went to the hoxton place last night - nice to see you again shaz, and yes it really was a bar and grill or something, but you went through the secret door where you got your hand stamped like in the sixth form disco, and youre in a venue. Who'd have thought of that. Support band were quite good - which just shows how open minded I am these days about proggy stuff, indeed if it was proggy, I'm at a bit of a loss these days. The other week I was talking to some young chap at the bar in my local and he said he was in a band. I asked what kind of band (brass, silver etc) and he said 'stoner'. Now I diodn't really know what he was on about, I've heard of rock bands, prog, folk and even punk bands but that was new on me, I should have fessed up but I missed the moment and just stroked my chin and nodded sagely. But perhaps that was what I witnessed last night. Anyways, to the main event. and yes it was quite good - Smiffy, cast your prejudices aside if you get the chance. Disappointing indeed that I had to leave early (they were late) to get the train home (gone are the days are sleeoping on a bench at the station). Dressing up included and lots of weirdy projections - you can't help thinking that other people would go for therapy but that nice Mr Sergeant forms a band and subjects us to it instead. The dancing pig was really quite dusturbing, wonder where he gets all this stuff. Anyways, thats it. good stuff.
