You may experience some references to May.
I love May. I also hate May.
May is usually the first point in the year that I find gigs I really want to go to. Maybe all the bands are so struck with spring that they all start coming out of their little holes. That's not a problem - I'm not holding that against May. But do you guys get discounts when you organise your gigs in BULK? It makes me cry (in a terribly manly way - think the tears of Dennis Hopper) to think of all the performances I've missed over the past few years just in the month of May.
I'm not saying you're a bad month, May. I'M NOT. I'm just saying there are a lot of other months out there, and we could all learn to share a little more.
Well, anyway, Broken Social Scene and Tilly And The Wall are definites (I actually get to see Tilly this time), Camera Obscura is looking too tempting to resist, though I might have to give Architecture In Helsinki a miss as it's going to be hard to wrangle. But I'm still going to wrangle pretty darned hard, just in case. That might have to be my quota though, which is sad. My strange friends situation doesn't help much either - I don't really know many people my own age. I mostly straddle between an age group five years younger than me and another group five years older; it's not easy to shake your comrades into action when they're split between exam revision and mortgages. Still gonna be fun, though. And at least when I'm on my own I get to be the girl about town for a while.
And I'm really sorry that I've been SO shit at emails recently - I know it's been months (again) but I promise I'll get it sorted soon.
