I should probably explain this photo of me and some wondrously hairy men. Or maybe it’s more fun not to explain it! Maybe I just like gathering groups of beardies and hugging them. Hmmm, now there’s a thought!
Ok, so I was asked to be the Street Team for Dusty Rhodes and the River Band when they supported Dirty Pretty Things. I must admit to not really having been aware of Dusty but having tried to get tickets for the DPT too late and being upset. So I accepted happily. Anyway I had a great night and spent most of the concert outside getting email addresses for the mailing list and talking to random passers by and the bouncers, then I moved to the merchandise stall and bothered the lovely young guy there (Hi Hughsy! - if that’s how you spell it and if you ever happen to see this!). The band came up and I got to chat to them and loads of folk who had really enjoyed their performance which was cool. They were really lovely guys (and a girl but I didn’t get to speak to her much!) and obviously love what they do, which comes through in the music. They very kindly gave me a free CD and some of them signed it. Was a random but thoroughly enjoyable night, all in all! I do love that feeling of being “with the band” as several people seemed to think I was *smug grin*.
