i went to a gig last night and it was brilliant

happy may - better yet, happy summer :)

charlie don't surf and ten past seven played in the quad last night and it was the best gig i've been to in ages. both bands were in a fabulous mood - just having fun and rocking out - they didn't seem worried about anything. the energy they put into their music was palpable - it filled the pub like a haze of excitement, like the potential of a lightening storm, and built until the last note was played.
unfortunately it will be the last gig they play for a while. colm (of charlie don't surf) is moving to italy in june and they probably won't be playing between now and then. i don't know what the deal with ten past seven is, but they said this was it for a while.

it's great being home - getting to see people i know again, going out to gigs and having a good time and stuff. but one of the best things is being at 52degrees north. the evenings are so long in this counrty. it was something i really missed travelling (christchurch is only at 43degrees). it's amazing to be able to look out my window at 9pm and still have so much light playing across the sky. yea - this country has a lot going for it.
