The Docfest schedule says the duration is 126 minutes:

http://sheffdocfest.com/schedules

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.

Half an hour is a bit short for a Q&A with band, director and Radcliffes tendency to waffle and trying to be funny.

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.

What is the schedule for the A-listers on here and can they fit in a meet-and-greet with the rest of us common people?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. 

Or we could make ourselves Bar Italia badges (from http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/BarItalia, modified with my genius graphic design skills?). 

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).

I'll have to check with my friend but I'm up for that.

Sounds good, does Nick's old pub The Washington still stand?

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...

 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.

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.

Is it far from the City Hall?

Haha, aren't you on the list with the collecting tickets from the hotel thing?

 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.

I hope, there will be some Pulp-merchandising. What do you think?

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!

So are we all heading to the washington then?

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'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.

 You'd have to get the 120 bus to Fulwood then walk down the hill.

What is 6'2 in meter?

 About 1.88

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 ...

So it looks like the party starts at 9, finishes at 2 and Jarvis is DJing! (This is all thanks to Weener's detective skills btw)

 So where is the party, Jarvgirl? Is it in Tudor Square by any chance?

Well done, Sherlock Weener, btw.

Oh I couldn't possibly say, Panther.  

I AM TOO EXCITED

I better not drink during the day...

Anyone going to the Leadmill? There's an obligatory Pulp special on.

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

Great night! Sounds as if I may have made it onto the DVD extras too if the Q and A is on there.

liltman wrote:

I get the feeling after that Q and A that they'll all end up on Jarvis's solo work. 

---

 So wouldn't that be Pulp?

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?

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 thought it was excellent. I wish we could have the full gig footage as well though.

I mainly learnt that Nick has amazing dance skills.

Nick's djing was excellent - first time I've heard jilted john on the dancefloor (though given that I am 19 that's not so surprising).

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.

Did this film remind anyone of "No Sleep..."

It did me a bit.
