baby, what's in that satchel?

a couple of weeks ago, zoot and i bought the last 2 tickets to the grates gig. i know because i tried to buy 4 and the website would only let me buy 2 because that's all that was available. anyway the gig was just then and it was really really good!

i was a bit wary because they said it would be at a 'secret location' which was only revealed yesterday and there was a fair bit of hype built up about it. but it turned out to be really good! before the gig began they actually served proper food (fish 'n' chips, rice 'n' curry), the drinks were cheap, and there was no support act.

they sang all the good songs from their first album, a few songs from their new one and i think they were even better than the first time i saw them in 2006!!

and as we were leaving we even got a loot bag each, with a lollipop (consumed) and a badge (proudly displayed). gig photos are on zoot's camera so i'll post them when she uploads them.
