Where's the summer gone?
Sheesh. There I was all set to take a leisurely stroll long the South Bank to the Tate Modern today, and the weather is rank! It's not raining yet tho that's promised, but it's cold!
I checked the BBC weather website and aparently its 24 degrees. I remember a time when I woulda thought that was hot! Not now tho. Oh well, if it's still dry by the time I get out of the shower, I'll go anyway.
So the weekend gigs were at Jongleurs in Watford, its a bit of a rowdy venue, and the road outside is even rowdier! Lots of drunken youths being escorted into paddy wagons, that kinda vibe.
I like doing the gig tho, cos its always a bit of a challenge, and even better its easy for me to get to. I can get a train from Kilburn or Queens Park, always a bonus.
The bill was cool too. It was a very pleasant surprise to see my old mate Steve Jameson on the line-up. Steve and I have been going for the same length of time, and he's a true gentlemen, not to mention being funny and kind. Anyway a few years ago he came up with this character called Sol Bernstein, who's an old Jewish club comic, and he was doing the gigs as him. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time at Watford, but he kicked ass both nights. It was brilliant to see him doing well.
Even better than that, he doesn't live too far from me and bless his cotton socks, he stuck around both nights and drove me to my door! Thank you Steve.
The other two on the bill are old hands at playing Jongleurs, Brian Higgins and Addy van der Borgh. They both killed, both nights and had tons of new bits in their sets...it was a joy to watch them.
I thought gigging might affect my cigarette intake in a bad way, but it's going really well, Friday I smoked 27, down from 40, by Saturday it was 25 and yesterday I only smoked 23!!!!!!!
At this rate I'll be a non-smoker in a fortnight.
Went and had more acupuncture for the dizziness yesterday, I have to say that so far its doing bugger all for the dizziness but I feel really good inside. I get the weirdest sensations with it too. Yesterday, I was sleeping after she put the needles in (the one that went in the area where my reproductive system is really hurt! Wonder what that means?) but although I was in a deep sleep, I was aware that I was asleep, I could hear my breathing, even the odd dainty little snore! How mad is that? Can you be asleep and be awake at the same time??????
One of life's great mysteries I guess.
Still lovin' the haircut too. I've decided its less Posh and more Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago...blonde version.
Happy days x
