Saturday: I'll try and keep the facts to the bare minimum. Nearly didn't go 'til Steve text me on Friday afternoon. Did a dummy run on Saturday morning to make sure I could find the place (got a bit lost and wound up in Northfleet and had to back track). Text Steve that I'd go if he'd give me a lift to Gravesend train station...

Thursday: A guy actually apologised for nearly bumping into me when I got off the tube at Oxford Circus, I assumed he mustn't be from London because it is very rare that you will be shown such courtesy in this place. Had a look round HMV then went to Sister Ray and bought a Birthday Party album, then to the megastore formally known as Virgin...

Saturday: I did this on a whim really, I saw this show advertised on the Metal Hammer board and thought I'd not bother going out on Friday, save my money, buy a ticket on the day and even if I couldn't get one I'd still go record shopping in London. As it happens the show was far from being sold out (my ticket was numbered...

Monday: So this is my last chance to go record shopping in Camden, went to the second hand shop, got the new Joe Lally, the Rapeman CD and Fugazi's Furniture EP. Went up the street to look at the corpse of Fopp then had a look at the other second hand shop, they didn't have anything sorted into order, could find some gems there but...

Saturday: This was a last minute decision when Mills told me him and Steve would be going to this show and I booked a ticket Thursday morning. Steve picked me up from my house, drove Nadine home after spending the night at his. Got lost trying to find Mills, so I called him and he said he'd get a lift down to where we were....

Tuesday: Went down the Tap way too early as I normally do when I'm paranoid I'm going to get there too late for the one band I really want to see. After a while of hanging about by myself I got my wristband to see the bands. Later Geoff, Lindsay and some of her friends came down, they saw me by myself and took pity...

Monday: Turn up at the RBLI, go to the Signs manager office, he pairs me up with this guy Ray who shows me how make a sign, I do two, get one off centre so he doesn't let me do another, spend the rest of the day filing and sanding down the sides of the signs for him, something he could have easily...

So I'm taking a part time job making road signs in fucking Aylesford, which I don't really want to do but they basically giving me the job and I need something to do while I waiting for an office job and the voluntary thing fell through (although the woman at the agency is still trying to get me a placement so all is not lost...

Thursday: Got the train to Canterbury from Chatham, took a wrong turn trying to find the same way I found Beercart Arms when I was last here but made it on time. After paying on the door I saw the members of Wired and Nadine go into the men's room to take a new photo for their MySpace. Had a chat for a while, watched...
