Charging into this Excess Month project with aplomb.
Bought tickets to For the Love of Horror on the 18th. Will be meeting David Patrick Kelly of The Crow, The Warriors and Commando. It’s always a great event. There’s a meetup with Manc Mates if anyone wants to be part of a group.
Went to the Journaling group at Hinterland on Wednesday. Writing that up at the moment.
Polished off the Moscatel, Flagship and STR finish versions of Filey Bay, a little sample bottle set of single malts. I also downed the Famous Grouse sample I got in a work Secret Santa a while back and a Jagermeister sample probably from the year before.
You probably heard the news of Radio 2’s Scott Mills being sacked this week. What you probably did not hear was this story written in ‘22 but set in ‘03 featuring Mills, Lord of the Rings and a Welshman.
Watched Apocalypse Now Redux, starring the recently deceased Robert Duvall, plus dope smoking GIs and trippy visuals. To put Ying to Yang, I then endured Jingle All the Way, a film about excessive commercialism, featuring bad acting, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jake Lloyd, the kid who played Darth Vader in Episode One The Force Awakens. Dreadful.
Ran a meetup last night to Mackie Mayor, Manchester’s hipster food court. Great group of new people. I think I’d met one guy before. Everyone got on, first meeting in Stray bar on the corner. We then found a corner upstairs in Mackies, got tasty food from a few different vendors and chatted. I got the steak frites from Tender Cow. Well recommended.
Found Band on the Wall, a live music venue that I’ve been meaning to go to for decades. The Henry Revue Band took to the stage, covering some pop hits in impressive folk style. They don’t seem to have much online presence. Bassist looked like the UFC’s Arnold Allen.
Whole night went well. We got a group chat together on WhatsApp. Hope I see them again. Finished early enough to get the tram back. Now for Northern Quarter tonight…
