I saw Scarlet Soho in Southampton on Wednesday. I got really drunk on the coach. I had vodka and lemonade. You can really tell how drunk you are by standing up. And it was a shock when I tried to leave the coach. I was very hungry, so I bought an apple and banana pieces in Asda. They were tasty. Bumped into the buds randomly by some traffic lights. I can't really remember what happened but I think I smiled. Alot. SS were FANTASTIC. Most of the people there were young enough to be my own children. They liked kissing each other. I can't even tell you about the other bands, really. I remember talking to Claire, Scarlet, Colin and another dude about Disney m ovies. I think I swore alot. Not in relation to that particular conversation, though.I stayed at Claire's house (it's well nice) in a nice soft bed. The next day we went shopping. We had pizza and I had a CRAZY milkshake with Minstrels. I wasn't convinced such a thing existed. But, by gum, it does! And there's even one in Croydon that I never even knew about.
I was supposed to see Dustin's Bar Mitzvah play when I arrived back in London, but I was unsure if it was still on because they are totally splitting up. So I never did go.
Friday was a nice day of house related things. Like ironing. I like to watch the Pirates Of The Cab (yes) movies whilst I iron. It's become a tradition for me now. Yesterday I had a lovely plan to go to this and then to see an AUSTRALIAN band called The Kits. I drew maps, had bus info and everything. When I arrived at Amy's house, she told me that we HAD to see Babyshambles play in a crazy place called Edmonton. I have lived in London for around 16 years and I've never heard of such a place. It took us fifty years to get there and I'm sure we crossed many timezones. The evening passed just as painfully. The mic kept breaking so everything lasted a long time. Amy got very drunk and rowdy. Men kept talking to me. I had to tell one that I was VERY BUSY because he wouldn't leave me alone! Another shook my hand and tried to make me go somewhere with him. I said no. A little while later he stood behind me eating someone's face off. I soon forgot about him, until he came to pester me again some hours later. And people wonder why I am sometimes rude. Babyshambles came on after much comedy security measures by the bar staff. I had a nice seat on an amp, but I had to stand on it because young people are rude. I did fear for my life. There was a ginger jesus near me, so I shouldn't have worried too much.
I took pictures with flash. It's quite unlike me. I think I blinded everyone. Pete Doherty looks just the same in real life as he does in...unreal life. It's quite mad. I wanted to give him a wet wipe. And, I have to say, they weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. So there you go.It took us a hundred years to get home. Police had to be called to our bus. I wanted to beat the baddies with my stolen drumstick. I don't know why I have it. I wouldn't call myself a fan.Today, we went to Brick Lane and saw all the 'cool' bohemian people sitting in the street and being self-righteous about not washing. I had to stuff a bag of chocolate peanuts down my throat because I wasn't allowed to bring them in with me. The bouncer said I looked like a baby. Which is really rude.
Pete & The Pirates cancelled but we stayed a while listening to good music. Then we went to Hyde Park, which was lovely.Then we went home.
There was some sort of skate-off. This amusing man was involved:
Now, I'm sure that's just about enough of my life for the moment.
