Hello to everybody! It has been quite hard to go back to the routine after the grate weekend I have spent in London. It was full of hard emotions and unforgettable moments. I still can't believe it! Every time there is something that reminds me to it and makes me smile :) I went to London for the Gentle Waves concerts. First, I meet lovely Charles, who is more crazy than me, just going to the UK from Argentina to see Isobel. He is really nice and he was like my "daddy" at any time, taking care of me. It was absolutely lovely to spend those days with him. On Thursday night we went to see Snow Patrol live and although I haven't listened much of them, I liked the show. The singer was shaking his head like a fool! The next day Neil told us that Richard was playing drums with them and we didn't realize! Does anyone of the list went too? Do you know the name of the band who was playing before them? We were wondering about it but nobody knows. On Friday we went to the first Gents (as Mr. Miller calls them) show. We get to know Neil, who is very nice and gave us some budgets and stickers. I was surprised because I thought he was older! But he is only a young boy. First The Bills Wells Trio were playing and it was amazing to know that other aspect of Steve Jackson. The Gents were great, I loved how they ended it with that brilliant cover of "the beat goes on" but I missed many songs from the album as "sister woman". After the concert we had the chance to meet Steve and I couldn't avoid asking him for an authograph (fanatic girl...) He is really nice, he was talking to us with his lovely scotish accent. And then on Saturday the second show! In the evening I had phoned to nice Sally Moore and we were going to meet her on the bar donwstairs the Spitz. But as I didn't get to recognice her, after the Bill Wells Trio show I asked the boy who was selling the tickets to say her name by the microphone. (I'm sorry about it Sally!) So that I got to know her. She introduced me to many sinister listees: Steve Trousers, Mr Pinefox, Lucy Juicy, Vicky, Marc, Chris, Carsmile Steve, Ally Cook... They are all nice people. It was great to meet them! And a bit amazing aswell. Mr Pinefox is actually a fox but he doesn't have a tale! He asked me to tell him something about their posts but I was too nervous to say anything in my little English. I remembered that thing about the "funny things on sinister 2000" book and what you said about the clouds seeming to move faster as you get older, which made me laugh when you posted it. I promise I have read every post of you! But I can't remember all the contents of them... Steve Trousers was very kind too <I really enjoyed the show although I was looking forward to Isobel singing "sister woman" and she idn't> It was a shame we finally didn't go to the Strange Fruit... I hope we'll have the chance to go there another time, when Belle & Sebastian will be playing next spring-summer (??) Fingers crossed!! Have a nice weekend!! maria _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
