Thanks!
Nothing crazy, just spent time with family. Not that bothered about birthdays these days, but I'm now on a countdown to a big one, so should make an effort next year.
I have a mid-week weekend coming up this week - off to see Mercury Rev in Glasgow on Wednesday night. That can be my birthday treat..

As mentioned in the weather thread, Spain is still in shock over what happened in Valencia last week and the King, regional leader and PM were lucky to get out alive yesterday when they visited the affected area, with angry mobs (and a few VOX agitators) chasing/attacking official cars.
You can get too absorbed in these news stories and my girlfriend eventually just ordered me to get off the internet! It was good to get away from all the doomscrolling tbh. Handy also that I was invited on to a podcast in town to join this panel with various people talking about music scenes and subcultures around the country, so that was good fun on Saturday. I think they were all heading to see DJ Stingray at Razz after so god knows what state they all got into.
it was still hard to switch off though and avoid the news when everybody's talking about it. And then there's the US too of course. Hoping the Yanks do the right thing tomorrow... a return to fascism is the last thing anyone needs right now. Hopefully the fat rapist twat gets what's coming.

Not posted in a while, hope everyone is well.
We have a house full of 15/16 year olds tonight, I have a headache already.
Next Sunday I am off to China for work for a week, has anyone ever been? Any tips?

We went for our honeymoon but it was 18yrs ago. Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Whereabouts are you staying?

Flying into Shanghai and then travelling to Hangzhou . Not much room for seeing any sights, 4 factories to visit in 4 days.

Do a bit of research around how to pay for things, visa/mastercard can be a bit tricky outside of big cities. WeChat and I think Alipay are pretty much everywhere

I’ll have the company Mastercard on me and cash. Didn’t even think about this!

Worth having something extra set up on your phone where possible. It can really vary between places so my other half tells me

Had a very good lunch yesterday at a local restaurant with 2 loved ones. Away from the centre of BCN you can still get a high quality menu del dia for 18€ (incl a large entrecot) on a Sunday (!)
*egg in carbonara is a total no-no however

It's only Monday but I'm getting excited about seeing Khruangbin in Glasgow on Friday. Will be my first time in the Hydro, or any venue of that size.

Saw Khruangbin a couple of years back and it was my gig of the year. Much better live than on record. Loads of good videos on YouTube.
Not heard of the Necks. Will have a look
