Valentines Weekend Thread

I have a surprise being planned for me Sunday :eek::lol:

Nothing planned as such, what with buying the flat we are pretty skint/all our money is going into that at the moment.

I did a Moonpig card though the other day, was fun 8)
 
Flying to New York early tomorrow morning for a week. 8)

It's bloody cold out there though. :confused:

By twist of fate, I'm there for the 'Unsound' festival and will be headed to Le Poisson Rouge for Andy Butler (Hercules & Love Affair fame).

I can't wait for this because the guy is a genius, ever since his Glasto Downlow set I've become hooked. He mixes in samples from an old reel-to-reel player and allsorts. 8)

Excited but loads to do before departure so it's all very last minute. :eek:
 
I hate Valentines Day. Stupid fake holiday invented by the greeting card, candy, flower and jewelry industries... and now perpetuated by restaurants and nightclubs. Ugh.

Friday - Arrive back in Moscow, work, then a big charity party that's doubling as an acquaintance's birthday. He claims it'll be really wild. :confused: hoping to make it to Krysha later for Russ Gabriel.

Saturday - Watch football on the new cable TV (instead of through the Internet as is often the case), attend a friend's going away party (moving back to the US). Later is a toss-up among Cocoon and parties with DJ Hell & co. and Todd Terrry & Choo Choo Romero.

Sunday - Sleep. Might get dragged to the home of a friend of the missus for Russia's version of pancake day.
 
Valentine's Day is a bit corny, but it's all harmless fun isn't it?

Plus I reckon if you woke up on valentines day and told your missus that you hadn't bothered doing anything special as a protest against commercialism, 99% of women (according to the latest poll :lol:) would think you were either mean and/or lazy.

That said me and my missus never go out for a meal on valentines, it's usuallly full of couples competing to see who's having the best time.:lol:

But i have got the missus the purse that matches the mulberry bag i bought her at xmas and will probably give her breakfast in bed.

Therefore fulfilling my husbandly duties, maintaining my dignity and putting a smile on the missus' face. 8)

exactly. My girl knows my feelings towards all these commercialised special days. That doesn't mean i get away with not making a point of doing something.

Saying that, I think the fact she's in frankfurt for cocoon and robert johnson club while i'm stuck at home myself will make up for me not planning anything this year.

I made it clear to the missus when we first started dating that there would be no Valentine's Day and since then she's had no complaints 8)

In fact, I'm still getting mileage from the one time I bought her a V-day present, about 10 years ago :lol: It was a painting by an artist we know. Still hanging in the living room, and she still tells people the story :lol:

Plus we just had the wedding anniversary 2 weeks ago and International Women's Day (very big holiday in the former USSR) on March 8. It's all a bit much!

You did really well to get a decade's worth of mileage out of one present. I am in awe.:lol:
