So last time I spent ages tryna figure out how to add photos... Well I figured it out!! Not only that, but I've also mastered teh art of adding video!!
Amazing, I know... I am truly just amazing!! Worthy of a sturdy all resounding Yes I am!!
Anyway.. here' s a video taken by the fabulous @jumpinsounds at a show I did once upon a time, at Proud Gallery, Camden....
So weekend past, I fast up myself to try and out do my Super-Female-Extrondare-ity and accomplish way too much in the space of 12 hours. Now when you read the list, yes a list, as I have decided I won't bore you with intricate detail and account of every salty drop of perspiration that dripped from my brow... No!! I'm afraid it's a list you're getting... chronological though... so that may help you to visualise the dramatics of the day!!
Lets begin!
10.15... ooh I'm hungry, let's make pancakes! yum!!
11.00... Let me try on the custom made dress to make sure the amendments I asked for have been done correctly. Try on dress, Major fail!!
11.10... Freak out!!
11.30 ... Get to tailor's for major last minute re-design!
12.30... leave with dress satisfied :)
13.30... realise I'm running late for good friends wedding... and FREAK OUT!!
14.14... make way to Wedding ceremony with sis. Get there **phew!
16.05 ... Take a a couple " I woz 'ere snaps with le bride et le groom! and head off for a looong ass trek to Rickmansworth! Rickmansworth?? I see you squint! Yes there's a place of such name.. and it's bloody far away! Took me ages to get there .. but it was all for a good cause! It's an amazing organisation - http://www.stlukes-hospice.org/ so check em out!!
And then I did a show with the Amazing Krupa!! http://www.facebook.com/krupathesinger yes, another link.. but what if you wanted to know and I hadn't put it up there, you'd be pissed!
I ought to continue this time line of the non bookface kind, but I just can't be bothered! So instead, Here's Krupa, Nilani, Jemma Darkheart and Myself just after we're done and before Nilani's about to go on and awe the crowd!
One last thing though.... here's what happened to me at Rickmansworth station on the way back home...
After waiting 30minutes for a train, metropolitan line at that... the platform attendant comes out her booth and utters the following: "hi everyone.. the next train is in 20minutes. The last train was cancelled, but I couldn't make an announcement... because...... The neighbours complain!!" hahahaha!! But it's not a joke!! That is what she actually said!!
If you don't want noise... then don't move next to an freaking train station Mo'fozzies!! Acting as if you didn't realise the arch you live next to ain't for trains of all types to go over... Stoopid folks, I just can't stand them!!
A little irritated at first.. For like the first 10minutes, then I thought... surely, you wrote these songs,, you've got to remember them... and if you can't then they were obviously just not worth keeping! And so begins a weekend of re-creativity ... Interesting I must admit.
So far I've recalled about 60% of the material.. of which 20% is missing considerable fragments, and then , and here's the really exciting part (ok, maybe not thaaaat exciting)... I've written what... 3 new piece ( well, 1 full, 1 skeletal with a little bit of meat and the other, just a riff...) Not bad going for a chic who kinda wanted to believe all was lost!!
Now all I have to do is lay the tracks down and get all o y'all to buy it and I'll be minted!! Although... If you just listen appreciate and spread.. I'll be equally happy - not as wealthy but nevertheless happy! :)
