auto auto, play music from damaging cars, haven't watched it myesl' but sounds intriguing are at hamersmith studios till 4th may

12:11PM - so

after spending the remainder of the weekend beating myself up about cocking up chatting someone up at a party on saturday and wondering if i'll ever see her again she gets in touch thru facebook, glad she did i was wondering about the stalking etiquette of doing such a thing.
in other news am wondering whether to contunue doing uncle bills, the last one cost me 500pounds and the other guys are all very good at saying they'll chip in but so far no money where mouths are.

8:40AM - Today

Starts with putting a stage up for the Easter Bunny and Mad Hatter, better get cracking with that hey're due here soon
then it's off to the Glad,
Then you know when you get some stranger texting you and you reply who's this and they tell you and you still can't get it but they've got your name right so after a few text's where you both realise you don't know  where you know this person but seeing as they've invited you to their birthday, sod it you might as well go and see who this strange person with your number is anyway,
Then should drop by for the last dregs of Justine's housewarming, by which time everyone will be drunk

John Drain
Playing Monkey's pub this saturday
That's The Glad, Lant St,
Nearest Tube: Borough

Live, free, soul selling blues

2:20PM - Thanks

To all the Bohemianauts 
and thanks to John Drain

To all of you for rocking up, 

To those that didn't you missed some good bands

8:34AM - L' weekend ahead.

Saturday, 


Free entry, shit hot blues from John Drain, honestly this geezer is amazing, 
The Bohemianuts ever expanding gypsy band, I booked a trio, think I've got a six maybe seven piece rocking up.
 DJ's playing ska, dub, rock ' n' roll, punk, good stuff etc. 


SUNDAY
 Seven acts, £6, that's less then a pound an act and thats not including whats going on off stage, 
Y'all know about this anyway but there might just be one person I know in London that you don't
Hopefully catchya at both but those bloody evil work monkeys have got me in their grip again and even if I finish in time it'll be too late to make it so here's to finishing early.

8:44AM - Uncle Bill's mobile Disco

The gypsy pastiche trio grew legs and arms and may have become a sextet, am thinking if I keep them in a dark damp cupboard they may breed like amoeba and become a dodecahedronet (or a twelve piece).
We've also got real live blues from John Drain.

Current mood: pants, wet

4:21PM - Saturday May 17th

Velofax have just confirmed for next Uncle Bill's

Kraut-rock disco grooves.
Watch this space and others for more info.

Current mood: chuffed

HSS Hire are Cuntz

Last year the forklift broke down involving the crew pushing it, the forks worked, but as it was Sunday their 24 hour help line involved someone telling me there manager has just left they'd be able to help Monday.
And this year they've dropped us off two scaff towers that are incomplete and thus unsafe, ever seen a 4 metre scaff tower wobble.
Wanna climb it holding 2m x 1m, 2 inch thick glass?
Nope
I don't either.

Current mood: WANKERS

7:41PM

There's something very twisted with that dog,
she hates water unless you can smell it,
chases birds but she won't jump in canal's, lakes etc 
but if its a black stagnant pool, filled with rubbish and that kinda sewer-y, sulphur, general badness smell, which can be detected from a fair distance, then you betcha she's straight in up to her pits, 
showering her was fun


everything white in my flat is covered in paw prints.

3:48PM

 Do you know the 'myth'  that women sharing a household start menstruating together, do you think the same sympathetic/emphatic bond happens with friends?
Can't help noticing that most people I know had a very similar quite Christmas and now lots of people I know are all juggling loads of shit, some literally.
Or is it all in the stars?

3:46PM

 Who wants to be me for a few days I could do with the break?


Are dogs allowed on big intercity trains or should I wrap Lenore in day glo and try pass her off as a guide dog, got some friends staying in windermere for the next ten days or so. Being blown round moors and hills, getting rained on a lot on the way to the pub sounds like my kinda break.

After being charged £20 for a £10 overdraft, 30 year old Michael Howard of Leeds changed his name by deed poll to Yorkshire Bank PLC Are Fascist Bastards. The bank has now asked him to close his account, and Mr. Bastards has asked them to repay the 69p balance, by cheque, made out in his new name. (The Guardian)


There must, for instance, be something very strange in a man who , if left a lone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on. (Glasgow Evening News) 

At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a coastguard on the spot and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied that he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff. (Aberdeen Evening Express)

Commenting on a complaint from a Mr.Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West gas said "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr.Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that blew his house to pieces." (Bangkok Post)

Work's a bit slow tonight.
 

12:32PM - We are one.

<a

Well it's only taken us a year and we kinda got our fingers out this time, bands are booked, flyers are printed and being given out, so all we have to do is turn up, drink and dance. Well, at least turn up.

Current mood: ecstatic
