A dense weekend.
A lot's happened I guess. It's been good. I'd been looking forward to this weekend for ages, for a number of reasons. It went pretty much to plan. I finished for (for 6 days) on Thursday, Friday was impromptu / inappropriate BBQ time! Then The Twilight Sad gig. They were superb. They sound much fiercer than previous gigs. You can tell they've toured with Mogwai, the second last song became a wall of feedback and distortion. It sounded and felt like something was trying to claw its way out of the amps. Superb stuff. After that, back to Mangus's for beers and general arseing about.
Saturday had a lot more in store. Went to Rutherglen for Counsins Get Drunk and Play Pro and Brian Doesn't Pass fun. Was top class, excellent banter. Should make it a monthly deal for sure. Then eventually I turned up to the Classic Grand for Jen's last night out OUT. It was great in there, everyone was out. Good to see them all, especially Jen & Pete obviously, McClernon and Jamieson (who I'd no seen in ages), Pam (coz) and the Madskulls. Eventually Rhona and I went back to Jen's where shitey / awesome 90s music played in an entirely un-ironic way (culminating in Cast - Walk Away).
Eventually I was allowed to leave at like 10am. Was far more, I dunno, difficult than I thought. It'll be so strange for Jen to not be *right there* for 6 months. Hadn't thought about it until yesterday & today... Still, it's not that long in the grand scheme of things.
Today I got up at like 2pm, watched the Liverpool "game" (atrocious performance) and daydreamed through the evening. Few beers with Alice & Mal, watched some Trailer Park Boys. I'll call them Malice from now on, that's a fucking belter! Up the road, long sleep. Hanging about with Pam tomorrow. Over-all, the weekend was top class 'coz I got to see most of the favourite people. Lovely stuff, can't ask for more than that. Well, à demain.
