Last night

Neon was a bit quiet at the beginning, but a fair number of people stayed until the end. I was on 2-3, and started with In'n'out of grace - one person seemed very keen on it indeed and nobody else seemed to give a toss. Heathens. On the other hand, Excalibur could be seen dimly through the haze, which reminded me that I haven't watched it in way too long.

At some point over the weekend, someone - a pedestrian, and probably a nice, respectable middle-class student - kicked hell out of the driver's-side mirror while the car was parked just outside. Of course, I am aware that the majority of middle-class students don't make a habit of that, so I won't jump to any overgeneralised conclusions about students or about the middle classes.

I should also mentioning getting some more furniture on Saturday, from the very generous retrogoth and Marianne WUTBOLJBIAM. It's a pile of slats that assemble into a shelving unit, which I think I'll put where the TV is, with one of the couches in front of it and the TV by the press - so I won't have a couch splitting the room in two any more. Many thanks. It used to be anonymous_seth and gingiber's before that, so I should probably work out who I'll be passing it on to in due course.

The Grauniad strikes again.

There was a nice review of a Slint gig at Camber Sands - they've reformed and curated ATP. It's a positive review, but there was just one major problem - in the print edition, some helpful subeditor had corrected the name to "Flint" throughout.

An unmiscorrected version is here.
