Gig 90, 91

Just to keep the count up to date. Gig 90 was an odd one at Heresy, at Jekyl and Hyde's Edinburgh. A spooky goth / scooby doo pub where the toilets are hidden behind a book case - this might be novel for a visitor but I realy pitied the staff who have to direct people every 3 minutes. Anyway, heresy is billed as an anything goes, no taboos night. But when we arrived there were 2 couples in and they were both over 40. Still it filled up a bit, or due to the impractical shape and all the pillars it looked full, in that wherever you looked someone was sitting, but if you stepped to one side you saw the acres of empty space. 91 was my compere duty at the chilli and 92 was back at cool fun in durham, where I tried to keep my spanish accent through the trousers song and keep it up while I did some stand up and dangerous animals. - It's pretty tough to do Spanish - irish - spanish - bob dylan -spanish. Especially with a dry throat - one thing cool fun needs is a bar you can get to without disturbing the show.

God what a boring blog- but i at least need to keep track of gigs.
speaking of which..
