Sinister: a stranger's hand on my favourite dress

[owen lowery]

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.

Owen

PS Good luck to Sunderland tonight all we need is a draw
