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!

Me too. Maybe we should all write to the Mayor of Bristol, you know,
explain our vexation ?

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.
