I once slept in a bush outside the Polytechnic but I wouldn't recommend it. :lol:

Evening.

Courtesy of Jamie I'm finally residing on-planet. Yo. And lo and behold, I'm suddenly well looking forward to the gig. Currently listening to Chicago 91, reminds me nicely of the Sisters live power, not to mention :von: 's (past) ability to cover a fcuk-up. Brilliant performance, full of That Which Is The Sisters. Here's to more on Wednesday. Having expected so little, I now wouldn't be surprised in the least if they blow the house down. See you Wednesday birls and goys, can't fookin' wait. :von: :twisted:

I might not be going now. Been floored with the mother of all colds for the past couple of days, and feeling more than a little under the weather. The last place I want to be right now is in the middle of a sweaty moshpit.

I'll see if I improve any before Wednesday. Certainly hope so :cry:

London-Leeds train tickets now booked (two single tickets are amazingly much cheaper than a return), I'll be arriving in Leeds about half one on Wednesday afternoon with tales (and photos) of the London gig.

We may yet find you a sofa or at least a blow-up bed mate. Like Claire said, it's a pretty cold place in the small hours, the old TechnoGarage.

Paul, are you sure it's OK to take a camera in at the London venue?
I've got a real camera (of course, not professional but not a moble phone) and I'm very serious.
finally I'd like to take photos of something more decent than Berlin toilets (see my current avatar) ;D

I rang the Astoria a couple of months ago and they confirmed it was OK. So long as you've not got a telephoto lens on it I think you'll be OK.

*BAD AND WRONG mental image!* :eek: :urff: :eek:

Dave, haven't you forgotten Mr. Skellington? :twisted:

Actually, now that I think of it - you own a bouncy (in essence, blow-up) castle, a blow-up Jack Skellington - am I detecting a theme devloping here? :innocent:

Haha, you can kip on Mr Skellington if you like Claire, you old goth. Though you may have to blow him up first. I hope you've got the lung-capacity. :innocent: :twisted: :kiss:

And fwiw, the castle was hired. I've some ace pics of the kids looking horrified and ready to kill when the man came to take it away. :lol:

But yeah, draw yer own conclusions girl. I wouldn't sexually-discriminate against anything wearing Tim's boots. :twisted: :lol:

My ignorance is somewhat alleviated.

Not enough to make a confident guess, but I have a vague idea ;)
