Friday 10 October - Ah ha, here comes the weekend, and tonight we are off to The Roman Bath to watch The Penetrators. No, not a punk band, rather a classic rock covers band covering songs from the '60s to the '00s. But I recognise these chaps setting up their equipment and the chalk board tells the story, it's The Mojos, again! Apparently one of the members of The Penetrators had a sudden family illness and they had to cancel at the last moment so Dave, Andy, Jon, Phil and Mark stepped up to the... mark (sorry). I wasn't bothered, I really like The Mojos anyway and one of our party was a self-confessed Mojo virgin, so he was in for a great night too.
The Bath got very crowded during the evening and at one point it looked as though we might be crushed when a kebab smelling drunk tried dancing and nearly fell over. Actually, he did fall over later in the evening, falling into the area where the band were playing and narrowly avoiding disaster. We had a brilliant night, with great music and then spent a long while hanging around on the pavement outside, putting the world to rights. I finally crawled into bed at 01:15. Oh my head.
Now. You may be wondering what all this junk is that's started appearing on the right-hand side of my blog. LibraryThing is a social website for recording the books you own. Listal is a similar site covering a variety of media; books, music, movies etc. I'm using these sites to record the books and music that I own. Why? Well, if my house burns down, assuming I'm not in it at the time, I can reconstruct my library and my music collection. Plus it gives friends the opportunity to see what I have in case they want to borrow stuff. Both of these are work-in-progress, I have over 400 CDs, so you'll have to wait a while to see the complete collection. Watch this space.
