Scranny Ally

We Are Scientist were excellent last night (after finally getting there). Im so sorry Laura for being scranny… I hate driving when I don’t know where im going and I get really wound up by it (and then get short and scranny with my unsuspecting passenger). Just to clarify I can get to Notts ok, it’s just when im IN notts that’s the problem.
In the end we parked in Victoria which we though was the safest thing to do, and we started walking in what we thought was the general direction on Rock City. We asked a suited city guy where to go and he told us to go to the top of this road and we’d be able to see it... which we did, and we couldn’t see it. We got a little bit scared waling the streets of Nottingham without a clue where we were headed, so we asked this man who looked normal (turned out he was bonkers, with not a lot of teeth) and directed us to the club (after pointing out his friend being sick in the bushes).

Got in there fine, got a drink and went to the loo (which are LOADS nicer than Leadmill – no piss on the floor/seats anyway!); we decided to try and stand on the balcony to get a good view. Moved around a bit when the band started but eventually settled on a nice little spot to enjoy the gig. The band opened with “Against all odds” which I know Westlife covered – hilarious anyway! They attempted some banter with the crowd (I say attempted as I couldn’t understand what they were saying – they sounded like American cartoons). I did catch the debate about whose tash was better Chris the bassist or Borats..?

I don’t get why people come to gigs with digital cameras? It’s just not cool is it? I mean by all means take a snap with your moby but taking a digital cameras going a but far…. WELL we stood behind this guy who’d taken his photography to the extreme. Not only had he taken his digital camera with him (which he held like a sandwich according to Laura – I agree but I don’t want to take credit for that beauty!) but he had a little satchel to hold it in, which was slung over his shoulder. Dude I have 3 words for you – What A Twat. Pic of proof! (note I was taking pics of odd people NOT the band).

All in all an excellent night… that dude what hilarious and the band’s encore was “End of the Road” by Boys II Men!!! Excellent! We’d got our arms in the air swaying around! Ha!!

We had a slight bit of trouble getting back to the car, after trying to take a short cut through the actual Viccy centre – we ended up in this other car park which said “Victoria centre” so following Laura’s advice (totally blaming you for this!!) we crawled under the barrier and started walking through a deserted underground car park – I got a feeling that was where I was going to die, and it didn’t take us long to get spooked by a bang so we scuttled off back out and decided to get the car par the way we came out instead of trying to find a shortcut!

Thanks for an excellent night Laura, so glad you came (even if you weren’t familiar with the band) hope you enjoyed it, and sorry again for being so damn ratty!

Kasabian NEXT!
