The concert went OK -- in my eyes it was more of a "happening" than a musical program, but that may be because I am anal-retentive when it comes to things like this.

The organisers and the musicians liked the piedce, however, and so we may do it as a solo thing in the summer using only acoustic instruments, which I think would serve it...

I remember that 82-83 European run fondly. Roma cheated you out of a place opposite Liverpool in the final. frown Not all been crap since then though. UEFA cup final in 87. As much as we managed in 2003. But yes, happy to book your place in that competition again. I think Sunday's result, sealed it. All you've got to do now is stay up!

Thanks for joining the Doctor Who group. smile

-We saw DFA1979 and Shellac last week and they were both a ot of fun.

-- Watched Arsenal draw Chelsea 0-0 yesterday and Everton (!) knock of Man U, which was also quite pleasant. Now we hope for the...

Woo hoo Arsenal! Woo Hoo Dundee United!!! Woo hoo!

OK, so DFA 1979 were very good... if the guys themselves seemed a little weird. I think the idea of the deadpan has lost a lost of currency in this era, and it's a sad thing.

For example: Say you are in a band. Here comes a couple, buying a bunch of shirts and CDs at...

wow, i'm impressed!! li, your support is much appreciated. you should 'meet' my friend on here and in real life jimmykane he's a big arsenal fan.
jimmykane:
hey ....an arsenal fan biggrin

nice to meet u!, october mentioned you earlier when i spoke to her, u write about football in the states? sounds like a fine job!
i went to the blackburn game on saturday, did you cover that? van persie was superb.
see the chelsea game yesterday? i was a little disappointed with the arsenal attack, i don't see the point of playing Bergkamp when he plays so deep, especially when VP is on top form surreal

i think you're the first gooner i've met on SG so far! smile

Off to see DFA 1979. We'll see how it goes. First time out at a crowded, hot show in a long time. A little nervous, but I have been preparing, so I hope it will be OK.

I am at HardBoiled on Roscoe at Damen 12-9 tomorrow if you would like to stop by and say hi.
Go Arsenal!

Busy weekend coming up. If I am able to, I'm going to try and see Death From Above 1979 and Shellac (got tix, health is another issue) back to back, which should be fun. Also got the FA Cup semis early Saturday am which will hoepfully produce a much-needed Arsenal win!

Lovely to see Dundee United in the Cup finals, too, though against Celtic I...

Hopefully today marks the end of what has been a winter-long season of work on the house. We've done so much to it and it looks great, but we're at the point where we are burnt out with it. I love having an old house I always wanted a brownstone but they are never-ending projects.

In five days (count 'em) we will be in MIAMI!...
