Busy day. We met Sue and Pete for lunch at The Slug and Lettuce.As always it was lovely to spend some time with them and have a catch up. After a brief visit to a couple of shops. Then we came home to have a chill out before heading back into the city for a gig.
It was weird going out in the evening, but I'm glad we did Voltaire was great, as was Hurtsfall the first band on, the second were OK but not my style, Lesbian Bed Death, more punk and noisy, even Kev wasn't keen, but they got the crowd going well enough and by the time Voltaire came on the crowd were well up for it. It was only a typical goth venue, upstairs ( ugh!) dark and small. But luckily they had seats round the edge and I was soon ensconced in one and sat there until Voltaire played. I managed to stand up for a couple of numbers, but had to sit down during his lengthy chats, and the later songs.
Highlight of the gig for me was chatting to him as we waited while he soundchecked and set up his merch stall with Myumi his long time girlfriend. Nice chap and offered me a seat. He was impressed with my bat walking stick and my skeleton dance pattern trousers. Bless him.
We obviously had a taxi home after the gig, and the city was fairly busy as there was something on at the arena. Most of the pubs were closing as it was past 11pm. Dirty stop outs! I felt like a naughty kid out late on a school night, almost creeping back into our bungalow complex.
