 Have only written a few times on the list as I just like to keep in touch 
to see if anything is happening with the band.  Gigs, records etc...  So 
Lisa keep up the good work.

  Eh?

  Okay, it's time this was said... coz frankly, I've had enough!

  I report back to you lot everything I hear about what's going on with 
Gerard/the band/albums/gigs etc. because I assume people would like to 
know. I've been posting here for a number of years and when I first 
joined, kept stuff to myself purely because I didn't want to be seen as 
some pretentious little twat, loud-mouthing and lording it about, saying 
that I'm a good friend of Gerard Langley and in some twisted way, coming 
across as 'showing off' or something. Bristol is a small place, I am sure 
I am not the only one here who talks to the man! I do however seem to be 
the only person here doing my best to keep people up to date by either 
clarifying or dispelling rumours for you all. Rumours that, in fact, grow 
and spiral the longer they get talked about here. Maybe you all like 
playing the guessing game, if so, let me know and I'll crawl back into my 
hole. I actually do pass on stuff that I read here and try my best to get 
answers for you because Gerard doesn't ever read this and to be honest, 
I'm not entirely sure he'd reply even if he did!

  If, by any chance or for any reason whatsoever people would like me to 
just keep any news that I have to myself, then really, just let me know! I 
have a million things I could be doing rather than grilling my mate about 
stuff to do with 'work' when actually, all either of us wanna do is have a 
pint and watch the girls go by! I'm happy to carry on reporting back too, 
but you know what - I would rather not bother if there are gonna be 
certain people who are constantly questioning what I'm telling you... 
which is only, after all, what I get told, otherwise how the hell would I 
know and why would I care! I don't make it up! 

  Bruce, I have no idea what you really meant by the "I dont care. We 
don't care" line - perhaps it's a line from a BA's song that I haven't 
heard because *shock! Horror!* I prefer the popular stuff (Ooooh, shame on 
me!). If it is, then I still make no apologies because the choice of words 
was, frankly, in my opinion, a virtual V-sign directly related to my last 
post. 

  PV1 - I have no idea either what you meant by "I'm not sure how 
disengenious he was being"... But to that I'll say this: The Blue 
Aeroplanes have, in one guise or another played at the Fiddlers in 
December for years and years. So yes, actually it is ENTIRELY possible 
that the booking is ongoing and that Gerard didn't know the exact date 
until last week. The EMI deal isn't finalised, as I said, so I can't tell 
you anything more about that and yes, when you've been offered a big deal 
from a major record company, I expect it IS difficult to ignore... The 
BA's are a long way from getting up on stage with Michael Stipe or driving 
around LA in the back of a limo with the Pixies!

  Right. I feel better now. Slightly less insulted and ready for my Sunday 
breakfast (yes, I was lying in bed thinking about this!). No doubt I've 
pissed someone off, but I'm sick of sitting here in the comfort of my own 
home, feeling patronised and accused.

  Finally, there are plans for a website. I, hopefully will be writing for 
it. Something I'm very nervous, yet very excited about doing because, like 
all of us here, I love the Blue Aeroplanes. How popular it'll be(??!) 
depends on us, which is why I thought it was a good idea to ask for 
suggestions. Again, if this came across as anything other than a tit-bit 
of exciting good news, then let me know and I'll just get on with it 
quietly and in my own time.

  Thanks for listening.

  Me and the missus have a hotel booked, and will be in Bristol that night.
  If the Aeros's play, too - perfect.

  Pick a card, any card.............

    People, people, people, calm y'selves!

    Spoke to Gerard (he only found out he was playing on 2nd December last 

    week! I was like, "Yeah? And?") who has assured me that it will be 
    dealt with. Probably gonna be the usual for tickets (£10ish?) and as 
    for the bouncers... Last time I went it was an old bird taking the 
    money and a rather bedraggled beardy bloke on the door! (The owners I 

    think!)

    I don't mean to be a teasing little tart, but there's also some 
    possible news about a record deal with EMI which I'm under strict 
    instruction not to mentio... Oh.

    Will update you all as and when I know anything. In the meantime, a 
    question!

    Q: IF there was a website again, what kinda stuff would you like on it?

    All the usual discographies and shit, but what about Forums? A Chat 

    room? That kind of thing... All and any suggestions would be most 
    gratefully received and hopefully accomodated. I like the idea of it 
    being very interactive with 'us' being able to suggest and improve as 
    it grows - anyone know how that could become a reality? (I'm a good 
    writer, but the actual fundementals of webness alludes me!) So, what 
    would you like to see?

    Back soon!

      Idiot seems a bit strong!

      I'm left with vague misgivings about the absence of ticket prices

        Ok,

        I'm an idiot :-)

        I was looking at this:

        http://www.ents24.com/web/venue/1203/Bristol/Fiddlers_Club.html

        Not the actual Fiddlers Club website.

        Thanks for the info - hopefully I'll make it on Dec 2nd!

        Davros.
