Tonight Jane almost had me in tears. We were listening to Electric Landlady and Jane said: “Oh, I’d forgotten Kirsty MacColl was dead. I was just thinking it was about time for another album”. I’d erased that fact.. Most upsetting.
Anyway… yesterday afternoon I was at Linux Expo at Olympia in London. Mostly dull and very quiet. They had someone walking around in a giraffe costume. I can only assume the hire shop ran out of penguin outfits and substituted something they thought would be alright. But hey, I got to catch up with Dave and see what he’s up to.
In the evening I caught up with Jane and the New Scientist folk for some beers and then we headed off to Akbar to Suran’s pre-show party for anjali. Drank too much, way too much passive smoking, but we had fun.
