Same crew again? Driver H., you, me? Let's see if I can get a guestlist+1 again.

L'histoire se repete.:D

if anyone has a spare ticket, I would love to go ...
Found out too late about this show, which is quite stupid because I'm subscribed to the AB newsletter.

hehe sure, only this time H = B. Which means a car needs to be fixed. but we will look for that later.

Excellent news. Emailing Lee now....

anyone got the tickets in mailbox yet? just wondering. i didn't, but it's probably still bit early, isn't it?

well, actually, we got them quite early... but i'll check...

got them real fast: like two weeks after ordering.

Yeah, me too. Ten days after ordering them, tickets were in the mail

fuck. maybe, because I'[m in Dublin. I was trying to ring them today, but no one bleeding answering, I've sent email and no reply either....

If all else fails you can "hitch a ride" on my guestlist+1, but this depends on if EvdWee is bringing another friend or not.

wow. that's cool. appreciate it Martin. I will try to contact them. I mean, I pay for a ticket and have my confirmation numb.

i will wait till you got conformation

so I got through. a man who answered said, Irish post has returned ticket, because of insuifficent address details (well, that's a mystery) and that they sent me an email saying what happened, which I never got (mystery again). anyway, my ticket will be in box office before the show, so I can get it there. cool. sorted. all I need to do now is to find some nice hotel or hostel in the area. any suggestions? never been in Brussels....so see you there (or maybe not, you's all seems to have vip thingy hahahaha)!

- Good news!

- Ten years ago I stayed at a very nice hostel in a street opposite Le Botanique. Not sure if it's still there, though - also, no clue on distance from the AB. Anyway, this is a good starting point: http://www.hostels.com/findabed.php?ChosenCity=Brussels&ChosenCountry=Bel gium&Search=1

cheers for the link! i will check it out.

wow. I just got an offer to sleep in one of the members of this board apartment! i must say boardies here are very kind people!

I got my ticket!
party hard

Finally, it's been 3 years since I had the chance to film SY again.
It's gonna be a great gig!!!

Jef, do you know any good pubs near the AB? Pre-show meeting anyone?

I'm up for it! (pre-show meeting). Jeff do you need shots from different angle? I'm thinking to bring camera (not really pro stuff, but still...) anyway, pint before the show would be nice.

On second thought: if I recall correctly (Jef, can you confirm?) AB has a decent restaurant/bar so that might be the easiest option. When does the show start? Is there an opening band?

AB does indeed have a nice bar. I just don't know when it opens. I am going to try to shoot the soundcheck as well, so i'll be in Brussels pretty early on. I'm thinking of making a live video for one of the new songs.

Richard, any adittional footage would be welcome.

I'm excited even if I won't be there!

YES!!! Paul Labrecque / Head Of Wantastiquet is opening act.

Because you know there'll be a recording, you bearded Italian cazzo! :D

Excellent! Are times (doors / opening act / main act) already known?

Don't think so.

Hey Martin, are you doing soundrecordings? I'm hoping to videotape stageside and would be cool not having to worry about the sound that much.

Yes, bringing my Edirol R-09, and will record in glorious 24/48 wav. If you think you can schmooze your way into a soundboard patch, I'll arrange for XLR cables as well.

Will you record this too Jef/Martin ?

AAAAAAAAAAAGh!
mind your language, there are babies around (t)here!:eek::fuckyou:

Depends on arrival time - how's that for an obvious reply? :D

Yes, I'm recording the Head Of Wantastiquet set as well.
Also because I have a future film project with Paul.

I'm not posting this at home, so my daughter can't see it. :D

Dude, where's my razor?

Cool, i look forward to see this sometime. :)

A soundboard recording from Sonic Youth in the AB???
What can we want more? ;)

Don't get your hopes up, they stopped giving soundboard access in 2006 or 2007 - but one can always dream.

I know, rappard, but indeed, dreaming doesn't hurt.
Maybe someone can convince the band and the AB crew to put the gig up in their on-demand ABTV series, as they recently did with Moby.

roll on Thursday! so uhmm, couple of pints b4 da gig? anyone? i should be there early enough, coz need to collect my tick...


*edit*
anyone is able to upload poster to that gig here from last.fm? it wont allow me to dl. it as I'm not registered there. i'm trying to save a picture, but all i get is incomplete poster.
