Well no doubt the whole world and his dog will be writing to the list after what was THE weekend of 1997 (not to mention the rest of my life!) but Im going to tell you all about it anyway... I started by meeting fellow listees Julia, Paul and Sarah (Mad!) at Piccadilly Station, the first time Id actually met people from Cyber space before....all of them normal, with the possible exception of Sarah..... Stopping via the rather ace Manchester Youth Hostel, with Jim swelling our numbers, we pressed on to the Square Albert, and the drinking began in earnest, as fellow devotees began to arrive in dribs and drabs.....hellos to Suart (Worlds Tallest Man), Neil, Ali, Pamela, Paul, Tag, Soozy and all the rest of you beautiful people. Well, the gigs started well on the Saturday and just got better and better...The Town Hall was a fantastically ornate setting, and the band couldnt have been more superb. I was privileged to see all three gigs, and by the time Sunday night came I was in a state of absolute bliss....highlights for me were Dylan on the Sunday night, LLPJ in the afternoon, Stevies guitar playing throughout (what a COOL bastard), Isobels spangly dresses, the effortless interchanging of instruments between the members, the aftershow, the ferris wheel, and, well I could go on in a similar vein for days! Id just like to say thanks to everyone who made the weekend so memorable (esp Jim, Paul and Julia) and I hope to see everybody again at future gigs, in the chat room and on the list etc etc. Right, now for some sleep!
