Rachel Stamp tonight. :D Met Kate, Emily &Claire in the bus station, they were sitting on the seats outside the newsagents. My taxi was this great big eight seater monster that took me to the wrong place so he had to turn around. Only time I've ever seen anyone attempt a TWO point turn, lol. Then I had no change so he had to go &get change &I'm sitting in the back of this beast hoping it doesn't get hijacked, hehe.
Lucy turned up, then Rob, &after Kate got chips we headed off to the metro station &got the metro to Haymarket. Got off the metro &off to the uni, where we queued up in the cold &got talked at by people, then went into the upstairs bit of Newcastle Uni, sat down near what we were calling a kiddies playpen cos everyone sitting there was about 12, haha. (what is it with me &kids at gigs? It's like the frigging Pied Piper or something, lol).
The first band came on &the first song they did was alright, but after that, fucking hell they SUCKED OUT LOUD! Ugh! Also, the singer called Rob a puff. Lovely. We watched them for a while then decided to sit down cos they were so crap.
The second support band were on next, &they were GREAT! Shame we didn't catch the name of them, I thought they might be C33X for some reason, but I don't think they were. Anyway, they were wonderful, so I'll have to investigate them. According to Kate the guitarist was eyeing me up, I noticed it too but I was thinking maybe I read too much into it 'cos I know I can be a right arrogant cow sometimes &think everyone wants to shag me, haha. :P
At about ten to ten, Rachel Stamp came on, &I think DRP might have recognised me from the My Ruin gig in Boro, cos he was looking over &stuff. They did (among others that I can't remember);
I Wanna Be Your Doll
Witches of Angleholm
Monsters of the New Wave
Do Me In...
Pink Skab
Black Cherry (I thought of you Mr Iain
lollirotme <3333)
I was going to grab one of the setlists, but someone else got it before me, gah! Twas because I thought they were going to do an encore, cos the setlist said they had a few songs left to go, so I wanted to grab it after they'd done the encore, but people started moving equipment off the stage, &everyone started leaving. So off we went, all full of hell &effing &blinding all the way back to Haymarket because of what that guy said to Rob. My accent gets dead broad when I get pissed off, hehe.
We got on the Metro &Claire needed the loo, so she ended up getting off at Central to find a toilet, so we were all worried about her &wanting her to ring people to let us know she was alright.
When we got back to Sunderland, Rob &Emily went to Pzazz &me &Kate went to find my taxi. These trendies walked past us &were all pissed &acting funny, like pissed people do, lol, then this guy starts asking me &Kate what bands we like, then says, "you're not from Sunderland are you? Your accent's not Sunderland", &just as I was quizzing him to find out what accent he thought I DID have, my taxi turned up. Typical. :P So I came home &had some tea &a salmon paste sandwich \m/.
