hola Sinister Well, last night was the gig of the Belle and Sebastians, raising money to help fund the Sunbed Alliance advertising costs for a month. Following from a haircut with which I am perfectly pleased (bob, with undercut, and short cutsie fringe that goes against the grain of this seasons long rock-chick eye-skimming fringes. Hey, I don't follow trends, I do my own thing), I went through to Glasgow to meet with the friends, and the fans of the belle and sebastian. I would say shouts to the people I saw, but I had to shout anyway cos it was really busy, and I pretty much said Hi to them all, so no point in doing it again. The pre-gig atmosphere was pretty cool, just hanging out chatting to folks. The band apparently weren't due on til 10:30, so I headed off, got a bite to eat and enjoyed a glass of wine that made me deliciously tipsy, then headed back to the venue. The setlist of the jukebox was pretty darn cool, often one of those little side effects from being in a pub half full with Belle and Sebastian fans. Then everyone headed down to the gig. But that was when it was time for yours trully to head homewards. I'd had enough to drink, it was the last train home. I didn't go to the gig. Hell, I'm seeing them next month. I'd rather save them for special occasions. I remember the joy of the first gig, and the second. The third was pretty good, but the first time.. well, it was the best. And now? its easter holidays! yay! Am looking forward to the pastels gig next weekend though. This will be a first: not seen the pastels before.
