So who is going? and since this is my first Release Party, what can we expect? A full concert of the entire album? Perhaps some encore and a bonus for us crazy fans? Who will be on stage with John? ( secretly wishing I will miraculously turn 18 again and Tom will be playing drums... lol) What will be the setlist? Questions, answers and guesses are welcome  |

You can count on me being there  It would be soooooo nice a concert with ALL album songs ;D ;D ;D ;D And I must say if John plays any Budapest song (Clock Face above all), I'll be the happiest person in the universe. I hope Tom will be on drums again as well. (Why turning 18 again? LOL) |

( secretly wishing I will miraculously turn 18 again and Tom will be playing drums... lol) What will be the setlist? Questions, answers and guesses are welcome I don't really know what to expect, I've learned that it's best not to expect anything in particular and just see what happens. I'm fairly certain, though, that it won't be a 'full concert of the entire album'. On the Facebook page it says: Runtime of the whole album is about 50 min I believe, so can't be all songs unless it was a medley of the tunes (which would sound a bit strange I'm afraid and would be a shame actually). To be honest, I'm hoping for 5 or 6 songs; the larger part of the set from the new album would make sense to me since it's the CD release party. Full band would be great, too. Let's wait and see. Only thing I'm not guessing at, because I know for sure: This will be the longest way I've ever come to buy a record, measured in both time and distance. *where's the 'insane' emoticon when you need it..* Still 40 days to go - Bring it on!!! |

I'm so sad, it looks as though I'm not going to be able to make it! Though I'm sure there will be more gigs to be announced once Departures is released. Until then, you girlies will have to do video duty for me now! If any of you are going to be in England the following day, one of my favorite bands, Two Spot Gobi, is playing in Brighton. That should be a great gig too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX3X5fLKPUAwww.youtube.com/watch?v=DyswHf21ROMwww.youtube.com/watch?v=smMpjnIclNYY'all should go if you get the chance! Sorry, John, for getting sidetracked as usual.... Back to Nov. 9! You girlies have fun! I can't wait to finally get my hands on a copy of Departures. It will be here soon! |

It will be here soon! Aww, Missy, this is really sad news. I so had hoped to meet you in London. If only I could send you a good fairy or genie empowered with unlimited wish fulfillment capabilities. Unfortunately, I can't, so only thing I can do is thinking of you at the show in London, having a J.D./coke and wearing my over-the-knee boots, both in your honour. I too hope there's more gigs to come after Departures has been released, maybe even a tour in 2010. Fingers crossed!! Just checked out the links, Two Spot Gobi are sounding great. Too bad I have to leave London the day after John's release party. BTW, today I got a reminder from the Monto Water Rats (as if I needed one ). Apart from John, there are 3 other acts listed for the evening in question: Really looking forward to the show and to meeting you all. It's coming closer, woo hoo, only 12 days left! @ Lucy and Kitine, did you book a room by now and will you be staying somewhere near Kings Cross? @ Napsi, I'll send you my new phone number ASAP. |

Apart from John, there are 3 other acts listed for the evening in question: Hey Jadie, You have no idea how sad I am and how much I wanted to meet you and the other Garrison Gals! The thought of you drinking Jack and Coke and wearing over-the-knee-boots in my honor makes me smile and feel as if I were going to be there in spirit! Be sure to turn your cell phone off and don't forget that you still have a tab and a drink in your hand when you leave! LOL! This reminds me that I forgot to mention about the Rockwood night. When I introduced myself as "Miss Alabama," John said "Hallooo, Miss Alabamuh." Ahhh! It was too cute! To hear the word Alabama in an English accent really made me smile! I'm certain I had the goofiest grin on my face. SOOO MUCH FUN it was! I know you gals are gonna have fun on Nov. 9 and I can't wait to hear your stories, reviews and see your videos and pictures, Jade and all you other girlies! But don't have too much fun without me! P.S, Glad you like the TSG vids, Jade! I love them! They are so funky and Groovy! |
