    Which one is this?
    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

    'Lightning never strikes twice they say but after these two shows they might have to revise that!

    What a joyous few days that's been both gig wise and all the wonderful fun we've had around them.

    Will catch up with things once home later today but just wanted to drop this here until then.

    That all sound wonderful, so looking forward to maybe seeing it all surface one day. :)

    Glad you all had a fantastic time last night, I'm still gutted that my tickets proved to be touted and recalled  ~X(
    Does anyone know if it was filmed, and if so how will it be released to us? Can any kind person advise me (now or nearer the time) about gathering with other Frappers from this site before the Apollo show? I haven't done this before (Im forcing myself to overcome my phobia of crowds by coming to a show at all, but hey...its Goldfrapp! I will regret it forever if I don't make at least one show! Thanks xx

    PPS .....Being the mystic-minded New Age hippy type that I am, a butterfly is traditionally said to be lucky. I sent Alison a card not so long ago with a butterfly on it. I doubt if she ever received it...but maybe. It certainly is a sign (to those who believe) xx

    The show was filmed, but we don't know any details about a release (yet)

    Good idea to meet up with some Frappers pre-gig, you're going to feel right at home.
    I know I did... :)

    She did mention about it being a sign of good luck when she saw it!

    So glad the 2nd night was another blast! A shame we never got a stage-invading butterfly on the 1st night!

    Who (from here) went 2nd night only?... just Helen, BigBird and Border_mind?

    Were the posters on sale the same as the ones avail on the 1st night?

    Sorry we non-attendees keep banging on about it, but... were there hand-held cameras... upstairs only? Any mention of filming from Alison?

    They were filming upstairs & down, before the gig as folks were piling in and even filmed the queue outside by all accounts! Posters the same and it was the same run of 200 being sold over the two nights.
