Dear all, I'm so bored at work today. The sky is grey, and I'm sad to say that that eclipse thing will be many clouds away. Still it's probably the best way of preventing retina damage isn't it? Anyway to distract from boring work... yes it's nearly time for my mini world tour of New York, Boston and Toronto before washing up onto the fair golden sandy beaches of Camber Sands for some music festival with a bunch of degenerate alcoholics (and yes I do mean you). If anyone wishes to interrupt theses adventures to have a beer or a nice cup of tea with me in any of the above places please let me know. Also I need the lowdown on places to go i.e clubs and bars in Boston and New York especially and if their are any good gigs in NY at the end of August or in Boston at the start of September. Any help on these matters would be more than appreciated and earn my eternal gratitude. Actually could anyone also teach me the etiquette of tipping too as that completely baffles me, especially when they start giving free drinks and I'm a bit tipsy. It's all very confusing. Is it rude to bring a calculator? I also saw that Kate Rusby on telly the other day. She was quite lovely and I found her playing quite enchanting. I was more than surprised to find a thug like Casarotto could appreciate it, but obviously there's more to him than cynical fouling and a love of Britney Spears. I'm sure I had something else to say... I'm pretty sure it wasn't about Cornish Pasties or nipples, lovely though they are... oh I know, it was Funky Seb in that video, he did say he was going to be in a Moby video so it probably was him. And it's nice to see the debonair, classically trained Geoff on the photos page. His mum must be so proud.
