Highlights:
Frank Turner and Jonny Black playing Johnny Cash, Abba and Weezer covers in the Rott.
Meeting some brilliant new folk (Chris, Chris, Denise, Michelle, etc).
The random Sunday night in Pat's Bar.
Sian's hospitality.
Hearing how much was raised for Oxfam.
Dan Donnelly's spide song.
Soon-to-be-ejected, drunken man from Coleraine lap-dancing Kelly in McHughs.
The sugar-high induced weird night that unfolded outside the men's loos at the Rott.
Seeing Burning Codes.

Last night I nearly died, literally
Humeur actuelle :

affamé

Okay last night was the second time I've nearly melted in the space of a week but it's all been worth it! The Duke Special gig in the Empire on Thursday was by far the best gig I've been to in aaaages. Non-stop entertainment from the minute it started. From circus performers to crossing dressing and from good old-fashioned singalongs to crowdsurfing! My face actually hurt fron laughing.

Did a one-handed cartwheel while spinning a football on his finger. Respect.

Then balanced this woman on his head.

A surprisingly good looking bunch even as women :)

Thomas Truax is a legend.

Everyone together at the end...

Don't know if the heat was getting to me but Paul was looking particularly well!

The stagediving finale

What a night. And all for £14, can't be bad.

Oh yeah and I went to Vital on Tuesday....

The Hold Steady were awesome!

The Rumble Strips were pretty damn good too

Oppenheimer were brilliant - really loving them these days!

Not exactly 40 quids entertainment but fun nonetheless!

What's your dream Kathy? Everyone has dreams.
Humeur actuelle :

Glasgowbury :)

A sell out, would you believe it? 1500 folk gathered in the Sperrins. That's approximately a million times the amount of folk that were there last year...
Best festival I've been to. Totally chilled out and the biggest array of age groups I've ever seen together in one place!
Last year...it wasn't exactly a challenge finding a parking space...

This year the car park overflowed out onto the road and up the mountain!

Caught quite a few bands DELORENTOS, John D'Arcy, General Fiasco, The Black Tokens, Nice n Sleezy, Joe Echo, Triggerman, And So I Watch You From Afar, The Jane Bradfords, ETC, ETC

Joe Echo (Ciaran Gribben)

The Black Tokens

DELORENTOS

General Fiasco

Oppenheimer

John D'Arcy

Some scary bastards.....

Happy memories :)
Same time next year then?

Make Cheese Not War
Humeur actuelle :

anxieux

Today was the end of an era. I'm no longer an employee of Centra :( Apparently I have to join the grown-up world. Booo. Gutted. To add to my misery I sliced open my index finger on the lovely card they'd all signed for me :(
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Oh yeah, and last weekend I went to Oxegen

It all started well.....

Samantha looks optimistic

Still dry

Not for long - revert to wet weather survival mood

Oh yeah, there was some music going on too

Jack Penate - one of the few artists who makes me wanna dance!

Consistent favourites, Maximo Park

Love the record but I was lukewarm on them live, The Hold Steady

Suitably impressed, Tokyo Police Club

MON THE BIFF!

Happy memories..

Awesome, awesome, awesome, Bright Eyes

:)

Cheesers

Love, love, love, Air Traffic. Criminally empty tent for them.

Muhahaha

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti
Humeur actuelle :

joyeux

Just back from me holidays in Gümbet. Bit of a building site at the minute but close to everything you need to get to in the area. A 20 minute Dolmis ride to the more touristy Bodrum. Dolmis are buses that are literally everywhere you turn. They toot as they drive past and if you want them to stop you just wave. There is no such thing as bus stops, you just get off where ever you fancy. They cost about 60p a trip.

Where I stayed..

Our pool..

Our guard dog, Shumerack..

And my ever trusty guard tortoise..

It's not a hard life..

I've never seen so many of these in my life..

My preferred form of transport...

A local delicacy?

The day I thought the world was ending..

I highly recommend a trip to Turkey, it gets alot of bad press and people have an unjustly negative view of it. All the guys I met were absolutely dead on. Turks, Iraqis and Kurds all working in this brilliant bar which we frequented most nights! >>HERE<<

Some of the guys in question (who all went by english nicknames to save people trying to pronounce their real ones!)

So all in all a brilliant holiday, I can't recommend Turkey highly enough!

Oh!! and I shared a friendly nod with this dude one night while he was enjoying his dinner.>>>>>>>>

Humeur actuelle :

05/05/07 - it's the start of something

charged over after work to take up my position as part-time tour guide, full-time rubbernecker.

spent most of the day listening to these two eager children(!)

once we chucked out the viewing public it was time to drink cider, eat pizza and watch soundchecks (oh, and clean shit)....

Seriously, pinch me!

then i had to run but not before being the filling in a brilliant man-sandwich! (ohhh yeahhh)

dashed to the odyssey for a bit of old canadian-style rock-n-roll!
Seriously gutted to have missed most of the gig but still an amazing amazing day, no regrets!

then mad dash back to find James Nesbitt outside entertaining the smokers!

and our lovely little stall buzzing...

and a nice new window display... (some bargains there I'm sure you'll agree)

then watched Duke Special end the day with a mass singalong of 'Oh Yeah'.
