WP is being very, very slow uploading my photos and I have to go out (twice in one weekend, I know) so here is what’s worked so far. I will update the slideshow gallery thing when the rest have worked… stay tuned kids, Steve embarrassed me when I met him and only time will tell if that pizza was spiked….
So the tube was okay, and we only got lost once… then a girl dressed as an elf giving out free samples of Costa Coffee’s new white hot chocolate gave us directions.
We also made freinds with some locals.
We were getting bored when some guys went past and said “Would you like some pizza?” We said yes, shared it with some other fans who were queueing and ate it.
… Then got down to the tough business of decorating the box (and by that I mean Hollie let loose.)
When it got dark – actually it never really got light, if you know what I mean – we snuggled up under Hollie’s blanket.
… or danced about to keep warm.
We also decided that it was important to promote Papa Satan’s the pizza company…
“Accepting food from strangers is sometimes a good idea!”
I became The Face of the brand.
In the venue and out of the cold, woo. The Dead Betas had improved on last year.
Then a wierd Australian band called The Red Paintings came on. They get local artists to paint while they play – and they play well. There were elecrical orchestral instruments and a raygun at one point.
After a while MSI happned. Loudly.
With fake phonecalls to the Queen, an explaination of why cutting MSI with other shit is bad…and some slightly inappropriate touching. Mostly on Jimmy’s part.
Here are some pictures that deserve to be seen in full-size from the off:
This is Steve pretending to puke.
The band came out to the floor afterwards and did some signing, and I met Steve after listening him talk to a couple of guys who knew MSI from ages ago. As he was signing my ticket I told him that I made a t-shirt with his name on it for the last show but didn’t wear it because I figured I wouldn’t get to meet him. He looked at me and said “you’re a doody head.” Then he pointed down at me, looked at the other people milling around and said “She’s a doody head.” I laughed awkwardly and shuffled off.
It was like when a teacher laughs at you in class for asking a stupid question.
If you look really, really closely, you can see Lynz.
Hollie’s dog Charlie really liked the merch the next day. (From her Tumblr.)
There was a post-show hangover a bit on the tube home…… for Hollie anyway. Tatch and I were buzzing…Because here’s evidence that I really did embarrass myself in front of Steve!
Anyway enough about the actual show. Today I was telling my friends about meeting Steve and they said I should get “Steve, Righ? Called Mee a Doody Head” on a t-shirt for the next show and I said “I’m wearing that original shirt every show ever”. Then I looked up a jumper I didn’t get to buy at the show and searched “Mindless Self Indulgence merch 2013” and what should come up?
Ah yes, the Internet is shitting on me now too.
The pizza wasn’t spiked by the way – it turns out random strangers being nice can sometimes be… random strangers being nice.
