Thunderstorms ROCK!

Friday… well what an absolutely shite day it was for me… spent the day doing loads but not actually achieving much, so I decided to play RRT3… again… but after my lessons I went up to Altacoustics and had a lovely night… bwhaaa haa haaar

Saturday – had van to collect for hire in the morning, loaded van up with the PA and did a gig :o)

The HLC is really a shithole. The power supply is now shagged beyond belief – I had to share a phase with the lighting set-up which resulted in a lovely buzz all night due to the red phase being blown by the “Blood bus”, whose careful and conciencious driver decided to start his engine whilst the power hook up was connected – thus sending a charge backwards through the trips and totally breaking them.

Two more stage blocks have been condemned… sometimes I ask why we bother, then I realise that gigs there are soooooo good.

Sunday – spent the day with Altacoustic doing lovely things, and then saw a new cd-player for my car, spent 20 minutes drooling over it (purple! rah!), 10 minutes realising how long it would take to pay off my egg card, 10 minutes thinking how I could justify such a purchase (hansel pressie/birthday pressie/next 20 yule pressies)… then bought it.

My credit card subsequently farted, folded itself double and hid in the corner, never to appear again for the next month… but I have now got a cool in car CD player with MEGA purple and blue and yellow and red and er… all the colours of the rainbow on the screen.

I did also treat the lovely Altacoustic to some new speakers for Lydia because… well she deserves them :o)

I’m the sort of person who loves music sooo much that I’d spend £5000 on a hifi, and £50 on a telly, and be happy (OK, so I got a big widescreen in the house – but it was a present – my last telly was a portable)

We then had to do Deadline stuff… which was boring… but we do have to have proper meetings once in a while. Altacoustic went home and marked books.

This morning was cool – went to post office and picked up my new mega cool funky jeans (from Dark Angel)… If they look good they WILL be worn on Beltaine :oD… then came into work and spent 3 hours burning things with a hot iron… mmmmm.

The thunderstorm we’re currently sat through is amazing! – all the power circuits have gone down, and I’m sat killing the last hour of the UPS system before that dies too – or the YEB get the leccy back on… if they don’t I suppose I’ll have to send everyone home (including me).

Thunderstorms ROCK!
