....er anyone seen or heard from JJ?

I can find out, last I knew he was staying in St.Albans with my mate Chris after the Elder gig

Taking a much needed/deserved break after Roadburn I imagine.

Yeah, sorry. I meant to get a post up last night. Got to Elder with no further hindrances and spent yesterday in St Albans hanging out with Chris from Trippy Wicked, seeing the sights and pubs, which are low-ceilinged and awesome. Was a good time. Today I head to the hotel in Camden and apart from some record shopping, my plan is to basically sit and do some writing to catch up on a few things, review that Elder show, Wino Weds, etc.

Did you buy us anything?

ha ha nice one, you should try some northern ale my friend! glad to see you back and see you at the bar, mines a newky brown.

Still not drinking, but yeah, hard to argue with Newcastle, which I'd love to call Newky, but feel like I'm not allowed because I'm not British.

Bah, it's often the least-worst, but that's about the best thing I can say about it.

No, you should ask for a Newky Brown (or even better, "a bottle of Dog", though I doubt many landlords in London would know what you were on about); far less jarring than when Americans refer to it as "a Newcastle".



Gah, you live in Stockton, you should be drinking a proper ale like Camerons, not that fucking chemical soup. Fuck Newcastle, it may have given us Venom but it also gave us Sting.

See you both down the front (and at the bar).

a pint of black sheep rather! though have you seen the prices in the black heart, well steep! Aye see you at the front.

WE CALLED ALL THE HOSPITALS BUT YOU WEREN'T IN ANY OF THEM!
