Does anyone want a badge, perchance?

I used to be a punk, see. My first experience of a gay bar was when I went to a punk gig upstairs in Voltz in Southampton (under new management now, it's not what it was, too many people getting beat up, I guess. Southampton is cheap rate London, but less openminded). The windows were broken and the speakers were for shit, people playing angry punk music with the traces of '80s anthems in the background. I met a man named Saul and stroked his head - he drank cider and black (Winona Ryder in the sack) and played drums for a Dead Kennedys tribute band.

Most of the night, though, was downstairs in the gay bar, drinking tequila slammers and cocktails, staggering down to the cash point to get more money, hugging exceedingly friendly men who danced on a cleared space maybe five feet square. The longest period I spent upstairs was at the very beginning, when I spent a while selecting which badges I'd buy from a noticeboard of punk sentiments and bands I'd never heard of. And then I went downstairs and sang 'I will surivive' at the top of my voice.

I was never much of a punk.

If you want a badge, then, leave your address. I have twenty two random ones going spare - a few I'm keeping, that people have given me and such. Basically, I will pick a badge from the bag at random for you, so you're not to be offended by the choice. Some are pictures, some are small local bands, some are bigger bands, some are random faintly punk sentiments. And an action man one, too. So the badge you get is no reflection on you, it's just the luck of the draw.

Er... Was that vaguely my fault, perchance? ;-p

You were most CERTAINLY a contributing factor. You me and Helen, wasn't it? While little Helen and Naomi spent most of the night upstairs.

... *random driveby serious love for the Dead Kennedys*

A Nnybutton would be way cool.

*giggles right back atcha*

Yep, that's right. I seem to remember Little Helen not being too impressed by our rate of cocktail consumption, lots of inadvisable singing and dancing, and running out of money. Hence the staggerage and the cashpointage, which I'm sure didn't work for a while (nothing to do with the cocktails, that one...)

Hmmm, and five English pounds to go upstairs and ultimately only buy badges, only to run away to the gay bar downstairs right away.

hee.

...and all on a college night. YES because I definitely remember the dying in the common room the next day.

OMG I love badges. *looks hopeful*

For some reason, I can't get the poll to work. I can only see the 'View Results' bit instead of the box to type your answer in, no matter how much I click around on links and so on. *twitch*

But anyway- yay, badges. If I can ever put my address in. :)

[villainny.livejournal.com]

If you want you can email it to me, m'dear - remind me it's about badges in the subject line or whatever.

Cool, I will do in just a minute. Thanks!

I wish I could work out why my computer suddenly doesn't like polls, though. If it starts doing this for all of them I may scream.

[kenovay.livejournal.com]

If you're tempted to stalk me, I will remind you that I know where you live.

[autosolarium.livejournal.com]

um... are you willing to send badges to the US? Cause I'd really like one, but if its too much trouble, go on and ignore my address.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Half of 'em are going to the US, you'll get one. ;)

[corporal-katz.livejournal.com]

Erm... *dithers* Would you be willing to send one to Australia? *hides*

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Yup

:-D

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

i dropped in my address for a badge, if there's still some up for the taking. If not, no worries.

*hugs you*

Your Remus in a muggle gay bar drabble is still taped to my wall, if that gives you a smile.

[corporal-katz.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I've filled out my name and address if you have any badges left; no big deal if you don't. :) Thanks!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I ran out of badges, say sorry, but am sending you a dogtag instead. No chain, unfortunately, 'cos I need them, but it's the thought that counts, right? ¬_¬

[corporal-katz.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's okay! I had a feeling I was kinda late in the game. But cool, a dogtag! I already have a chain for my M*A*S*H dogtags (yeah, I was/still am a big M*A*S*H nerd. Heh.) so I'm all set. Thanks muchly! *grin*

[autosolarium.livejournal.com]

Great! Thanks!

[bloodrebel333.livejournal.com]

Are there still badges left?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

*grins*

There weren't, but then I tidied my room and found another one.

If you want it, send address to annysthetized(at)gmail.com

[bloodrebel333.livejournal.com]

Ah, thanks. Will e-mail in a moment. :)

[bloodrebel333.livejournal.com]

One more thing -- any particular thing you'd like to receive as a thank-you from very awesome, very Europe Netherlands? :)

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Good lord, that's very kind. Um, a cool postcard would be ace, because I have a collection of 'em all over my walls. Something weird or pretty.

Thankee!

[bloodrebel333.livejournal.com]

Weird or pretty; will do.
