krabbypatty. I hope you have a good day <3
The wedding was a lot of fun on Saturday, though when we arrived we nearly ended up crashing another wedding party when we saw people watching a bride and groom get their pictures taken, went to look, and it wasn't Sharren and Nick. We did find them eventually though. The party was held at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland AFC's ground. Getting to the actual room they'd booked involved a lot of stairs and wandering. Which meant I wasn't at all impressed when I found out there was a lift straight down when we came out.
They'd hired a live band -- Loudmouth -- for part of the entertainment, and they lived up to their name, they were loud. Also, very awesome. They class themselves in the punk rock genre and it was so much fun watching them, though my ears were ringing at the end as all the table were really close to where they'd set up. They'd let the bride's teenage son play bass on one song, and it's surprising how noticeable not-so-good bass playing can be. He had a blast, though, and at the end of the evening left with signed CDs for him and his friend.
What I also liked about the party was the people. James knows Sharren from the school for the disabled they both used to attend, and Nick is part of the alternative scene, so the mix was cool. There was one guy who reminded me so strongly of Joey, with an awesome dyed beard and hair and so many beautiful tattoos, one woman had an amazing sleeve. I was very impressed.
We didn't stay that late as Corey was bored out of his skull, but before I left I'd had a nice chat with James' old art teacher and enjoyed good music, and yeah. It was a lovely night. But man, the drinks prices. Ouch. It cost more for two cokes and a larger than it would for a full meal for us all elsewhere.
I'm very amused at the beard debate going on at Frank's twitter picture. People hate the beard, they love the beard. Screw the waistcoat, the beard is where it's at.
I seem to have lost the ability to write anything short /o\
I readsinsense's Thing-Thing yesterday and loved it, my favourite part by far was the Way brother interaction, but I enjoyed it all, even though some parts hurt to read. I have so many stories listed to read right now, including mahoni's epic story The Uncharted Sea. It looks so good!
