holy shit, it was an amazing show! SO good! it was video'd and photographed a lot so i imagine there will be vid/photgraphic evidence available someday soon.

i really hadn't heard more than one of their songs on someone's myspace - but based on the talk around here (and the fact that any excuse to go out to Joshua tree is a good one) I went - and was thanking my lucky stars for it in the first song. Yay.

well, i wouldnt say it was a chance, so much as... eh... its a long way to go on word of mouth but i figured i'd rather be out there and have a so-so time then not go and kick myself for it later.

it definitely would have been a self kicker.  laugh.gif

Blimey, that was quick, we only posted that last Tuesday.
Oh and I take it you gathered the stain on the back of the card was from the same wine spillage that wiped my t`shirt out.



Glad you enjoyed the gig too. cool.gif
How was Joshua Tree? Got some good pics?

i'm glad you enjoyed it! they are great.

they played frankfurt not so long ago and i tried my best to persuade cj to go, but he didn't because of work and school. i hope he's kicking himself now wink.gif

anyway, i uploaded this in whopper's song thread, so i might as well post the link here too:

i thought it was pretty fast too - and , no i didnt put two and two together till now  laugh.gif the stain makes it even more priceless. what IS it about you and wine that you always end up with it on you? i think we should all pitch in and get you a set of wine colored t-shirts with your favorite band logos on em. wink.gif

i got some pics, but not of the band. i'll see what comes out later on this week.

and thanks for the mp3 Brix - I bought Cuts Across The Land at the Show and can't wait to hear that too!!!

Usually the trying to do many things at once while thinking of what needs doing next.

Trouble is, I always know whats coming, like I had an inkling before I started trimming my eunymous that I was going to cut the end of my finger off with the brand new, incredibly sharp, secataurs.

And that time I put the loft ladder up, and was fully aware that I wasn`t going to click it back in place properly and have the whole lot come crashing down end first into my face.

Sorry, you can have your thread back now !!!
