Dream on

So this Saturday will be the last ever Dominion.

For real.

and I am not a happy bunny at all.

I am going to miss my goddamn stupid asshole family so much because that's what ti is, all the people I love and cherish and love and hate and hhjsut plain hate but stillw nat to keep around. all my people.

so manny memories.

One more night to go.

One more night to remember.

So, copyying the contents of This FB event here:



So, it is once again my birthday in December! I am turning 26 and I want all of you to celebrate with me! And it just so happens, this is a weekend - for a given value of weekend anway - of lots of clubs and gigs and Other Shiny Things!

Thursday the 8th: Carousel at the Thomas House. 8 pm onwards, there shall be good music and I guess yours truly appears to be DJing. Oh dear. Did I mention the cheap booze? And general dark and awesome tunes, none of that damn newfangled bleepy music? :D https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carousel/238335666203923

Friday the 9th: Yet another reason for y'all to attend Caustic Disco at the Good Bits - oontz and cheese and eurotrash. 10 pm onwards so plenty of time to recover from the night before! https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=289900181037492

Saturday the 10th: MY ACTUAL BIRTHDAY! I will be DJing at Dominion - and really if you don't know where that is, why do I even know you? - and you should all be there. No promises on the quality or the genre of music, but it shall be awesome! There may also be pre-Dominion shenanigans, follow this space! https://www.facebook.com/dominion.club.dublin

Sunday the 11th: London, Front 242 & Nachtmar & Empirion & Global Citizen at KoKo! Great bands and great debauchery, and the fact that you're not in Dublin is no longer an excuse to not to show up to celebrate with me ;) https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193784173998667

Monday 12th: Chameleons Vox at Dingwalls, London! For the non-bleepy London crowd, you have again no excuse to not to show up ;) In case of shenanigans this may still turn into getting stupid drunk somewhere else, but hey, the important bit is that I'm in London :P https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=267292409983612

Tuesday 13th: I shall eventually arrive in Lancaster so anyone in the area who wants to mob me for a pint, should do so that day before I am kidnapped to Morecombe. that, or hit me up in the next 2 days or so :D

So, you have plenty of chances helping me celebrate this one! :D

If I forgot to invite you because FB is silly, click attending anyway because I love y'all. And of course, I will be around during the day time as well - if London or Norhtern or whateverous people want to grab lunch or dinner or a pint, I am sure we can figure something out! :D

So last night, Dominion.

- Music was awesome. I danced a lot, and endon_neu playd Theremin: Happy Ara! (also, poor Bunny. 3 years here, he hears that song ONCE, and then it get splayed the week after he leaves. Ooops)

- The Boi played Fairytale of th North. i missed most of it, boo, but id get to dance to the end parts of it. And this was made of win. Even if his commentatary regarding the rewuestage was.. somewhat off-color form what I was told XD

- There was lots of dancing. some rahter random people danced with me which was fun. It i fucking annoying though to try to dance to KLOQ when omeone is trying to b all over you... Oops. Also, found dancing with Big guy to be more amusing than it has any right to be.

All in all, uch fun as had. I had a fun chat with G and there was lots ofshenanigans. Afterwards I took off unsociaiably early but what can I say? I had a good reason *grin*

All in all, fun was had. however, my phone is gone. *woe* i lost it this morning omw to work. ARGH! Especially since it had the ulra-rare pic of me with Bunny. *poouts*

but yea. Domninion was fun.

So, next week at the same bat time on the same bat channel - in other words, saturday night in Dominion, I will be DJIng again.

I am oing to spend the next few days plotting your early demis... errr, what I will play. :D
