Sounds neat. Wish I could go, somehow.
ReplyDeleteI'm still pondering going to one of them after show thingie... Anyone think I should/shouldn't? I'm afraid to feel like I don't quite belong there :oS (Must be aging or something...)
ReplyDeleteDoes the band actually show up to these afterparties? Or is it just a place where fans congregate and party on after the show is over? I've always wondered...:D
ReplyDeleteV - Most of the time, it's just fans. The band has their own afterparties. Sometimes at the venue (most of Curiosa), sometimes at the hotel (most of Dream tour).
ReplyDeleteBut some Cures have shown up at "unofficial" parties. Very rare though.
Craig: Thanks for the explanation! :)
ReplyDeletechrist...london after midnight? jesus. i feel like i'm 15 and reading propaganda all over again.
ReplyDeletefantac, i probably won't go. i have a hot date with mah boyfriend ;)
ReplyDeletebut you should say hi at the show! i'm the short chubby girl with the tall thin boyfriend. i'll be wearing boxing gloves ;)
The only way I could go if someone paid for the ticket, my transportation, and my accomodations. In other words, pretty close to everything. I've already put myself on a tight financial leash due to the Cleveland show and a couple of other things that I'm doing this month.
ReplyDeleteSofia! No f-ing way! I'm TERRIFIED over here! T-E-R-R-I-F-I-E-D!!!
ReplyDelete:oP
fantac- go go go! (imagine Push riff here) I mean, a club full of rabid Cure fans? It sounds like it will be a lot of fun, I really wish I could go.
ReplyDeleteWish someone had put on a bloody after show Cure night in London! :( But then most people at the show in London were gross and had no right being at a Cure show, quite bizarre infact
ReplyDeleteI'm confused, I thought the NEW address for this event was the 199 Bowery address? Maybe I'm just a tard! Probably. :)~
ReplyDeleteAngel here, the party organizer, checking in to answer some questions.
ReplyDeleteFirst, v, the band is absolutely NOT expected to show up at the party. No one would be more shocked than me if they did!
Second, fantac, Contempt parties are known for hosting a more "mature" (ahem) crowd, and there's NEVER a dress code, so no one should feel too old or "not goth enough" to show up. We work hard to create a very laid back, all-are-welcome, check-your-attitude-at-the-door atmosphere.
Finally, mock_goth_girl, the correct address is M1-5 52 Walker Street. We moved back to our former venue cuz the one on Bowery was gonna be too small.
If any of you from this list do decide to come by, ask after me at the door. I'd love to meet some other COF frequenters. I've been reading the news and writing reviews here for many years.
