Update type behaviour
It's not going to be a long one though, because "wot I did at the weekend" posts are dull.
Actually this is two weekends because it's been that long since I've updated.
Bluesilver was a great night out...a wonderful laid-back party atmosphere and great fun musically. Huge thanks to daxie for inviting me to guest DJ there. I also succeeded in taking it easy and grabbing some sleep ready for the Sisters Of Murphy gig the following night, which also went well, not least because of the band themselves, who played a stormer. On Monday I ventured out to the uncharted wilderness that is Huddersfield, to celebrate viciouscabaret's birthday and enjoy some stompy industrial sounds at Control Frequency, courtesy of the lovely asw909...and very good it was too. (Thanks again for Orbital!)
This weekend just gone was no less entertaining. Friday Flock went splendidly (viciouscabaret has posted a better write-up than mine about it), and we managed to pack the Phono despite the presence of Batfink just down the M1. It is quite annoying that they clash, but it can't be helped. There's obviously room for both nights. Implant is not such a worry as their musical remit is a lot different to ours.
On Saturday night I got to meet sara_pebbles's parental units. Nerve-wracking in the extreme, and an experience I haven't undergone since I first met my ex-wife's parents (some 18 years ago...ha!). But I needn't have worried - they were very nice people, and we all went out and ate yummy food at a French restaurant in Leeds. All in all a successful night.
Three more days of office tedium to get out of the way, then another weekend and another DJ set at Nightmare. It's looking like Sara won't be able to go though... :-(
