Yay!

I just bought a ticket for Grinderman at the Forum on 20th of June :o)

They are on Later... at the mo and I thought I have a look if they aren't touring and they are. :o)

In related news, the new Beverly Knight stuff is awesome, too. Really cool Soul/Bluesy grooves.

ebay pimping

azrelle is selling some costumes on ebay, incl. two corsets (one Vollers), most only worn once or twice as they were costumes for photo shoots.
Go and have a look if you're interested.

[RPG] Hollow Earth Expedition, Session 1

Got up early enough, had breakfast while chatting to jupiter_jones a bit, packed my stuff and set off. No trouble at all until I hit the A1M which was stop-an-go for quite a bit. Thanks to elani's well written directions, I found the car park with no problem and as I was walking up the hill, I heard davedevil call my name behind me so we walked to sherbetsaucers cute timber-framed house together, where I randomly met onelittlething who is one of his housemates. We then walked over to meet colonel_maxim on the way to play the game at elani's.
Character generation was quick and simple so after the usual mucking about we got the game started and quite a few bits done. The scene was wonderfully set and ended in a proper cliffhanger, too.

The cast:
Freddy "Four-Eyes" Fredricks, dashing young reporter for the New York Explorer (me)
Cpt. St. John de Vere, British India Army officer (colonel_maxim)
Thomas Jeffreys, black man who recently inheritetd the estate of a rich industrialist (sherbetsaucers)
Catharine Brookmyre, English lady of mysterious talent (elani)
I shall be writing an IC bit later tonight.

When I left, it was raining but it really started when I was underway. This lasted up to junction 9 where I left the A1 in bright sunshine and blue skies all the way to Cambridge.

Now I'm going to cook something so I can have dinner when Eurovision starts.

Eurovision

Heh, Moldova do operatic metal better than Finland. :o) That and Bulgaria are my favourites. Hungary is cool but has no chance of winning and neither has Germany which is a very good entry, at least compared to recent years.

ETA: Apocalyptica FTW! And as so often, the voting break act is the best.
