They can't have it, you can't have it, I can't have it too

The briefest of reviews presented in the form of an awards ceremony:

I should like to offer awards in the following categories...

Good-time music: Rezurex (despite the silly name). Feelgood zombie rock'n'roll. With a double bass.

Forgettability: Christians Death. "There's some bloke on stage, mumbling!" I complained to Greg[*]. "Yes," he said, "that's what Christian Death sound like."

Controversially appearing to have fun on stage: Specimen. They're not dead yet.

The Rogue award for services to hairstyles: Specimen's keyboard player.

Runaway success: Voltaire. Second on the bill and playing to the largest audience I've seen at Whitby in a while.

Life-sucking tedium: Wayne Hussey. And he was on stage for about a week.

Serious bastard coldness: the weather on Friday.

And for individuals...

Long-running quality flatmate award: shared between davefish and keris.

Seriously ill-advised clothing: naranek. Deliberately, fortunately. I hope there are no photos.

Comedy genius: tukie for waving his arms about on Saturday morning in a sufficiently humorous manner that it still made me giggle when I thought of it last night.

[*] Note for Oxgoths: Greg. He still exists.

Sorry I missed you - I even only saw Dave for about 5 minutes.

NMA London in December - coming?

Sorry I missed you, too - I assumed you and Dave would be geeking about cameras for ages, but when I came back you'd gone...

NMA... <rummages online> December 17th ? Oh, I don't see why not...

[kneeshooter]

Excellent. I must get my ticket actually come to think of it...

Teardrop Explodes, "Reward", obv.

One kudo to you, sir.

good review, didn't you like Beauty of Gemina?

sorry to have missed you we normally manage a flyby hello - weirdly this wasn't the most stressful for a while.

I actually managed to miss Beauty of Gemina, so I have no opinion of them at all. Did I miss much? I did see you in the distance a few times, but you always seemed to be dashing from a to b or deep in conversation :)

you have clearance to get in my way and to interrupt. Ok? :)

see you April ;)

Heehee, I'd forgotten about cloaks. Now I am grinning again :)
(so it's either that or the cold-tablet has kicked in)

You haven't got a phone number/ mail addy for or anything for him have you? I found his copy of Watchmen the other day- he leant it to me just before he left...

[venta.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no, but he was there in April as well so we can optimistically assume that he might be there next April.

He said he'd been in Oxford recently visiting, and he didn't come and see us. Miserable git :)

*that* Greg? OMG
hang on, you're *that* Ed? :D

I feel i need to update things here a tad!

[edling.livejournal.com]

Blimey! I'm kind of expecting Nathan to pop up now...

Does the "We won a prize" dance!!!!

Hopefully in April we will be able to hang around for longer.
