Dear Unified Scene,
Very sorry that I did not have time to invite you to the acoustic set in my living room, but it only became possible with almost zero notice. By the time it became a reality, it was midnight and I wanted to watch the band be awesome at Liverpool sound city.
There are loads of people who would have been nailed on to come, but sadly I do not have a lear jet upon standby to cross the atlantic and bring them over - a number of the Van Jura family, JWD, Rich & Polly, Brendan, Heidi, etc spring immediately to mind.
However, once people have recover from hangovers, etc, there will be loads of photos, videos circulated and (above all stories to be told) whenever people gather together and celebrate the awesome redemptive power of rock n roll..
Happy to confirm - as will the videos, photos, etc that the band, management and crew are unutterably kind, warm, talented, professional and generally brilliant.
Sincere and humble thanks again to them.

Howard, you are a complete legend. Thank you so much.
I've got a bunch of photos and videos, I'll post them when I'm not using my phone's 3g.
Incredible experience. Xx

 I confirm this did in fact happen - a proper report follows when I have chance (currently going to all of the rest of the UK gigs this week). Not quite sure why the photo has come out sideways, but you get the idea - if you double click on the photo then it brings out to a bigger size, properly orientated. You'll see Bobby was using my kitchen stool as part of his kit last Saturday - I'm wondering if it might eventually be inducted into some kind of rock n roll hall of fame. At very least it should find its' way to a Hard Rock Cafe I guess. Just to reiterate (it can't be said enough times) - this was a very special day and the band/crew are incredible. The gigs I've seen this week have seen me run out of superlatives - they are on brilliant form. |

I did not know the rabbit ears were originally form chez rich & polly - I found them in one one of my kitchen cupboards where Bobby had apparently suggested they be left.
I have heard so many awesome stories - wish I'd seen Eric's milk crate mosh single properly; I was aware it was being signed but even Tad was saying it was a long time since he'd seen that.

I watched those two videos and got all teary... I really don't know how any future event could ever top that. My life is complete at 20.
