Hello Sinister! It's been a while since I popped my head around the door here. It's rather like returning to once-familiar pub after a long absence and seeing a mix of old and new faces engaged in the usual passion-fuelled wit-charged banter, except you don't understand all the words the younger people are using and they've changed the jukebox. Despite being more-or-less sober I failed to remark on the Somerset House gigs in July. Others noted the well-chosen setlists, the ace performance, the enormous and enormously expensive 2-pint beakers that made everyone look like hobbits and Stuart's increasingly irritating tendency towards end-of-pier showmanship. I noted the number of people clamouring to tell their mates that they were much better in [insert venue/year], the extraordinary poshness of the setting and the rather tasty (if inauthentic) poutine in the Lyceum Tavern across the road. The Tibias were alright too. So to other news: after fannying around for ages, I now face the awesome and scary prospect of ACTUALLY MOVING TO LONDON at the end of October. I mean, I've had an Oyster card for ages so I might as well. I'm really looking forward to properly swearing at tourists on the Tube. It's gonna be a sunny Autumn.
