if anybody here attends, tell me later of some tunes you might recall if not too pissed. reading other folks' setlists always helps improving mine.

quitely suff up close is always joyous.

06:10 / 06.05.05

starting to think people just through the name there to bring the crowd.

08:30 / 06.05.05

Nah, he was there. I shat out of talking to him, as a combo of prescription med, etc. had lain me fairly useless.

Quitely original art is tops. I'm sure it's v. expensive. May check out again later this week, when the film crews are absent.

ONLY NICE THINGS

Sorry - my fault. He just looked so good in his uniform that we got a bit... distracted.

pics, anyone?

08:09 / 09.05.05

nae pics sorry.

was actually pretty busy!

new gallery in glasgow - had a bronx feeling - me and the dunc and 'davey fae the arches' went to check it out - lotsa sweaty fellers and some nice ladies too - yon metaphrog bint is well tasty - as is of course ms.mozz.

davey had brought some bud for sale. i bought it. i rolled a big one on the steps opposite the gallery - no traffic uses the road here, it's a part of town that is still in transition; all that was missing - a new york style fire hydrant.

lit the joint. inhaled. crossed the road. saw dunc-falc inside. he joined us on the pavement. he inhaled.

was a camera crew there too;

they corrall gm and he disappears round the corner with them . . the crew wear blue-black leather jackets, kinda hard-looking. . . like insects? . . . they move fast. . . . . .i hear the sickening 'plink' of an einstein roisen bridge . . . i decid to turn the corner myself . . . .
