fatbwoi live @ the cross keys 210511

1x setlist - check 
2x capo, 2x plectrum - check (one of them is blunt)
sneakers (pair) - check
lemonade - check

...well kind of it's on the table... with the set-list 8)

rapture or none, had me a most-excellent time shakin' that thang last night at the cross keys... i reckon we did the apocalypse party in still, and big-love to all the crazy cats who came down...

but back-up a lil' bit, and i had a proper weird moment... 

sipping on my stripe-shandy was i, when a small girl in a lilac dress did approach me and ask "where is the bear?"

proper caught me off-guard that did... (turns out she was the landlord's daughter, and she'd just watched the bullet vid upstairs... and paul had intimated i might bring the bear with me).

but then in a flash (and with a lil' help from joey) i remembered that the bear suffers with 'terrible travel sickness' and won't generally spend 'more than ten minutes in a car' - oh yeah effective counter!!!

i woulda been good if she'd asked about the mermaid, its easy to explain how she got up a tree... but down the motorway - c'mon, she's a mermaid!!!

bear : strength - great dancer, weakness - 'travel sickness'

opened with the chicken (for a shocker), although given the occasion i maybe should opted for '1-800', which i proper enjoyed playing, complete with its added crazy-american-geriatric-predicting-doomsday resonance - right on...

additional air-con provided by stevie - check

its mk, so natural law dictates that i have to play 'back in the day'... although i was distressed to discover that the field, which used to be orchard hall back in the day,  is being redeveloped as a range of luxury 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes - bad times

played me a bit of 'sandman' for paul... i'm a bad dude (sorry paul), and for obvious reasons i was rewarded with a wry shaking of the head... i think paul would prefer it with a bit less swing, and a bit more metallica :P

another rare outing for 'krshna says' too... the apocalyptic vibe of the evening seemed more than fitting, and it went down pretty-darn well (in addition to the usual benefit of bringing you closer to the godhead)...

played newbie 'bite me' too... am seriously loving the bwoi-the-trumpet bit at the end, i feel i may have to this more (natural law)

ended on 'forces' (natural law), and handed control of the 'fate of the world' the girl dancing at the front... fairly confident that this was a good move as there are very few things i can actually be trusted with...

all in a top night, thanks to stevie for inviting me... was a bit 28 days later drivin' up the m1 with the street-lighting off, but it was dark (its only dark in the north in 28 days later) and far too windy... so i figured we were probably safe from the cdc predicted zombie outbreak in the event of the rapture, as when it happens its gonna look far cooler

happy time
