.. The boy walked through the entrance door, he was accosted by a man who made a gesture at him, which seemed to suggest "Can I help you". So, eloquently, the boy asked the question "can.. I, pay.. some money.. to, er, get in please", and luckily the answer was yes, and so the boy paid some money and got in. To his surprise he was immediately greeted by a friend, the pair of them complimented on each other's immaculate hair styles, and their respective plans on the next direction for their locks, and decided that warmth was the key. And many a chats and chitters later Chirs Leonard was on, who did some amazing things with a guitar that the boy's eyes weren't quick enough to see, but he could hear and it sounded quite heavenly. Then it was the turn of Tompaulin, who started gently with a folk song, before turning up the rock style by smashing a guitar in half, then promptly captured the audience for half an hour with their music. The boy decided he was going to get one of these funny instruments that they had that was both a keyboard and a recorder, but the last time he went to his music shop asking for a "funny instrument" he got something he didn't quite bargain for. The boy's friend then spotted Stuart Murdoch lurking at the back inside this cave, and she pointed it out to the boy. One minute later, the shock was over and the boy exclaimed "arrgh I just saw Stuart Murdoch". But thankfully he didn't ejaculate too loudly. Another friend of the boy took two pieces of paper, and moments later the boy was handed a piece of paper that read, "To Ken, Stkdjlk Mukdjk" which meant a lot to him. Then, the boy was hit by the thought that he had just seen a brilliant gig, and there was still another one to come, and he was very happy. Just as he was smiling the next gig was on, and how he smiled, after a cover of "Brown Eyed Girl" by van morrison, the band played some fabulous tunes. During the gig, the boy visited the toilet to offer the sewer rats a pint of beer, and just as he was almost finished, a man started telling him of a revelation.. "This just confirms it", he said, "That folk music is not my scene". He left the toilet with the last words of "Give me a distortion pedal and electric guitar any day" before the boy could tell him what he thought about his maw. He came back upstairs, and one of his favourite songs by the band was on, and a favourite song of a couple of other persons too, as they sang along to quite some jest, which is the moment when a man (who had rather nice forearms) turned round and shouted, "SHUT UP!" which caused a bit of a shock. The gig then finished on a high note, after which the boy went singing and dancing and dancing and singing whilst the DJ played some tunes on 45. The boy went to ask for a non-terrorvision tune, and it got played. After more dancing and making letters with his arms and imitating Isobel's TOTP dance during Legal Man and a few more tunes, the party ends and everyone got home. The boy and his fellow companion were then shepharded back to the Tube stop by Sgt. SGS, before getting on, indeed, the wrong tubes once again but eventaully got home. That was it. Ken P.S.: Oh, also, the next day the boy got really bored at work and wrote a fair bit about his day the day before. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
