I’ll be one of the two baldheads playing terrible music downstairs at the Lexington from 4 if you want to say hello (please do).

I'm at static shock weekend at the moment, will probably get to Lexington about 8. I'll be the tall guy with glasses wearing a Confuse t-shirt

Excellent to meet you CP; sorry if I was drunkenly talking rubbish. Sorry also that you couldn't make it, Maura.
That was a fun weekend - Softies, Would-be-goods and Numberz being particular highlights for me.

It was great to meet you too, Tim. Did the Softies play much longer after I left (was during The Best Days iirc)? They had just played my favourite song by them (Goodbye) so I wasn't completely gutted to have to leave before the end but it's my fault really, I'd debated just getting a hotel for the weekend but figured a return train ticket was £23.70 and there was no way I'd get a hotel for that.
I was indeed at the Lexington when Geeta was there/Lou Reed died - I'd been at an afternoon gig upstairs that day - do remember meeting you Koogs, don't think we talked much though?
That was the first time I'd seen the Would-Be-Goods in about 14 years, I'd seen them supporting the Aislers Set in I think 2003? It was a good set though.
