Exeter Area Meet Up

[diedandgonetodevon]

Are there any mums near Exeter who would like to meet up for a natter and a cuppa?

You can have my DS- not quite newborn but he does like to smile at all the ladies

so its between the phoenix and BTP?

My DS likes meeting new people, he's only 6 months and just had half of Spain giving him a cuddle last week, I think it's his blue eyes!

Look that way. Personally I'm happy with either

yes the phoenix is good with buggies

Yes I mean the Phoenix! I recall seeing a few bands there, and a very drunk new year at one of their parties...oh those where the days... I suppose drinking several pints before heading up gandy street trying on expensive dresses would be inappropriate now with mumsnetters present to dissaprove DD in tow!

I went to see A REAL BAND at the Phoenix just recently, I felt all young and trendy and studenty, it started at 11pm.

but I was really pleased to come home to bed.

i'm probably not a proper mumsnetter then, because i wouldnt dissaprove of that, although expensive dress shops scare the life out of me lol

where exactly is the phoenix anyway?

fennel, 11 o'clock? Who did you see? I'm ashamed to say that during my yrs in exeter I've never been to the phoenix for any concert, but just for nct meet ups

off gandy st

Phoenix - cool, I shall link arms with you then, we can pretend we are drinking lemonade and coke (I used to do this when I was a child, to look like I had a beer!).

Then we will go try on an Gucci dress...ok? .

What band did you see Fennel? Last band I saw there was Eat Static, twas a long while ago now.

sounds like a plan pavlov

Hang on there Pavlov, has exeter changed so much? Gucci dresses? Where?

It was a quite obscure band called Zion train, popular among odd student types in the 90's. My sister's choice for her birthday. the blurb calls it "top-notch reggae-fusion ? soaring vocals, conscious lyrics, high-energy dance beats in a live dub-mix second-to-none."

I had to look it up as I can never describe bands myself.

Ah, do you mean in Willys?? It has shut. Had I known it was on its way out, I would have queued to buy the 'Mens Willys Downstairs' sign

There was once a shop, must have gone now I presume, about half way down gandy street, they also had another shop near Central Station, that went though (was the cheaper shop I think. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, it did Gucci, Armani dresses, sunglasses, shoes. and other big names. I recall having a ball trying on dresses there after my friend and I met for a liquid lunch at the Phoenix!

Oh god what was it called?

Littlelamb - oh that would be have been one to queue for!!! I am sure thats the one. Was the other one called Willy's Too?

LOL!

Fennel at the description of the band

is anyone up for meeting on a weekend?
or is there a time during the week we're all free?

I have heard of Zion Train! Not seen them live though!

Dragon - I can do weekends. I see enough of DH to be apart from him for a couple of hours at the weekend!!!

i might possibly be able to manage a sunday, i'd have to move things about at work but i might be able to, otherwise im free all tuesday

i nominate pavlov to get pen and paper out and figure out if there's a time when we are all free.

lol
