The party's done, the cake's all gone, the plates are clean.*
and after this past month's relentless to-froing, I have to say I'm bloody knackered.
But then so many people have mentioned how much they enjoyed the gig (and it was incredible if i do say so myself)...that a little fatigue is nothing to moan about.
This was the biggest gig we've done so far and went swimmingly well...
I don't think I've had such a kick looking around at the mass of people one of our shows pulled in since Final Fantasy in October last year. That show had the same sense of satisfaction that comes from watching your best efforts paying off.
as usual there were more than just Rachel and i involved in this one:
Claire Dupree of Narc magazine ran a sweet interview with Okkervil for their November issue...
Jimmy Asquith and Ruth Sleighthome, editors at Newcastle University's Pulp Magazine, made the interview we did with Okkervil their cover story for the week...
Matt Marlow and Katy offered to put the band up in their flat and have my bedroom mattress taking space up there right now.
Scrumpy Willow And The Singing Kettle cafe for driving along a stackload of their incredible Veggie Breakfasts for the band. They also graciously lent us the aforementioned plates.
Minotaurs played a blinder of a support slot.
I'm sure there will be others that I forget. So thanks a ton to everyone involved, and so glad you had as good a time as I did!
I managed to forget to record anything or take any photos. bugger.
SIMON JOYNER @ THE STAR AND SHADOW CINEMA, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 21st:
In other news, we had to turn down a show with Jagjaguwar/Team Love's Simon Joyner recently, but have found out that he's playing the Star And Shadow Cinema on November 21st anyhow. Score!
Simon Joyner fact: John Peel only ever played two records from start to finish on his show, one of which was a Simon Joyner record, the other was Bob Dylan's Desire.
i think its about £5 a ticket, what a bargain!
cheers,
David / Foxes
