Frost* Christmas 2011 AGM - The Peel, Kingston. 16th Dec

[JimD]

I don't post much here but me and my mate Laurence are coming tonight and I am ssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!  Plus I am eating some Nice biscuits right now, which seems entirely appropriate for this forum.

It's been gigtastic of late - saw Green Gartside of Scritti Politti last week (couple of videos here if you like them - http://www.youtube.com/jsnowdendavies) and Motley Crue/Def Leppard on Wednesday at Wembley (videos won't upload yet).  

Both were ace, but tonight is the one that is really gonna be KOOL! Just got to decide which teeshirt to wear yet - TPE or the white one with the black sleeves...

Ok, I am *finally* getting excited and finding it a little hard to do any work this afternoon...  

[Mikey]

Knock, Knock

Who's there?

Racing

Racing who?

Racing Hippo....we're off

about 3 hours til I go home, pack, and give you all my lurgee - but before anyone blames me when they catch the prog flu, blame Bert first

Ok, I am *finally* getting excited and finding it a little hard to do any work this afternoon...  

Work??  WORK???  Are we supposed to be doing work?  I assumed this building I was in today was just somewhere to keep my laptop until Monday?

My teacher wife just got in touch and told me one of her tutor group hyperventilated earlier in class?  Coincidence??  I think not!

[LivingForever]

Time to get changed and then start walking Peel-wards I think!

See some of you in a bit...  

[Mooncat]

To  all my fellow Frosties,
have a wonderful time tonight - gutted I can't be there, but hopefully there will be a 'next time' and I will be there in abundance (and how does a bun dance?)

   :mrgreen:

[Batchain]

May your set-list be long and your popadoms crispy.  Have a great night all!

Great great night. Perfect set. Bloody hot but brilliant.
Still driving home so just a quick note: High points for me - Saline, BLM (as always), TDL was everything live it had the potential to be last year, unexpected encore segue into Milliontown.

Nice to see a few faces too - shame it was too rammed to chat too much.

As Jem said at the end: they'll be back next year...can't wait!!

[Ash]

I left a bit later than I probably should have and then had a nightmare on the sth circular.  I didn't get there til they were finishing Don't you want me  :cry:  but on the plus side I didn't miss Losers Day Parade.  

Saline!!!  As DS said - I have now finally seen it live!  It didn't register until DS said that.  

Then a bit of hanging around before the rather splendid curry.  Great night that thankfully was not spoilt by snow.  Can we change our year end to summer?

[JakeWorrell]

I'm deaf in my left ear and knackered from >6 hours driving in the last 24 hours.

Its a good job Frost* are worth it!

Excellent night!

[L33VEY]

Especially for who couldn't make it, and those at the back, and those directly behind me and Pedro..

.. welcome to my new YouTube channel, with a few snippets from last night

[JimD]

I *was* directly behind Pedro for most of the gig, but he very, very, very, very, very, VERY kindly agreed to swap spaces with me for TDL and the encores!  

Will check your videos soon L33VEY - I too have some YouTubery and will be sharing it soon (if the new YT agrees to upload anything I give it these days...).

ACE to finally see the band live - a really fun night!

[E.S.]

Back home, after a day of travel.

What an absolutely lovely and brilliant evening that was! I'm still smiling here.
You're a wonderful bunch of Frost*ies everyone, so nice to finally meet the people behind the nicknames, avatars and witty comments about biscuity things.

And a BIG thank you for the surprise t-shirt, that's so kind of you. I'm utterly moved by such a gesture.

Then there's the curry... Really sorry, I was just taking a photo with Jem and Mitchell, and was one minute behind, but somehow I got totally lost and ended up walking for ages and ages. I'm not good at directions, and just walked the same way someone else did... Obviously the wrong people. Came back to the Travelodge from a totally different direction.

It won't be the last time, I'll fly over again. It was SO worth it.


Even though I only saw a little of the top of their heads... Must wear high heels.
