Bloody good show, old bean


So, last night when I was, as the French would have it, mortalez, the above seemed like the most amazing piece of photographic genius ever. Apologies to everyone who was forced to look at my phone and listen to me going 'see, it's not him, it's his shadow... cool or what?!'

Seriously though, cool or what?!

The Maximo Park concert last night was just one step above fantastic. I don't think I have ever seen anyone so very visibly enjoying themselves on a stage as much as Paul was. A stranger standing behind me said 'God, I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like, to be up there'. Too true, stranger man. Although I have experience in wanting something pretty modest, going for it, getting it, and being delighted, I have absolutely no experience in wanting something pretty amazing, going for it, working really hard and then getting it. I had a little tear in my eye.

It doesn't matter how big you get though, a bit of constructive criticism is always useful. Paul, Susie and I agree, less clingy pants next time please. I mean, howez!

So I guess I'm not quite as unique as I imagined!Flickr it! Did you take any more. I got very drunk and took a smashing shot of a pile of stranger's sick later on the same evening. Oddly, I didn't like that picture so much the next morning.
