It’s been a while since a real post and all the things I mentioned in the last summary happened:
My UK tour consisted of:
Edinburgh & Glasgow; Bill Bailey & Alan Davies in The Odd Couple, crap Terry Pratchett adaptation, ?Äö?Ñ????ë??interesting?Äö?Ñ????ë?? adaptation of a Euripedes play by Sarah?Äö?Ñ????ë?¬?s cousin and a cool science show.
Moving onto:
Leicester; chilling with some friedns and picked up Another Code : 2 Memories for my DS a very good game in the style of Lucas Arts. Point N Click.
Then on to:
Reading & London; based in London with trips into London where I gots the new Nu Rocks, lost my train ticket, hung out with Sean (who now has a job, good one mate) and stayed with Sarah’s cousin.
Returned to Scotland, Aberdeen, Glasgopw and Edinburgh to be exact to see PUSA two nights in a row. Exhausting and then back to Eire 🙂
On my trip (I of course bought a few CDs, Sabbath, Priest, Medulla Nocte, Probot, Zero Cipher and others. Sarah got a Mortis CD and seems to like it!?!
When we returned we saw Kila recording for TV and were at the front for both segments, same day went to the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex (Prog/Jazztastic) in The Village where I was laughed at when I attempted to show the doorman my ID 🙁
The week after was all about Maiden from seeing them with 35,000 other people(Dublin), to seeing them with 4,500 other people (London, Hammersmith Apollo) and picked up the rerelease of the Trooper on 12 Inch single 😀
The 5th to the 8th was manic with the British Association of the Advancement of Science (the B.A.) Festival of Science this year in Dublin. I and 4 other assistants organised and ran from scratch an event every day. It was called The X-Change and we got the best speakers of the day to come along and take part in a panel hosted by Quentin Cooper form the BBC. It was mental and fun, threats were made on various lives at variuos times but no deaths 🙂 . The Alchemist Cafe also got involved and we ran an event in the Harbourmaster which was moderately succesful (the Ireland game, Pavarotti AND Simon Singh with Richard Wiseman being clashes). A little more professional then we’re used to though with venue costing money (BA paid for it) and food costing a lot more than we could afford (thank you Biosciences Federation and Society for Experimental Biology). I also chaired the meeting, I was happy our next little venture is in the exchequer on the 2oth of Oct, come along.
It’s been kinda quiet since then old folks went away for three weeks so I was been fending for myself and did well I must add. Sarah was volunteering at the Dublin Fringe festival so I helped out one night and saw a play called Exile for free, twas pretty cool and another piece on the CV :-D.
Gigs coming up include Dio!!!!, Dragonforce, Kerbdog, Foo Fighters and I’m sure others not coming up cause apparently no one wants to take them: Stampin’ Ground with Biomechanical, Arch Enemy, The Haunted and so many others grrrrr
Oh the title is a line from the Johnny Truant song The Bloodening from “In The Library Of Horrific Events” out on Undergroove in October pick it up or else!
