Well Hello there Thought I'd de-lurk for a quick post That's 2 years in a row I've posted now, I wonder if I'll manage in 2006 or if it'll be back to the good old days of lurkerdom like 2003. Earlier this week I rediscovered the fun of going to gigs, I'd not been to a decent one in ages (one of the problems of living in a cultural backwater like Newcastle) but got to relive my childhood when an old friend rang out of the blue to say he had a spare ticket to see the Wedding Present.So what do you do when somebody offers you a free ticket to see the guys who were your favourite band 15 years ago? Well one upset girlfriend and a small argument later and I was on my way. So I ended the night with a broken toe, a cigarette burn, a few pints of beer on my clothes, multiple bruises and a huge grin on my face. Just like being 17 again rather than 27. So now of course I feel the need to go to more gigs. Obviously there's nobody good playing here for the next year or so but what the hell, I'll just see the local rubbish and have fun anyway. I suppose a few trips to visit friends in Glasgow and Edinburgh could also help the situation as they seem to get a hell of a lot more gigs than we do here. Anyway, here I am waffling on with no content whatsoever, you lot should get back to writting loads of cool, witty and touching posts and I wouldn't have to bore you with my ramblings. Go on you know you want to.
