One perfect day Its funny, isnt it? How sometimes even the best laid plans can go awry? That describes yesterday. Nothing went to plan - from what I was going to wear to who I was going to go with and definitely what I was going to do beforehand. Absolutely nothing. Somehow, it ended up being one of the best days Ive had, certainly in quite some time, if not ever. How was the gig? Complete and utter madness. I say that with a smile on my face, purely because no one got hurt. There was a stage invasion and a couple of fights nearly broke out. Surprisingly, I wasnt involved in either of them (although it coulda come close with the fights.) The one thing that rings through my head today is where were security? Because before throwing the trouble makers out, they did sweet f.a. They didnt pull them off stage - a friend of the band did and they certainly didnt stop the near scuffle (which actually would have prevented the stage invasion because surprise, surprise, it was the same girls. Yes, girls and young ones too. They showed up drunk and late and just wanted to be noticed by everyone. They certainly got their wish. You girls were idiots. So, how then, despite all this, was it perfect ? Well, Daryl and band are professionals and bloody good at what they do. I also had a bunch of people I like being around in the room. That makes a difference. Chuck a couple of people in the room that I love and its all good. It was one of my friends first pub gigs - he only recently turned 18. His only drink was water. It was all I had, not knowing that he was going to be there. Afterwards we all went out for pizza, which was lovely. I think that may have been just as good as the gig, actually. My drum teacher was also there, so I better get off my lazy arse and make my way to my drum kit now. It all ended in me driving home, grinning to myself at the weekend that Ive had and thinking yep, Ive got it made and as I sit here listening to Bruce Springsteen and nursing a cup of tea I couldnt be more sure of that.
