Obviously I will be there, but it is quite likely that I shall end up not actually partaking in drinking action with anyone I don't actually know.
(should explain, btw, that Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura and the Trash Can Sinatras, possibly my three favouritest bands in the world, are playing a free gig in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow)

Isn't the Tap actually quite a long way from Gray Street? OK, so Gray Street is near Dumbarton Road, which is where the Tap is, but according to this the postcode is G14 0HH, which puts it a long way up the road....at least a bus ride away.
I went into the Oxford Blackwell today and they didn't have a Glasgow A-Z even tho they had about 6 copies of the Aberdeen one :(. Whilst multimap is good, it's not that good and you can't carry it with you.

Also, the Herald diary today suggested that "cynical types" have creatively come up with the nickname Twee in the Park. I'm not cynical. And I thought of it first. And someone is making T-shirts. Be afraid.

Apologies for absence received from Lara.
Hurrah (for the whole thing, not for Lara's non-attendance)! Much fun and Big Brother watching was had by all. Some other stuff happened on Saturday, but I missed most of it by being in the pub watching my fantasy football league go down the tubes.

People sat in the sun and drank booze and the police didn't care, and best of all the portaloos weren't smelly.
Belle and Sebastian played some songs which included I Fought In A War, Judy and the Dream of Horses, The Boy with the Arab Strap, Dog on Wheels, Jonathan David, The Model, Lazy Line Painter Jane (with Monica in a pair of horrible green socks), Love on the March, I'm a Cuckoo, Step Into My Office Baby and Sleep the Clock Around. They were very good. I didn't see anyone off here in the park except Cozen who was the only person I didn't think would be there. Damn the football and a park full of people for meaning me and the mister ended up sitting on our own. People then went to the Winchester Club and Gav played "I Could Be So Good For You" and Cook played Beyonce. It were top fun. I'm not convinced by Pipas though everyone else I know seems to think they're great.
Cathy's non-stop dancing skillz are awesome, btw. I, on the other hand, was knackered after about two songs, though I did shake my thang to Strawberry Switchblade.
Apologies for being an antisocial git to all and sundry on Saturday night, but I was uber-knackered and had a lovely comfy seat right in front of the electric fans.

Camera Obscura were hot and fresh.
The Trashcan Sinatras were a bit eggy. Eddi's brother had that crumpled romantic look down, but the bassist looked like Uncle of Frankenstein and the drummer was surely the Cowdenbeath manager? Flanked by two health and safety inspector guitarists. The songs were a bit dreary too. One for the fans.
Belle & Sebastian were great, but Murdoch is surely more of a prat than he used to be? At first I thought wee Patrick had wangled his way on stage, but then I remembered it was his dad Stevie Jackson. I cried a bit but no one saw.

I was also rather rattled by the fact that the sets were of such disproportionate length - Camera Obscura were so great and should have been allowed to play for much longer - there was no Eighties Fan, which was disappointing.
Also, V Twin = the Scottish INXS.
I was a *bit* antisocial in the Winchester Club - sorry to anyone I didn't speak to. It was very hot in therre, so I only stirred from my seat for short periods of time. I too was impressed by Cathy's non-stop dancing - where does she find the energy?
