hello hello! can you report back on saying hello to someone? if so, here goes! i said hello to amy skelton. for some reason i thought she was going to be american. but she wasn't. she's probably back in bangladesh right now with her shiny new visa, but it was nice to meet her. she came along to HDIF with a few pals from the olympia beer do and seemed to have fun. hope you enjoyed it amy! that wasn't much of a reporting back was it? sorry. i did try and spark up a conversation but kept being lured away by those pesky indie pop records finishing after three minutes. soul records are even worse. thank god for the velvets. i've perfected the four minute toilet dash by now..! all of which is a roundabout way of leading into this...
