There are several gigs on tonight. The i hearts are on early at 8.15 at the Metro. I'm considering crossing the road to the 12 Bar afterwards and seeing Rosie & the Goldbug who I haven't seen for ages. They say they are playing at 8.30. If that's true they will have finished by I get there as the i hearts start a little late and don't finish till 9.00 - so I don't bother.
At 8pm it's eerily quiet in the Metro, I think the only other people around are in other bands, but by the band start at 8.30 a few people have slipped in. Its not exactly packed but not empty. It's quite exciting standing outside with the band (who are smoking); we a number of interesting people. First Chris (guitar) sees his cousin who is passing on her way to see someone play at the Astoria. Then we see someone from a band I saw at Wakestock who wears a fur hat and is a black bloke. After the gig we are standing in the street again and I am told the whole of McFly are walking past down Oxford Street, of course I don't recognise them
