pre gig dundeeism

so it was 1:40 am, last night, searching the internet for the word "mellotron", some citizen of dundee using firefox on a PC became the 5000th person to visit this here blog...

(since july 23rd 2005)


dundee...

in the east of scotland on the firth of tay... known as the city of discovery due to it's scientific background and also... but look, there's no point me just repeating information i read moments ago on this page about dundee...

suffice it to say that i hereby recognise dundee as the place of residence of my 5000th visitor and let's be done with it...

it was very nearly going to be finsbury park, london but my beautiful girlfriend did in the end agree to let someone else be the 5000th... she is after all far more special than a mere number...

we're going out in about an hour or so to my gig @ the metro club, oxford street, i've had a mad day of it... teaching this morning, racing over to kennington to run through the set one more time then back on the bike to soho square to load the gear in for the gig, soundcheck... before cycling home through strangely empty cycle lanes ...

i'm pretty knackered but a good dinner will sort me out... then tart myself up and take dinah by the arm and lead her through the bowels of the underground to tottenham court road where we'll probably catch the band on before us (the unready) before i get up there with T's band and rock the place out...

very slight nerves but they've got time to arrive in more numbers as 10 o'clock looms nearer and nearer...
