Not.

HP tried REALLY hard to fuck up what could have been such a nice show. HP should stick to making shitty printers. The event was mismanaged. Nothing quite as bad as I am making it out to be, but it certainly could have been better.

I got there around 6:30 and met up with a friend. They let us in without much hassle and the generous Trendcrusher Pete accidentally gave us four tickets instead of two. Sadly, we had to return these out of decency.

So we went around the place checking things out, meeting people, breaking HP computers and stuff, waiting for the show to start. They had this really nice painting kiosk thingy for little children, who weren’t even allowed in. They had four crappy HP computers running Need for Speed Carbon on them. Good game, but shitty computers.

I don’t know what happened during the time I was getting some B/W film from Salaam stores, but when I got back, they had some lame comedian clown on stage. “Irra rwerre ougam firrim Scotland” was all I could hear. Seriously. Scottish pub sideshow comedians can not make a sober audience laugh. On top of that, he was filled with random borrowed clichéd material. What a sorry sod.

Laugh at him!

Jan 26

I saw Germans eating raw beef at a restaurant. And I discovered comments were broken in my Wordpress theme (thanks to roosh for bringing that to my attention). Well, comments are now fixed. Comment all you like.

So the Ampulance got indefinitely postponed. And my Friday was pretty much wasted, except for a massive meatfest in the evening. In the space of a few hours, I tasted more kinds of meat than I can count. Australian lamb stands out as the finest red meat, while Duck was wonderful too. Turkey is just overgrown chicken. The desserts were awesome, but I didn’t have much room left in me. I would have brought that chocolate fountain home with me if it were possible.

I still wish the gig hadn’t been cancelled.
