Saturday was Brighton. We went on the train but this was to prove a howlingly bad error when we realised it was Pride day. Obviously, I'm all (well at least half) about the gay, but I just don't want ALL of them in my very small train carriage (far worse on the way back, when an extremely drunk (and not even gay!!) 16 year old girl tried to make 'conversation' with everyone. I'd go into details, but then you'd also lose the will to live (taster: "then I actually had NO life expectancy at all"... sigh, if only). Rachael's set was good, although if I'd known the journey back was going to be such a nightmare, I'd have asked for 'Slow Down' (my favourite) instead of letting her off easily with 'Wildflower' when she asked me what I wanted to hear at the end...
Yesterday there was no show, but Rachael, Meredith and Jacob came over for Sunday lunch, which was really nice - and included an impromptu cover of '...Baby One More Time' in our living room after I had to stop the Britney dissing that was happening at the table. I can't help it, there is a special place in my heart from Britney, albeit a dark and frightening place :)
Today is Cambridge and we're about to leave. Rachael's playing the Bun Shop tonight, which was my local pub when I was doing my Masters. Weird.
Bit of time off on Tuesday and Wednesday as I definitely can't make it as far as Manchester or Glasgow, and I really should do more work. Wednesday night, Alice and I are going to see the midnight showing of the Batman movie at the IMAX. Geeky but cool, I'm sure.
Thursday will be my last show (the 12 Bar, natch), as although Rachael's playing another Brighton show on Friday, I have friends coming for the weekend. I'm sure she'll have had time to work up the full Britney cover by Friday :) hee. Off to some comedy on Saturday night with a big group - local comedy club in Chiswick has Mitch Benn headlining, so that should be lots of fun. Then the following week, it's all about the work. Honestly.

Not wishing to put temptation in your way, but I have a spare room if you are looking for somewhere to stay, should you wish to make the long slow journey to manchester :)
As Mrs Doyle would say "go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on"
Yesterday was lovely, thanks again. It was exactly what we all needed as we fortify ourselves for the madness that is to come in the next 3 days. See you soon!!
haha thanks but NO. I definitely need a night off. Tonight I'm going to sit on my sofa all night eating food and watching TV :)
Not much of a gig whore are you? ;)
However in tribute I shall be once again sporting the "Feminist Chicks" t-shirt.
