Last night..



I walked into the pub and Waynes World was playing on the projector screen. Good start.

You came out glammed up and didn't disappoint. You all smelled and looked wonderful and delicious, and ate all the cake and bought cds and t shirts.
I wore myself thin, but managed to channel Queen of Uncool in order to perform the songs to the awesome ability you were expecting.
I really enjoyed starting with some oldies, as much as I did inviting a full band up to play the second half with me. The EP in its full glory.

I may have spent awhile talking. A lot. You know how sometimes you make a phonecall and get the answering machine, and you leave a long rambling message, maybe going off topic a bit, and then wish you hadn't left one at all. This was me in between songs. I blame lack of sleep.

There was more I wanted to say though, that I did not get the opportunity to. I wanted to tell you what the EP was about, directly, as well as in the grand scheme of things. By that point though (just before we performed 'winter') the pub had accumulated a number of stragglers (I had released the door lady to run riot with cake) who were making a level of noise loud enough to disable me from discussing such subjects with the delicacy required. So I didn't. But trust that there is enough purpose behind the concept of the EP and enough meaning in the music to sum up a few months of my life with some accuracy, and that I hope it goes on, spreads out, and heals. Then it will have achieved its purpose.
