Last weekend.
Jun. 10th, 2004 01:21 pmI'm not going to get around to a proper writeup for this, so instead here's a brief one. Last Wednesday evening I flew down to London on a BA Airbus. I've never been on an Airbus before - it didn't crash, so I guess I like them. Thursday we went to see Pixies, as previously mentioned, Friday was t'Pub and Saturday was The Dark Rider. See Fiona's review for all of these, but there's just one thing I want to add.
During the Dark Rider's interval I was leafing through the program, and as well as the impressive band (Kate "Dream Academy" St John, Terry "Terry Edwards" Edwards), the cast had its points too. As well as someone (Janet Henfrey) from my favourite film (The Cook, the Thief, the Neighbour's Dog's Veterinary Dentist, etc), there were also Richard Strange from The Doctors of Madness and, playing one of the young lovers, (!!)Mary Margaret O'Hara. I was even more surprised to find that none of my friends had heard of either of them.

Good to see people in the Dev on Sunday, too, although I didn't get to talk to any of you for long enough, or most of you at all really.
This week has been good. It was cloudy for the transit of venus, unfortunately, but there's another Writers' Bloc reading tonight, in Leith, and as Eternal Roadie I'll be taping it. Tomorrow I'll probably be braving the Park Room (or whatever they're calling it these days) if it's still on this late in the academic year, to see what they're up to these days. My old boss is in (or near) town this weekend, but it looks like she's working all weekend and I probably won't see her. And the next weekend, Fiona will be up. Which will be excellent. And, IIRC,
scy11a will be around for a bit about then too?
