I'm - i think the word is shellshocked - for the first time in a good coupla years. Shellshocked in a fantastic way mind you. I've just gotten back from my last minute excursion to see Six By Seven at the ICA tonight. Every single opportunity I've had to see them over the past few years has always ended in disaster, it was almost as if I was never meant to see them. Now I just cannot believe what I've been missing. I was fine until about a minute after we left the venue, at which point something just struck me and I was pretty much unable to string the most basic of sentances together.. apologies for my sudden muteness dude. As I walked up Charing X Rd, a lump - still present to this second - formed in the back on my throat. I don't think I blinked for several minutes. I'm currently somewhere in between wanting to cry and not having any words to vocalise. All this from what I'm lead to believe was a "weaker" performance. Anyone who knows me will be aware that this kind of effect is rather rare, even when I goto the best gigs, the most I will normally suffer is wibblyness or the after effects of a hypnotic state. Just. Och.
I also got some shots with the new cheep camera I purchased to sneak into a big gig next week. Now, I must say, for £60odd, the quality in which these have come out has impressed me, esp as the light was low! Again, apologies, I'm not at one with the LJ cut thingy so you'll have to put up with three photos...
In other, less emotional news, I want to make a pit stop in Louisiana next Friday. Paramount pictures have announced an open casting call for background extras to work on Cameron Crowe's new movie. I've never had aspirations to be on celluoid before, but this is the Big C we're talking about here. Any other day I'd laugh the thought of flying 4000 miles to do this, but as I'm in the country and only a coupla hundred miles... it's sorely tempting to make a slightly expensive diversion. I doubt this will happen, but y'know, it might, if I get my insane way :P
Look at me babbling. I need a drink and a youghrt. Nights.
