It happens to the best of us.

Though I rather enjoyed pile driving a PCP loving HOB bouncer in the head and throwing all the dregs left along the rail on him as he dragged me out. The titty twister he gave me, not so much. Luckily I had a do over a coupla' nights later and didn't revisit that moment of clarity.

Sorry to hear this, mctoon. Hard times we're living through.

I like when random things happen like that.
It was a good night for sure.

Thetford Forest tickets arrived. Here we go...

...and right on cue my transport arrangements have begun to unravel. Here we do again one more time...

I am expecting snow, forest fires, plague and pestilence.

I was, first time seeing them outdoor and on a big far away stage like that but they did not disappoint. Very good, high energy show. Crowd was well up for it (the all day drinking in the sun playing it's part I'm sure) and Shane was in good form.

Started with Streams, finished with The Irish Rover. No failytale and no Thousands are Sailing.

All in all a great day/night/show.

Here are some photos from Bologna (Rock in Idro festival):

Looks like the Pogues stay loyal to darkness on stage.

Thanks, Z. That trademark darkness at the midst of stage.
