to batter Seth around the head for the discourtesy of being younger than me...

Seth posting as Ben...

I reckon I'll be making a weekend of it, with celebrations on both the Saturday and Sunday. If we start early enough on Saturday so that those going on to the other party don't have a conflict... say 1700 at The Abbey (with carefully paced drinking, I hasten to add. I can't put 'em away like I used to).

What shall we do on Sunday? Any thoughts, ideas?

We're going to be drinking here on the Saturday: The Abbey, Kentish Town. Executive decision, Flyboy style.

Kentish Town is an up and coming area.

But even if it wasn't I'd still be along, you handsome devil!

Happy Birthday! I wish I could be there!

So we're definitely doing 1st March at the Abbey for 5pm.

Does anyone have any ideas about where we can go for Sunday? Early afternoon to early evening preferably...

Let's go to the moon. I like the moon, 'cos it is near to us...

06:05 / 22.02.08
Is that a real pub or something orbiting the Earth?

Tell me more about the Moon, dude. Where is it?

Just sent off an email to Treadwell's to reserve a seat for Gyrus' talk. Anyone else going? Not yet decided on the Sat. Are y'all still off to Kentish Park, then?

So, are people planning to party so hearty on Saturday that they're dead on Sunday?

16:43 / 26.02.08
It's definitely looking like plans are looser for Sunday. I'll be doing some drumming with Gypsy at some point, but besides that there's nothing concrete.

Saturday's the one to go for if you can make it.

Both Button and myself are not adverse to Sunday, I wouldn't think (although the former may need further confirmation).

Saturday's full on, though!
 
 
El Directo
18:04 / 27.02.08
Nice, bring on Saturday.

For Sunday there's vague talk of drumming in Victoria Park and going to the Big Chill on Brick Lane, so if you want to join us PM me your mobile number and I'll let you know our movements.

I hope to be there Friday at Treadwell's - other days are less likely.

Well it looks like work stuff means I'll be shiteing it from the festivities, sorry. I'll really need to get down soon, in the meantime, in way of apology, have this:




It's a little rough, but I've tried to catch your essential qualities. Hope you like!

That is awesome but the pants are a little bit conservative for Seth.

Was good.
Happy birthday Seth!

To come: incriminating photos.

Pictures of drunken stoats to come, then? Work ruined all for me - Friday's talk at Treadwell's AND the K-Town antics on Sat. Balls.
 
 
bill me later

what i caught of this bash was most excellent. i trust that after i'd gone Seth continued to be eased into his thirties with due care and respect.

The birthday pictures are up!



Much love to everyone who came. XX
