A quite odd evening....

The boring stuff first: there were five of us (Ian, Tod, Dan, John and Charlie), it went very well, lots of confirmations of gigs. Blah blah.

Here's the odd stuff. First, it appeared that Tod had been studying Shed 3b's Feng Shui, and most of the amps had been rearranged by the time we all got in. Second, Ian had been down to cymbals'r'us and cleared out the whole stock.

Next, it appeared that Tod, while studying Feng Shui, had stumbled into a Morris Dancing club; in the end, it was nothing more than another set of pedals that were making him skip round the floor daintily.

Next up was a rather bizarre conversation between two Old Gits of a certain similar age as to why we spend longer at the urinal (or scrap skip, in this case) than youngsters do; and why blue jeans are a no-no (the same reason).

The evening finished with the inaugural meeting of HAKHAC, which is the Hinton Ampner Kate Humble Appreciation Club. This came about after a discussion about 'Lambing Live' on the BBC ("Oh no! Blood! Quick, go to 'technical fault screen'!!!"). And we all agreed that Ms Humble is enormously wholesome, pretty and yummy, and we'd all very much like to give her a big hug. Or something like that. Oh, and that Julia Bradbury isn't quite in the same class.






Several variations of 'giving her a big hug' were discussed, one particularly bizarre one (prompting further clubs to be formed, like the KHAKC, the KHALS and TKHTABAWHFH)turned out to be the cue for everyone to stop drinking lager and go home.

Anyway, the music rehearsal went very well indeed.
