It’s been a busy couple of weeks with lots of fun outings to things like London Irish giving Bath a beating, and seeing two gigs!

First up was Athlete’s visit to Colston Hall. I’ve never been to Colston Hall, and I don’t really think I’ll go back. First off I brought some beer, then I tried to go and sit down, but you can’t take beer into the hall :( Then when we do get inside the seat is 2.75 times too small for my ass. It wasn’t going well, the first support didn’t make it any better (but not any worse either), but the second support was really bad, including (among others): a drummer who only used 3 drums, a lead guitarist who played about 3 notes a minute and a roadie who spent more time on the stage than off during the per-song guitar changes.

Anyways eventually Athlete came on, they were far too loud, a little boring, but the light show was nice :)

Last night I went to see Nada Surf at the Fleece. It’s been ages since I’ve been there, but it didn’t take me long (with the extortionate beer prices) to remember it. The gig was pretty good, even if the support’s sound equipment sounded like it was going to explode through most of his songs!
