what was that? any interest in going?

It was Structure, not sure if I’ve been before or just had it in my mind to go. I’ll see if any friends are going!

nice one, looks like that’s Easter weekend and I am unsure of my plans then (probs be in Hampshire)

but do keep an eye on the listings cos there’s plenty of interesting stuff going on including gigs on weekdays

(this applies to everyone of course!)

ICA now has self serving beer machines.

Yea, I’m not sure how I feel about that…

Since lockdown, I’ve noticed that more and more people are now forming queues at bars. Standing in a queue for a self service beer is the dystopian future I didn’t sign up for. Seriously, how depressing.

They never seem to be working when I’m in there.

Might be better than the ticketing system they run at the bar normally

Yeah I noticed that when I was there for Superchunk a couple of weeks ago. Only saw one person using them I think. Their bar system is incredibly annoying, but thankfully the only negative thing about the venue ( it’s not even a bar, more a cafe counter pretending to be a bar)

do they have aircon yet?

Think so - at least I was also at Superchunk (very fun gig; also noticed the dystopian self-service bar thankfully untroubled) - was a scorching day and it was fine in there - and it was a lot cooler in there than the Seefeel gig last year

…..I’d probably wait for @Waylonjenningslive to corroborate this! But think I would have remembered being uncomfortably hot (like I was during Bar Italia at Sala 2 in Barca during primavera recently) and I had a mental note pre-Ica that it could be a bit of an ordeal in there from memories of the venue. I also have a thing about not liking being hot during gigs (which is why my biggest headscratcher is people that don’t check in their coats for gigs - surprisingly common; each to their own I guess)

I’m terrible in the heat so maybe not best person to ask, but that gig felt like an absolute sweat box… that was a scorching day.

definitely no aircon in the main room, some aircon near the cloakroom maybe?

check some photos of Mac during the gig, he was soaked wet through! Looked like he was going to die!
