Been a long time, been a long time...
Alright, so it's been almost 2 months... sorry. I'll keep this brief and then promise to update more regularly from now on.
In March I went to New York for the first time. I spent 5 days at the lovely Hudson Hotel in Manhatten. Was supposed to see the reformed Van Halen but Eddie is back in rehab, or hospital or whatever. Ended up seeing one of my favourtie stand ups, Doug Stanhope.
The parents came to London for a weekend and stayed with my heavily pregnant sister. We took the folks to see the most bizarre west end show - it was a one off performance from the Beijing Eldery Dance Society or something. It was the most surreal thing I've seen. We were close to the stage in a row in front of diplomats from the Chinese Embassy. They were being rude and noisy and I very nearly decided to make a sudden protest about Tibet but decided wisely against it. The audience was full of English dignitries also...
Went up to Newcastle, was expecting to see my brothers 2nd baby as she was due at the start of the week. When I went back down to London, the baby girl (Madi) was eventually born :)
Keep being extended at work in White City which is cool. I like working there and the people are real nice to work with. Scatch, Noaksey and some others came down 9th April to see the Black Crowes. Brilliant band, pedestrian set list but we made up for that back at my place after the gig. On a school night too!
Sat 12th, Crazy Joe was back in London after nearly a year away travelling. Great to see him. Laurence came over too and we spent the afternoon drinking and getting mashed. At 9.30 we arrive in Morning Crescent in a cab. At the pub we meet up with various of my crew, Scatch, Dit, Will, Michelle and Claud from Oxford, Greg, Slayer, Dan and Emma from London and Tom and Jamie from my Toon crowd. It was a quality night. Went to Koko to see Roots Manuva and it was messy. Me and Joe were last men standing and left at kicking out time.
Sunday, saw Joe off and then Greg came over with beers and we watch Arsenal throw away the championship at Man Utd.
Alan Yentob was in the queue behind me in Starbucks this morning. He kept moaning to a colleague about the press reports over the weekend... He wasn't happy.
