| Hello again,
Jo Kinghorn here again after a long time, and myself and
Marie are back now for good now we've been paid by the
Silhobbit crew. Well, Marie and I have been looking forward to
this one for a long time after Charlie said we could have a ride on
John Mitchell's boat, Monte Carlo would be nice if you
are reading this John! Well we both had a day off from
our jobs so we could have plenty of time to do our hair and nails
and do lots of shopping before the 'gig', wow, said again, I really
feel like a prog chick now! More women should let go of the
housework, get a babysitter in, and see these great sexy prog hunks
on stage. |

Marie stayed over at my flat on the Thursday
and she turned up with two bottles of Banrock and we had a pizza
too. Marie stuffed a slice in her handbag because we heard that the
piano player John Beck likes pizza. We took the
chillies off because they burn a bit. We got up at 7am, showered,
had some toast, low fat spread because we have to watch our figures
do we eh girls! Got our cases and Marie said she would drive us down
in her black Micra and we have to find that tube station with that
rude word in it, so we call it Willybeer. On the way down we had the
windows down, and our hair was blowing all over the place.
Got to Oxford Street eventually,
and we had a great time shopping. I spent around £300 on 3 pairs of
shoes, 2 tops and a nice belt, while Marie spent £52:21p on various
bits and bobs. |

| We finally got to the Mean Fiddler at 5 to 7,
and there was a massive queue outside at the 'gig', I can say that
again, 'gig'. We saw Vinnie who was at the front, and some
bloke who someone said was in Magenta. One point though, on
Magenta, Marie and I will speak to their singer, she will look much
nicer in a Burberry skirt and a white top, we must become the Trinny
and Susanna of prog I think! |

Managed to get in, and got to the bar. We had
a cider each and we were at the back. Good job our heels were a
little tall, we could see over most people. After the racket of the
first band, most of the blokes went for a wee, so we snook down the
front. Most of the front row all had cameras so I got mine out. It's
only a girlie Olympus but is does the trick. This is the first time
I have taken any photos with my camera at a 'gig' said it again, so
I hope they are ok for you Charlie. |

| Kino came on stage, there were lots of
towels too, bet they sweat a lot. I waved to John Mitchell
and he winked at me, so a boat trip looks good. Not sure of any of
the songs they played, but Vinnie said leave a light on,
people, holding on, perfect tense, plastic
dreamer and I said hang on, are these song titles or are you
hoping to stay the night with us?. Marie put a bit of pizza on the
side of the stage, then some fat bloke nicked it, ba%tard! The piano
player sang about swimming, and when something about a
losers parade was played, I tried to take some photos but Marie
was jumping up and down and her boob kept nudging my arm, so if the
photos are no good, it's her fault. |

They went off stage and come back on again to
do three more. Marie got two more cans of cider, and she fell over
in someone's beer! Good job it wasn't me, but I would have been ok
this time, I was wearing my big Brigitte's from Marks And Sparks.
After the 'gig' said it again, we went to go
backstage, but we got asked to leave, so we ended up in some club
with loads of prog celebs and other people. We both had a great
night, pity we didn't get backstage, and hope we can have a boat
trip soon. |
