Help Wanted at The Dream Machine (Lounged)

[lynchhim]

yndi halda, who I manage are playing at The Barbican this weekend.

This means that unless I can get someone to cover for me at the shop then it's going to be closed for the whole weekend.

Anyone fancy helping me out ?

Can't pay you, but we'll work something out.

Maybe some free records or something.

Call me on 07528 554 673

Where and what is the dream machine?

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's the wee record shop underneath the Palmerston/Dulwich Cafe

I've PM'd John about my availability -

[CF]

i am very confused - you expect someone to work in your shop for nothing? and also you are trusting any old person to work in your shop? i would say that is a dangerous way to run a business!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ah but I love to see trust in action - warms the cockles of my heart it does...

[CF]

as my dear old mum says 'you cant trust no-one' and 'you get nothing for free in this life!'

[SeanMacGabhann]

(methinks this thread is soon to be deemed "not ED-specific" and cast into the lounge

Did your dear old mum ever live in ED and come to a forum drinks? I've had plenty of stuff for free!

As for the Dream Machine - I guess we'll find out after Saturday how this little experiment goes. I've contacted the owner about helping out so do come on down and say hello (and buy stuff!)

[RosieH]

lord love your dear old mum. but I bet she also remembers a time when your neighbours would do anything for you and you could leave your back door unlocked and come home to find that not only was your telly still there, but someone had left you a fresh baked pie on the kitchen table

I've offered my services for what they're worth. having packed in my job, I'm considering branching out...

[Mark]

This forum's free

[RosieH]

and come on, let's face it, who isn't thinking they could be as cool as John Cusack in High Fidelity?

[SeanMacGabhann]

:-$

The Dream Machine aint really like any other shop on The Lane, the owner John effectively told me that he doesnt care if the place makes a profit or not(as long s the rents paid for). Its more of a base for his forays into music/band management. Quite refreshing actually, like having a festival pitch on The lane. I'd quite happily donate a few hours of my time just to have a rifle through the records and bore people witless with muso chat.

[Jah Lush]

Tis true bon3yard, he said the same to me and any time I wanted to come in and just play records was fine with him. Nice fella.

[bon3yard]

Lets turn up on Saturday mob-handed and take the place by force if necessary.

[Sam]

F*ck yeah! Of course, we all should be wearing obscure band t-shirts...

[bon3yard]

I've got my 'Crispy Ambulance' t-shirt at the ready...

[RosieH]

Brilliant Corners too winsome?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Keep music evil

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Stiff Little Fingers?

[mlteenie]

Well I 'll go for my Tubes t-shirt.

[Administrator]

"The Lounged Sessions '08" t-shirt for this thread I think.

[Keef]

I'm not around this weekend, but would be up for lending a hand occasionally if required.

Do you have an XXL?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm doing a stint from 12 for a couple of hours - is anyone else pencilled in for a shift? Or even come along to check the place out ?
