Esher Posse Tour: Day Two
Wednesday 10th December 2003 - Wembley Arena
The second gig of the Esher Posse tour started yesterday morning when I texted Nick to get his final answer on whether he was coming to the show. He'd decided against it because of the apparent Tube strike, which meant that him and Rachel might not be able to get back to Esher before the last train.
I was staying over at Amys house for the night so I wasnt affected by it. Which meant it was up to me to carry the good name of the Esher Posse for the night.
I arrived at Esher station and walked onto the platform, where I saw a bunch of guys in Feeder t-shirts. One of them looked suprisingly like Damon Albarn... Anyways I asked them if they were off to Wembley and they said yes... We got chatting on the way there and it turned out they were proper hardcore fans from 1998. Which was cool because I could talk about Bsides (and singalongs - Ataris fans ;) ) and not have them stare blankly back at me and ask what TVme is... lol
We got to Baker Street where the guys left for Wembley and I caught the train to Amy's. I dropped my stuff off there and passed the time by playing piano with Ames... Just the thing to get you in the mood for a rock show :P lol
Me and Amy got to the venue and queued up, got our wristbands and went down to the standing area. I shouted at Aqualung again, and Amy told me off :P She went to the toilet a few times and eventually we settled down to TCTC. They were a good, entertaining little band.
Nance texted me during their set and asked where me and Amy were, so I said we'd come over and say hi after the Coopers. And thats what we did! Which then led me to bump into Yunass!! Which meant that I wasnt the only Esher Posse member there, and I also saw Yune, who i havent seen in ages... lol
Then Feeder came on. They played exactly the same set as Brum, but myyyyy god it was so much better. The distortion was spot on and the crowd was far more into it... Everything bad had been ironed out.
After the show me and Amy walked back over to Pete and Nance to say goodbye and stuff, when from nowhere, Dave appears!
"Chapmaaaaaan!"
"Daaaaaave!!
Had a little chat, and a while later, possibly from nowhere as well, Bex and Liz come over. At least I think it was Liz. She was stood next to Bex and didnt say a word so I kinda had to make a wild guess :P
Nance took a few photos of the Feederposse, both of which I ruined by blinking, and sneezing... lol
Everyone said their goodbyes and we all went our separate ways. We stopped off for chips on the way back to Amys, and shortly afterwards we allll went to bed.
And no one asked for my autograph :(
