It’s 01.30 am…. And I’m sitting in the “blunder bus” on my tod. There’s a very good reason for this, I’m knackered.

Everyone else is still in Cox’s Yard enjoying the hospitality and will soon be wandering back to continue the party atmosphere.

I’m just not quite ready for all that just now. There’s too many things flying through my head, like Dray’s floor tom…. I don’t think I really boxed it right…. I’ll have to sort that tomorrow when we get back into the venue to collect the gear.

The gig was fantastic, but to tell ya the truth, I was so concerned about something falling off the drum kit I didn’t notice what was going on….

Anyhow, tomorrow (nope, that’ll be today) is gonna be a late one as we’re “in Session” with Janice Long. Not too sure of the details but I think we need to be setup and ready for about midnight. Have a google for it if you’re interested.

T minus 10 hours and counting...

It's all go init!

I've just about finished packing.... but what exactly do you pack for 3 weeks on a tour bus with no hotels?

buggered if I know.

It's probably best to keep it that way, If I need anything, I guess I can buy it somewhere.

I'm gonna try an post while "on tour" but I've no idea if I'll get any "tinternet" time so I'll just wing it.

Hay Ho.....

18 Happy Birthdays....

Yes! ..... Yes I am popular! It's official.

I had 18 "happy birthdays" in total.

2 Cards
4 Phone calls
2 txt messages

....and 10 e-mails informing me that at my age I should be considering a penis enlargement, hair replacement therapy or an over 50's lifetime retirement plan (it comes with a choice of free gifts!)

So, thanks to everyone who bothered.

It really made a difference. It's nice to know there are people out there who think it's a good thing I'm around...

Mind you, I'm far too conceited to return the complement. But you all know that anyhow ;-)

Suspended by Stars.....

\\Clothears need not apply//

For Goober....

Goober, I dont think I've got your e-mail address anymore, do me a favour and send it to me... and ya mobile number.

Anyhow, you wanted a copy of the "mullet" picture so here it is..

Goto my Flickr page, then in the "Search By Tags" input box type "Goober"

You'll get a list of all photo's with your mug in them. Find the one ya want.

You can download the piccy by clicking on the "All Sizes" spy-glass icon at the top of the picture, select the size of picture you want then hit the download button.

If it wasnt for those meddling kids....

Another attempt at video hosting.... let me know if this one is any better speed wise.

The wheels on the bus.....

So, it's official (I think.... maybe me posting on this blog makes it official), I'm on The Wonder Stuff payroll!

I was asked a few days ago if I fancied pulling drums apart and putting them back together again for TWS's Andres Karu..... for the entire tour. Thats 12 (maybe 13) gigs in about 16 days

Seemed a bit daft not to really. It's not every day ya get the chance to work with a bunch or Lords.

So, here I am....

Booked time off work....
Stepping out of the comfortable and into the unknown....
No illusions of grandeur here, I'll be worked to near death....
A welcome change from my normal.

Shopping List:

Sanford Sharpies (it's a kinda permanent marker... apparently)
Maglite
Drum Key
(I may have to sneak in a cow bell somewhere)

Something may be happening......

I had a call today, an offer I could only accept.

If work don't throw a spanner into the job, I'll be doing stuff I've only dreamt of.

Tate.....

Tate Modern, Yesterday

I am the girl who wanted to be God...

Please come in, do sit down, take a drink if you say that it helps you think
And I wish you luck, you sick helpless fuck
Oh, I cant believe... we're at this again.

You happened to me, I happened to you
We were in deep and we're stuck up like glue
Saw what you did, I heard what you said
Geez, I hope he was good in bed

All that you ARE , all that you've BEEN
And all that I've HEARD, and all that I've SEEN
And I think you're SICK, what else should I THINK
Yeah, I'm off the RAILS, but it's you... you need to trim your SAILS

So I wish you luck, you poor helpless fuck
Who would of thought it would happen again?
Yeah, I wish you well, with whatever you sell
I hope, I hope he was good in bed.

All that you ARE , all that you've BEEN
And all that I've HEARD, and all that I've SEEN
Yeah, I think you're SICK, what else should I THINK
If I'm off the RAILS, then you... you need to trim your SAILS

Thanks for reminding me I'm not wrong.

I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of stuff.
