Quote of the day:
"
Amidst all the joking there is just a little sadness which will ultimately, I hope, in the very near future become a little ray of sunshine."

Regardless of the feeling of impending doom that I've had for the past few days (undoubtedly also fuelled by a load of female hormones) the Ray Of Light night went smoothly. I went really well, actually!

The trip down to London was uneventful, the hotel quite acceptable, and all shops were closed! I bought a bucket load of sushi from this new pick & match shop -- excellent! When do we get one of those in the province?!

I texted Kristine and found out that they were planning to go even earlier than me, so I was there in full mess-up by 10 PM.

My worries about not getting into the club due to lack of ticket were completely unfounded as Tommy himself charmingly welcomed me at the door, remembered my name and basically beckoned me in! LOL
We were a small crowd of fans which surprisingly didn't grow bigger. (The rest of the club was well packed however.) The usual suspects did not turn up after all. Haha! legless, I suppose. ;-)
But even Ron was there!

The atmosphere in the club was great, very nice -- and it didn't even get too hot. The music was cheesy pop in one room and punk in the other. Spoilt for choice, really!

George was on at about 1:30 and did 3 songs. I guess the audience was a bit bewildered by his new "Raggaton" style, and the sound wasn't brilliant. But he was gorgeous!! He had these two "dancers" with him on stage who added a lot of movement to the performance (including a lot of X-rated movements).
I didn't take any good pictures after all, but I'll claim others' for mine! LOL
I also couldn't ring Susan to share the live experience with her because I couldn't get any reception in that cave-like club. But Kristine should have recorded the gig.

George did one new song about rent boys entitled The "Czech Is In The Post", haha -- sounds familiar (the title I mean). Very nice.
The first track, "Batty Bwoy" (presumably) sounded familiar from DJ gigs, and the second was "Pon Da Nasty".
If he really releases any of that stuff (which would be great) it will need a fat parental-guidance sticker, LOL!

Most of us stayed on until 4 and then took a night bus back to the centre. I spent ages de-frizzing my hair, as you do, and didn't really get any sleep to speak of.

I did get a chance to say a quick hello to Dusty yesterday, who -- according to my spies -- had already posted a "correction" note on her forum saying she had mixed me up and I seemed OK. Ah, so much love! LOL
I never believed she meant any harm even though she can be quite "impulsive": Calling the auction audience "stinking cunts", for example, is maybe not the best selling strategy! LOL
Whatever, she didn't start it anyway. And as far as Stuey is concerned: He hates everybody, including George. So I'm in good company. xxx

Today after checkout I walked around Oxford Street and Covent Garden, buying makeup and incense and books...
It was a lovely, sunny day and I'm rather melancholy: last night was also the last gig on my current agenda. I don't know what's happening in May. And after Paul's post I have been reminded of the  the sadness amidst the joking.

I'm sick of people (who I've never wasted a thought on) telling me that everything I (apparently) think about them is wrong and that the truth is coincidently just the opposite of what I am thinking.

It seems to be the great new tune:

  • Whatever You Say I Am That's What I'm Not
  • Paula, Michael and Bob -- Everything You Know Is Wrong
  • Whatever You Think Is Probably Completely Wrong

Oh, You don't know anything about me! True, because you never won't tell me anything! So who's fault is that?! LOL
Come on, it can't be that difficult to form an opinion about somebody! Surely somebody gets something right sometime. I'm sure I do, I know some things about some people.

Oh, he's actually a really nice bloke!
Ah, is he? He does a good job in hiding that truth then!
The rule is simple: People who are kind to others are considered nice. Those who are never kind, are not.
