bottle rocket june round up

tis the morning after the done-ing and dusted-ing of bottle rocket's 12th (!) full club night! which makes next month an extra-special anniversary month, which we shall celebrate in the appropriate style: bottle rocket will forget until the last minute, causing a massive argument only rectified through lashings of make-up sex.

er, i mean we'll have a bacchanalian party the likes of which the world has never before witnessed! we'll great-gatsby glasgow to pieces!

well, we'll have a party at any rate.

but since this is all still 39, 495 minutes away (and that's a fact cos i mathed it), let's discuss last night's bottle rocket!

ta to all that popped along and danced with us. it was a learning experience. we learned that:

a) linday lohan is, in fact, a recording artist as well as an actress/party-girl, and her recordings are deemed requestable.

b) people really like the safety dance. apologies to mike for dissauding him from playing it so many times before...

c) st elmos fire is fucking rad.

d) we need to get a single-edit of common people. cos my legs aint feeling too good after six minutes of frenetic dancing/hopping around.

and e) attempts to put kenickie in a cd player will always result in punka being played, even if the user intended to play pvc. it's just too bloody tempting.
