Don't Hurt Me Arch, I'm ONLY Little!

A pretty awesome weekend. Matt's birthday on Friday and hanging out with Sally whom I haven't seen for ages but felt like a month ago. Watched Asshole Parade in Camden and the got back to Guildford for drinks and a friend's big news.





Got up late on Saturday and cleared some paperwork that was gonna need to be done later in the week. Watched Lock Stock and the Snatch with housemates who were having a Guy Ritchie film weekend and ate good food. Worked out the drum map for garageband and recorded some demo ideas for NRWS.







Went to TGI Friday's for the first time on Sunday for lunch with housemates which was ok. No Bodeans but ok. It all tastes a bit sweet in there. Watched Rock N' Rolla and Layercake, played Trials HD which is TOO addictive and had some chocolate cake.







Worked for a bit yesterday, watched Casino Royale, did some band stuff and then went out for a drink to finish off the long weekend. Good times! Am glad I didn't go to Reading Festival.

Hold On

Roky Horror Show

Went to see Roky Erikson tonight and it wasn't that great. Granted,
I'm not too familiar with his entire back catalogue, however, it did
make me think of the band Cry Wolf that I would see at my old local,
years ago, in Brentford. They should have supported.

Matt was impressed
