If Adam Virgo is playing, point at him and laugh. He's rubbish (see also Alan Thomson).

Alisa, ooer, I remember Nakamura from my days in Japan. Glad to hear he is doing well. (Surprised to see that Nakata retired by the way.)

We're better than this, though.

I wonder if Mike and Pam fancied each other. If so, I am going to tell Ava one day.

Keith, we were at the top of the Most Frequent Posters list. It had nothing to do with being fancied, although I think, as a side effect, it made us more attractive, and continues to do so.

Though we were at the top of the frequent posters list too.

hysterical naked,

dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry

fix,

angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the

starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the

supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of

cities contemplating jazz

"Hey folks,

As some of you know, I'm heading off to Peru in October to do an i-to-i project ( this: http://snipurl.com/kateperu )and to fundraise for it I'm organising a gig in the 13th Note next Thursday - 13th July. Nice and easy to remember!

There will be 4 smashing bands playing for a bargain 3 bucks:

Miss The Occupier:

"The songs blast Sister-era Sonic Youth through ace girl group melodies... it's basically off centre pop music with sharp, muscular angles. And it's sexy as ---- to boot" says Stewart Gardiner in Plan B magazine. He's not wrong! Frankly, they rock.

After Christmas:

Self -described as "like Grandaddy if they sounded a bit more like Modest Mouse having a fight with The Flaming Lips at a Midlake party", which is pretty accurate except that it doesn't quite convey just how much fun they are. All the "more fun than.." examples I can come up with are falling short too; you'll just have to come along to see for yourself.

Evan Crichton:

Shy Evan (of the Wendy House collective) doesn't have any good quotes I can nick off his Myspace page, except all the comments people have left saying "I was at your gig last night and you were bloody brilliant", and so forth. He's been wowing crowds in Edinburgh and Aberdeen in the last couple of weeks, now it's Glasgow's turn again!

Older and Faraway:

The new project of former Mogwai and Zephyrs cellist Caroline Gardner, Older and Faraway will be treating us to their dreamy country tinged indie rock.

I'm just glad we're getting all the shit games out of the way *before* the season starts this time round...

Is anyone else going?

There was a huge Celtic support. On the Metro there were tons of people wearing the Green and White jerseys, and their numbers only increaded within the stadium. Definitely more people sprorting Scottish attire than DC. Is there a large population of Scots in DC that I didn't know about? Or were these Europhilic poseurs?

There was a lady and son on the Metro on the way back and they were very upset. The lady was cursing and saying how humilating the experience had been! She was a real Scot.

For the record, I think about 3 of DC's best players were also not on the field, and by the end of the game, all of DC was the reserve team.

Sorry to be competitive, but I thought that Celtic would kind of rule over DC, but I don't know that much about football. I just assumed that American football was in a different class than Euro-foot.

The lady was cursing and saying how humilating the experience had been! She was a real Scot.

Obviously not a real Celtic supporter though or she'd realise pre-season friendlies mean bugger all in real terms. And if she wants proper humiliation she should cast her mind back to this time last year.

Is there a large population of Scots in DC that I didn't know about?

I would suggest more likely to be Irish-American.

In other Glasgow news, I went to see Stew's band last night and missed them as they'd just come off stage when I got there. Oh well. I'm sure they were very good.

Just say no to pink cider, kids. It's not good for you.

Does Edinburgh have a good football team?
