tuesday was the brand new gig, and in all honestly it was just, oomf.
the guy from mewithoutyou was actually scaring me, with his spazmatic dance moves, which looked like he was stuck in the body of kermit the frog, i shit you not. i did ring sharlie for january 1979, but she didn't asnwer, did you? no, you didn't, grr. they were crap anyway, not how i remembered them! it just proves how you can grow out of somethings, i suppose.
supposedly, the other support band pulled out in the last minute. so we only had to listen to mewithoutyou drone on and on for about 40 minutes+ then at 9:15, brand new, yes!
jesse came on, alone and did 'jude law and the semester abroad' acoustic, it was immense. everyone was singing haha, man. it was awesome. they must of played 3, maybe 4 off the 'your favourite weapon' album, practically ALL of the 'deja entendu' album, and most of 'the devil and god are raging inside me' album. so they were on for a good 2 hours+ but amie needed a wee, and we really needed to get home, but it was okay, because we could still hear them sing while we were in the toilet. THE ENCORE WAS 30 MINUTES LONG THOUGH! - that's when they sang most of the 'the devil and god..' amie was desperate for a wee, but i kept her in her seat, she was about to burst, i am so cruel. i rang vincent and sean, and they both sung along, so yes mate!
while we were actually waiting for them to come on, the staff started selling some beverage type, food, thing. but i wasn't quite sure what it was. so i called it chip+dip, thinking it was like crisps and some sort of dipping sauce? amie thought it was ice cream and wafers? so we had some huge debate on it. then some guy bought about 9 chip+dips. so we called him chip+dip guy, because he was cool, oh yes.
there was some guy infront of us that looked like mike, and got up and started to dance alot worse than they guy from mewithoutyou, and the security guard came over and proper shouted at him, so amie and i laughed, because it was immsensely funny, but i guess you had to be there. then we got told off, for smoking. i didn't even see the 'no smoking' signs. and the fact that the seats issue you with ashtrays, totally gives you the wrong impression. so fuck you manchester apollo and your no smoking policy, with your ashtrays -shakes fist-
we got the 192 from the apollo, back into stockport, walked down through the centre to the taxi rank. it was completely dead, it was actually really weird. i miss stockport, and my college. and my friends from college!
EXCUSE THE POOR QUALITY.
AS MY CAMERA PHONE IS QUITE SHIT.
++ i wasn't actually that far away from them either.
