Weekend Rundowns

Friday Primavera Sound - Round 1.
I arrived at 7pm and I spent about an hour in my own watching the Rakes and watching all the cool, trendy, modern kids (if being modern means wearing my mum's old dresses then I prefer to be out of fashion 8O ) I managed to see The Rakes, Barry Adamson, Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, Sr. Chinarro, Tok Tok and Hot Chip. From there everything went really wrong, we spent the rest of the night in the DJ's tent and suddenly the sun was rising over the sea, which was a very hedonistic moment, and all the cool treandy people looked like coming from a war :lol: We literally needed one hour to leave and eventually managed to get home around 8
Saturday Primavera Sound Round 2
Arrived at 7 too and saw The Long Blondes, Architecture in Helsinki, Sonic Youth performing Daydream Nation, Luomo and Wilco and then we moved to the DJ's tent for a couple of hours and managed to get home by 5
The highlights of the festival for me were Architecture in Helsinki, Band of Horses and Wilco.
I was really impresed with the Parc del Forum as a festival venue, there was about 50.000 people in there but never had the sensation of that amount of people, it was pretty well organised (except for the long queus at the toilets) and just 30 minutes from home, so handy :D
I am definitly a Primavera Sound fan now :D

Friday, back home for final arrangements with the wirral chaps for ibiza. Turned into debauchery, watched footy, got into the idea of ibiza 'practice' ;) a little to literally...got NOTHING done or discussed.

Watched rubgy on wirral (oh nooo... i fear for all northern hemisphere in the world cup) then came back to manc for the yearly street party in our road. Really good, really impressed - horses, bunting, loads of kids on a bouncy castle & then it turns out half the road is under 40 and like minded. Really pleased.

Yesterday popped into work, then burnt to the ground festival in manchester northern quarter. REALLY REALLY GOOD. Unabombers then Mr Scruff topped off with Arthur Brown set including fire (what else) - what a perfomer - he dived into the crowd & also made lots of time at the end to chat to the fans of his that were there. Seemed a top top bloke & a gentleman.

this time in six days i will be in Space. :)
 
Good Monday to you all. My weekend:

Friday - Drinks with 2 mates after work on the lovely terrace at Scandinavia restaurant. Got very messy by the time we'd finished our 5th or 6th 2-liter pitcher of beer. Joined by some other friends and made our way to Dyagilev which was hosting the after-party for a music awards show. They kept shining the spotlight at the table where the Pussycat Dolls were sitting :? Still, wonderfully campy evening :lol: Later, a stop by the cafe Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie for a couple more drinks and a bite to eat. The DJ obviously didn't understand what "after hours" means and was blasting some painfully jacking house. :lol:

Saturday - Lazed around the house for a bit then Irina and I went out for dinner with a couple of mates in from London to an Uzbek restaurant & lounge. From there we popped over to Bar 7 and then to club Rai which we pretty much closed out. Some side-project of the Hoxton Whores was headlining (Disco Boys? something like that)

Sunday - Got home, had a couple hours kip and then I rode the white horse 8O 8O :lol:
(we went horseback riding about 25km outside of the city and I got the only white horse :oops: :lol: )
Later, went out to an Azerbaijani place for dinner and did a bit of grocery shopping before passing out completely.
 
Had friends over for dinner Maryland crab cakes with seared and flambeed steak on a bed of yellow,green, and red peppers; smashed potatoes with bacon and onion.
