I wondered whether anyone on here knows exactly the timings of the Q&A and after-show party on Saturday? I ask because it might be nice to find a time slot after the Q&A for any Bar Italia folk who feel like it to congregate and say hi to each other, perhaps at a local pub?
Several of us have a rough plan to have a beer or two, anyway, but have no idea where is good? Are there any Sheffield bods on here who could give us a suggestion? Ta.
The details for the film itself says 91 minutes, so I assume that maybe the film is 91 minutes and the whole event including the Q&A is 126. It also says 90 mins on IMDB.
I would like to meet people here from this forum. That's the main reason why I wanted to come, because it's such a big chance to see each other. But I have no idea where to meet and when. Before the movie? After the movie? Who will not be on this aftershow-party and have an interest for a drink in a pub?
Shall we wear roses in the button hole because when we all wear our Jarvisknickers, they re hard to see.
Any ideas?
Oh please!!!!!!!!!!!!
I rang to try and find out what time the event ends, bearing in mind there's supposedly some "surprises" and I've a train to catch. I was told to ring back at the end of the week.

So long as it's a white rose! My Yorkshire rose is in full flower at the moment, though whether the flowers would survive the trip from when I leave on Friday lunchtime is another matter.
I agree Maidmarian, I am looking forward to seeing people too, it depends a bit on everyone's schedules. I am intending to arrive some time Friday early evening, but am probably seeing family that evening, though I haven't confirmed a time with them yet, could be any time during the weekend. Do I remember right, you are coming in from Manchester? Cue "What's the only good thing to come out of Lancashire?" jokes (I believe Lancastrians have an entirely similar joke).

Well due to the ticket pickup time I'll be in town for a long time cos I won't have time to go back home again. Very happy to meet up. Quite a few ok pubs near City Hall but nothing too exciting.
Hello Fran, yeah, this Bar Italia Logo is a good idea, well done! But! How big? And where to wear? Otherwise, I really would like to see your Yorkshire roses
Well, my train gets into Sheffield at 1737 on Saturday, and I need to be back out on the 2023. Not averse to hanging out with people, but looks like time might be a bit tight. God knows how I'll get my tickets...

I think by anyone's standards that's 'cutting it a bit fine'!

Yes for goodness sake Maidmarian, try to avoid wearing red roses in Yorkshire! ;) regarding something we can recognise each other by, I'm assuming most of us have a Pulp badge of some sort? Think I've got 6.

That is definitely cutting it fine! You could always call the secret Soda employee when we get their details on Friday night and arrange for someone you know (and trust!) to pick yours up too?

Haha! Still the Rosewars??? Dear me! Did I tell you, that I parked on Richard III when I was in Leicester 1994? Can I come anyway?
I have no Pulp badge. There aren't any in Germany. As Maidmarian I thought about a bow and an arrow. But what will the people say, who sit behind me?
I've checked the Washington in Sheffield. It has a facebookpage and there will be an "Elegant wasted-night" on Saturday at 10.pm. Jarvis is on the poster, so it looks like a great place to meet.

I don't have any badges. I could wear my Sheffield Sex City t-shirt. I think that may well be the only music merch I have ever bought.

Here's the rose.
Surely maidmarian is more Richard I? I can't believe they're even thinking about not re-burying Richard III in York Minster.

Let's not get into a political discussion here but I have no burning fire to see the remains of Richard III buried in York. A) he was born near Northampton (much closer to Leicester) and B) Surely he would be pretty horrified to be buried anywhere that is Protestant anyway!
Are we talking before the screening here? I will be in Town from about 15:00 hours 'cos I have to collect my ticket. It would be easy to meet in Barkers Pool, outside the City Hall by the War Memorial then walk down Division Street to the Washington or stay around Barkers Pool. Walking to the Washington we would pass the spot where Jarvis fell out of the window that fateful night.
Depending on the weather (we're coming in on the train) we should be in Sheff about the same time as you SAW, i think the nearer the better if the weather is going to be awful.
I'm planning on picking my ticket up early, they're on offer from 15:30, and I won't have time to go back home so I'll deffo be in town for the duration.
maidarian if you want to meet at Barkers Pool at 15:00 (there's a big war memorial in the centre that simply can't be missed) that's fine by me or you can wait until I've picked up my ticket. My name's Stephen by the way, makes it a bit easier
Hello Stephen, so I will wait there at the (rose?)war Memorial and ask every guy if his name is Stephen. That will be a good fun. By the way, my name is Marion and I'm blond.
I'll be spending the night in Sheffield so will probably hit The Washington at some point in the evening.
And probably do a Pulp-walk on Sunday afternoon because I've never done that before.
What sort of sights were you think of taking in? I'd like to see the childs toy horse ride that played such a ridiculously tragic tune but it looks like quite a trek to Forge Dam from the centre.

It's a WWI memorial and I don't think you'll miss me, I'm 6' 2" and have ginger hair!

You'd have to get the 120 bus to Fulwood then walk down the hill.
So, enough of these details. I just wanted to say, that The Log In doesn't work on my smartphone. So I can't post anything or read private messages from tomorrow afternoon. I hope, the appointments will all work (very old fashion - appointments), otherwise leave me a private message or ...
Pulp ‏@pulp2011 21h
We have the will, but they apparently don't have the technology. Sorry to disappoint but twitter questions plan is not happening. Live on. x
I get the feeling after that Q and A that they'll all end up on Jarvis's solo work. They'd obviously probably even be doing more gigs if it wasn't for Candida's understandable reticence.
It was very surreal when I arrived at the cinema and the women's choir was singing. I thought I was in the wrong screen. I wish I'd known the film itself started at 6pm, could have had a beer in the pub outside.
As for the film, I liked the concert footage, the bits with the band and tour manager and even the Help The Aged rendition in the cafe. But the rest just left me cold. I guess I wasn't expecting a Sheffield homage.
I had to leave before the q&a - was there anything of note?
It wouldn't necessarily be Pulp. It depends if they were to have an input in the writing. Weren't most of them on his first solo album in some form or other?

As I remarked after the film had finished 'Only Pulp could be have a film made about them where by the end you know absolutely nothing about the band that you didn't know before'.

Exactly what I was thinking. I know this would probably never happen, but it would be nice if the Pulp members started writing together again, without the pressure of it being a new Pulp record, or even having to tour it. To do a new album under another name would be nice.
I enjoyed the film, Jarvis is a naturally amusing character which we all know all to well..How many artists could make something as mundane as changing a tyre or feeding the ducks tragically funny? Anyways, not entirely sure if there was any point in including Pulp as a musical entity as part of this Sheffield homage. Not sure if i want to watch it again either..
Oh I wish I could have made it to the after party! I had to be elsewhere as soon as the film finished (caught maybe 10 mins of the Q&A). I gave my wristband to John Quinn, ex Sheffield Star music writer, so that was my good deed for the night.
Thought the film was fairly entertaining, quite idiosyncratic but an elegant solution to the band not wanting to so a 'normal' concert/documentary film. Really interesting (and sad) to hear about Candida 's struggles with arthritis. In fact all of the band had their moment to shine - Nick's bit about the football team was great (as was his bit in the Q&A about the rear view of Jarvis). And Mark too - "Is Jarvis a common person? I think he has the... potential to be".
Wasn't keen on the choir in afraid, and some of the other vox pop stuff was maybe a bit overdone - a bit of more ruthless editing would have tightened it up in places in my opinion. Loved Help the Aged in the cafe though!
Nice to briefly meet Pip beforehand. Oh and Magnus Doyle was sat a couple of rows behind me.

I reckon there was plenty of other material that could have been used. There wasn't too much with Mark nor Steve, and it wasn't as if Candida nor Nick were overexposed. I thought the issue of their relationship with Sheffield was the story, especially making up for The Day That Never Happened and it would have been better explored from their perspective.
But Help The Aged in the cafe was a highlight! Loved the way it was played out. The bloke in the corner looked like he was in fear from the old girls fancying a bit of older rough.

I think that's a very interesting observation Sarah. The only main difference is in the director. Florian clearly ascribes to auteur theory so it had a strong directorial voice unlike No Sleep.
