Hello assorted people, ....confusion about my time of waking, this can only mean one thing...Offbeat last night. And what an Offbeat it was! We had a lovely cake and balloons and party poppers (the little bottle shaped things that spew mini-streamers, before you ask) and I had a request done (Le Pastie.) Actually I had two (Panic) but I think he was going to play them anyway because Chris is such a darn good DJ. Gill is too. We also got little sticker albums for our collectable Offbeat "A-Z of Indie" stickers, I shall be collecting all of them and selling them in 20 years for an immense sum of money. Jules, you should have come! Is anyone going to Leeds on the 9th? If you are, I hope to see you there but whereas most people when they say, "I hope to see you there" mean "I'm going too" this one's a genuine 50/50, it all depends on those small pieces of green and brown paper and how they arrange themselves. Had a lot of things wanted to comment on but I can't remember them now, which is probably for the best. Oh, yeah... B&S gigs, I like Rebecca miss them closely, but I'm not as annoyed as I expected to be honest. Wait, I had a delgados request granted as well... Another thing...although I don't mind the fifty pence increase to three pounds for offbeat entrance, you *no longer get the full can of red bull* when ordering Ken's favourite liquid. And if you are the guy who put his full pint of John Smiths on our table only to have money accidently dropped in it, have it decanted into two half pint glasses and then ladled and teemed back into the original glass, I'm sorry, very sorry! But you/he was very friendly and it just goes to show, 'cos in any other club in Sheffield you would have been slaughtered for that. Da da da, just biding my time, waiting for the memories of things I wanted to say flood back into my head. It's quite weird how long posts I write take no time at all and I still have to limit myself as to content, but short posts have me scratching my head for hours. Nope. Have fun Tom XX P.S. I saw most sinister/offbeat regulars last night, nice to see you. Amy, you weren't there, probably had exciting other things to do, hope you enjoyed your holiday. (the Christmas one) P.P.S. Actually, I had *another* request sort of granted, I requested The Primitives "Crash" and another Prims. one, he played one/two genuine Prims then a good cover of Crash.
