ooh that's a strange link.
right. i'm off to sink into this and try spot myself in the crowd.... the manchester date in either 05 or 07 was the best nights of my life thanks to whisky, donnie darko, violins, the drummer letting me have a go on the drums, and then a lift in the van to the train station with donnie darko playing on the dvd thing , and they lent me £20 for the all night caff while i waited for my train*
i've unexpectedly spent xmas eve with loads of old friends in one way or another, and it's the best one i've ever had.
merry xmas in 13 minutes, thread x
*i might have told that story before
e2a: i hugged my laptop at 45 minutes when i think i saw myself in front of the violinist, which was my instinctive safe space to stand nearly every time i saw them. i bought him a whisky after the first ever national gig i went to with about twelve people there
i'm delighted that he was my whisky gateway - i'd thought for years that it started in 05. cheers padma x
