Long drive home yesterday, Lorri and I had spent the previous evening sorting our future out and it certainly looks exciting and a challenge I'm really looking forward to. It's strange being in Love and having someone to share the good times and bad..I'm just glad it's her!
Got to Leeds for my gig last night, I love Leeds. Even on a wet and miserable Wednesday night the city was buzzing. The gig itself was a strange one. It was the first for a new agent of mine so I was eager to impress. The deal was that some students at Leeds Met University, as part of their Marketing course were required to put on a nights entertainment, hire the venue, sell the tickets, book the acts and make a profit. I was duly booked and turned up to find an empty venue. I had supper in Wetherspoons (what a shit hole Wetherspoons = the new Brewsters!) and when I returned the venue was sold out! They'd done a fantastic job in promoting the evening and even though there was very little "performance" room that didn't seem to matter as I really enjoyed the gig. The lads and lasses went out of their way to make me comfortable and they got the assembled throng nice and warmed up and quiet ready for me. It was a strange gig, playing almost exclusively to 18 year olds, some of my references went over their heads but they really got into the spirit of the evening. Their tutors were there to assess the evening and they got some of the "in jokes". My favourite bit of the night was when 3 girls dressed as ninja turtles (students, wacky ey?) walked past me to go the loo. I announced them as "Dennis Wise and his back room staff at Leeds United" this got a roar of approval as being students, none of them were from Leeds!
The drive home wasn't too bad and it was straight to bed with a drink and the days papers while they no doubt were dancing the night away...I'm getting old!
I'm off to Spain tomorrow for three gigs, back on Monday. I hope it's warm
FTM!

Now then Roughy me old mate - hope you are enjoying life at present as we once again enter the promised land. Even the scum up the road are saying we did a good job probably because they were so embarrassed to talk about their shambles of a season. Drop into your adopted SAFC supporters club sometime in the future, there will be a pint waiting for you.
FTM
