RE: I don't even know why I said it, a bit of Friday afternoon frivolity is all

I did have plans for the weekend, mostly involving getting my hair cut and drinking (in that order).I'm pleased to tell you that the plan was a great success. Plus the usualy Halloween frivolities, I'm still trying to recover - I think I lost a day s...

I don't even know why I said it, a bit of Friday afternoon frivolity is all

Iron Maiden

Was on a training course in Hounslow, turned up too late for support band Wolfsbane, and anyway we had no tickets, but got given some by someone outside, I am sure it was Tommy Vance. Apparently we saw Jonathon King there too.

Devil Sold His Soul

+ November Coming Fire + Enter Shikari + Her Words Kill + Adler Falling. Please come we are hoping this will be the best yet! First band on stage by 7 with any luck, even if the flyers say 6. It's six quid but totally worth it!
