I think I might not see Sonic Boom tonight. What's wrong with me?

ray!

Ah, and it was good and LOUD, too!

Support bands were excellent. Hypnotique, who was this sexy chiX0r with a backing tape and a saxophone and a theremin singing strange lounge songs about odd subjects. Cotton and Mcsomething (?) who were Hawkwind-style spacerock/psychedelia with a hippie flute player and a wacky Japanese chiX0r on theremin. Good fun.

And then Professor Boom came on and demonstrated his Wubulators for an hour. Synthies and Putneys all over a table, back to the audience, pure drone, pure WUBWUBWUWB with pretty textures and scintillating bits and loveliness indeed. I was glad to be sitting down, though.

Spiffo. :-)

I'm glad you went Kate, not only coz you liked it, but coz if you hadn't you would spend the ensuing weeks (months?) wondering what it would've been like and cursing yrself for not going.

wubwubwub

Kate, why is it a problem that you can't find anyone to join you? Do you never go out to gigs alone?

I used to go to gigs alone all the time, in fact, it used to be my preferred way of gig-going.

The main reason that I wanted someone to go with me was more for backup, in case Joe or any of that gang were there. I don't mind going to gigs by myself, but I don't like being in awkward social situations by myself.

And actually, I probably wouldn't have been wondering what it was like. I've seen Sonic so many times I know what his shows are going to be like, usually. That's not an insult. I mean, you don't go to a Beethoven recital and wonder what it's going to be like, do you? I knew it would be good.

I nearly went to that concert, for I was in London on Monday. But I didn't go because I was *tired*.

Vicar-Dude, SB gigs are *great* for when you're tired. I was exhausted, but I sat down and let the wub wash over me. :-)
