The Dykeenies ;; Feels Like Sleep |
] |
Today's certainly been interesting. x) I went to Glasgow pretty late in the afternoon, to stalk The Dykeeniesjust for the sheer sake of it. The weather was pretty awful, but awell. I bought the Knights of Cydonia vinyl (yes, I actually found it in Virgin XD) and the Dykeenies' Waiting for Go EP, since even though I pre-ordered it I got too impatient to wait on it (I wanted it here by today and it didn't arrive ¬_¬). Oh well. It can get chucked in with someone's Christmas present when it does :P
So, I went up Sauchiehall Street, for some reason incredibly jittery about getting up to the Garage. x_x It was pissing it down with rain... Got up there and there was no real sign of life (except two random weirdos standing outside the venue to get shelter), I sent a text to Kim and she phoned me. She said she'd have come to Dykeenies if she could but she was having visitors tonight. Ffs. When she got off the phone I thought "oh, fuck it" and walked back up, keeping my eyes peeled. I saw this little van stop near the ABC and it looked suspicious, so I slowed down and saw this band get out, they were so obviously a band because of the way they were dressed and their presence and attitude (and swaggers). It was amusing. Skinflints were playing at ABC2, so...
Anyway, I continued walking, and so I was just standing beside this bin having a look around, and across the road I saw two guys in tight jeans. I realised that the pretty boy in the stripey green zipper was none other than Brian fucking Henderson, and that yes, it was him because the guy beside him was one of the guitarists, Steven. Cue me having a bit of a heart attack. I stood still for a moment watching, then... I followed them. Yes, I am a fucking stalker. x) They went into Boots, and so did I :P Then I lost them so I came and stood outside and leant against a tree and texted people so as to look inconspicuous. A few moments later they followed and they walked past me, and went into Primark. So I decided to continue waiting. A few minutes later I went in but couldn't see them, so came back out and continued to loiter whilst texting people and informing them of my stalkerishness. Maysie told me to have a go at Brian for removing me from The Dykeenies' top friends on MySpace, lmao. Seriously, I stood there for over an hour waiting for them and they didn't reappear. Hmmm. It was hilarious though, because there was this guy (who was the spitting image of Dave from The Zutons) who'd been loitering for about the same length of time as myself, looking intently at Primark like me, and kept looking at me strangely. I was convinced he was waiting on Brian. x) Eventually I realised I was being ridiculous and gave up hope. Went to McDonald's for something to eat, then just pissed around for a few hours, because I didn't want to go up to the venue too early. I spent most of that time on the phone to hullabalo_o, and managing to spot a hilarious Faris Rotter lookalike (or rather, a wannabe) and some Klaxons wannabes. Not even joking. And I spilt hot chocolate all down myself. Maysie: Oh no, now you're looking a mess for Brian! LOOLLLLZ.
Got there some point after 8pm... ( The Dykeenies, Glasgow Garage, 2/12/06 )
I am going to have to edit that so heavily before I put it on MySpace, y/n? ::Kat:: xx ♥
