As if the sleep deprivation was not enough...

[whiskyinmind]

I'm at work. I've had maybe six hours sleep in total since Sunday...

But dude!

STEEEVE!

I apologise completely for the incoherency of the voice posts, although the last one, given that I was completely and utterly off my face, is remarkably understandable!

I'll eventually go through them all and transcribe them properly so y'all have a hope of getting what's been going on there although to be honest, you can probably just take the words "Steve!", "Coke", "Finally", "It's the only logical thing to do" and STEEEEEEEEVE!!!!" and rearrange them and you'll have the content of most of the posts...

*grins*

Got back to mine late last night after a full day's bus journey (why?!) and angelnetgirl and I pretty much just crashed after discovering that LJ was being arsey. Woke up when my alarm went off on my phone, but did I get up? No.. I sat listening to my ring tone for about a half hour before I heard Laura moving about looking for breakfast. It seriously is just as well she was there because otherwise I would still be asleep right now! Dropped Laura off at the bus station (after driving round repeatedly trying to find a place to stop to do so) and then got into work to of course find that nothing's been done in the time I was away...

Am planning on leaving here at 4, heading home to try to convert the video files into a more readable format and flipping them a little because I was thinking like a photographer rather than a videoer-type-person and have a lot of it portrait instead of landscape which... ooops? Looks like Steve's singing on his back for a fair bit of the time... and then I have to pack and then get the train and meet wenchpixie (going through Gilmore St at around 9.30 Claire?) and then getting the overnight bus down to London in time to meet aditu_az at the bus station and doing it all again for the Camden gig tomorrow!

I am clearly insane... (it's this damn work day in the middle that's underscoring the insanity really, the rest of it would be fine!).

Gig will be reviewed at a later time when my brain cells are all lined up and firing properly again, and possibly photographs as well because dude... some of them are awesome! (although there seems to be two random shots of my cleavage for some reason.. The first was to show the safe place my ticket was being kept, but the second? No clue. I had my jacket on in that picture (and obviously I wasn't taking the shot) so it was post-Steve!Bottle which would explain why I have no memory of it but...

I will reply to comments as well, I just... need to sleep...

And Steve! (who did my absolute favourite U2 song at the gig which I was so touched by (although I'm under no illusions there's no way he knew it was my favourite) that I had to hand the camera to kitty_cat89 because I couldn't focus... (Running to a Stand Still))

I gotta get to work now but just wanted to say that Steve!Bottle ROCKED! :p it was so freaking awesome! I got some pics of that as well, will upload them tonight!!

who did my absolute favourite U2 song at the gig which I was so touched by THAT ROCKED EVEN MORE! im sure you guys got that on tape right? I didnt but really want to see it again! Man! honestly, best night ever!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Steve!Bottle is something I actually still have trouble believing actually happened! (And that Cat and I had the sheer gall to finish it off like that and then get it signed by Steve! Poor guy was probably thinking "There was half a bottle left there... what happened to it?")

I really, really, really hope the vid of Running to a Stand Still comes out - like I said, I was too shaky just because he was doing that particular song so I handed the camera I was using to Karyn, but I think Cat was recording the whole time, so there will definitely be at least one copy soon!

[annemiek81.livejournal.com]

The pic I took, kinda from the side though..
Ohhh and awesome if there would be a copy! man, I want to go again on Thursday!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! That's actually the first picture I've seen of me from the gig that didn't make me cringe!

Thank you so much!

[annemiek81.livejournal.com]

yw! OMG YOUR ICON!!!!!!!!!

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

So you enjoyed the concert, and Steve was great.

Awesome :)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Steve was awesome. Just... awesome!

And the gig was amazing! Can't wait till tomorrow night's one! (Both gigs are being recorded for a live CD - it should be incredible!)

[ysbail.livejournal.com]

You took pictures - awesome - I know it's nowhere near as good as being there but at least I can look at the pictures, listen to his music, and make believe ...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

There are pictures, and videos and all kinds of awesomeness!

It might end up being the weekend before I can actually spend enough time in one place to get it all sorted out, but they will definitely be going online!

[ysbail.livejournal.com]

Well as long as you appreciate that my envy knows no bounds ... *g*

I understand you're doing the same again ... be still my beating heart ...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

*grins*

yup. Heading down tonight for the gig tomorrow. I won't have a video camera this time (the one I was using is angelnetgirl's, hence my D'oh! moment of having the thing taping at the wrong angle, but I will have my digital camera for photographs.

*nods*

And you're coming to the next lot - no arguments!

[ysbail.livejournal.com]

Have a ball ...

[wenchpixie]

YES. I'LLL MEET YOU ON THE TRAIN - FRONT CARRIAGE, RIGHT?

SORRY. TOO EXCITED MUST CAPS LOCK.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

FRONT CARRIAGE YUP!!!!

HAVE JUST REALISED I HAVEN'T EATEN A MEAL SINCE YESTERDAY LUNCH AND THAT WAS A CHICKEN BRUGER FROM NANDO'S. NO WONDER I'M HUNGRY!!

CAPS LOCK FTW!!!

Dude... Steve!!!!!!

[wenchpixie]

HAVE A DECENT BLOODY LUNCH TODAY. AND TEA WHEN YOU GET IN. AND THEN I HAVE ALL THE SWEETIES IN THE DAMN WORLD ALREADY PACKED (and some peanut M&Ms).

AM HARDCORE TODAY. USING SHIFT KEY :).

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Does cup-a-soup and a Twix count as a decent lunch?

*g*

I'll eat something properly when I get home this evening. I promise.

and yay for sweeties!

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wenchpixie]

I'm thinking not so much... *has sushi, celery sticks, carrots and hummus*

There will be questions regarding your tea, later.

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Since I have exceptionally little in the house right now, I can tell you I will be having chicken fillets, chips and corn-on-the-cob. Fairly balanced, could do with a little more vegetable stuff I guess but it's food...

*g*

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[wenchpixie]

It's probably healthier than I'll have :D.


STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE.


DUDE. TOMMORROW. DUDE!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Aw man, wait till you see the pictures! (I'll leave them on the memory card if there's room and show you them on the bus).

Dude!! STEVE! TOMORROW!! STEVE!!!

(Have you seen his MySpace by the way, tomorrow's gig's getting recorded as well!)

[wenchpixie]

OOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO.

I did, yep. S'AWESOME

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

And he totally has the exact same taste in music as me. He started off by listing some of the people who've been on that stage (at the Half Moon) and how they were kinda his heroes (Van Morrison, U2, a few others) and then with the Running to a Stand Still cover and a Nina Simone cover...

It's like he tailored that to me...

Aw, Steve!!!!!

DUDE!!!

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wenchpixie]

Steve's very good to his girls. It's part of his duty as cult leader :D

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

he is indeed.

And what with the meditating thing his status as cult leader is becoming more and more real as time goes on!

(We were trying to work out if we sounded more like a fire alarm or a car alarm with the sustained 'Steves' and then _doodle came up with the term "Killer Steve Bees". I may have to icon that.)

(I'm getting really random now - thank f*ck I can leave in an hour and a half!)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

(and the lunch I'm remembering? Wasn't yesterday. It was Monday. Yesterday was a Mars Bar.)

[wenchpixie]

*pokes* that's not good for you, blood sugar all over the joint and all that. Eat some leaves or something *glares*


Unless you've also been eating braaainz or drinking blood?

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

DUDE! I forgot about that - after the "She's not there" song, Steve said something about how they were a british band, The Zombies. Cat and I nearly cracked up!!

[wenchpixie]

That? Is AWESOME :D

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

And there was STEVE! And more STEVE! and Steve doing silly things like signing empty bottles and laughing and posing for photos while holding the ladies toilet door open...

STEVE!!!

I am sitting here with a grin on my face right now and I can't get rid of it! (And I don't actually want to!)

I wish you were coming down to the one tomorrow as well - but we'll voice post again (hopefully I'll either be more sober or will be as drunk for the same reason! (which would be all kinds of awesome...))

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

The grin on his face in those pictures is just so awesome - that boy has a serious imp quality there!

We didn't steal it, Kirk gave it to us... *grins*

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Can I claim to be drunk for that part.

Nope. Even though Kirk seemed more than happy to actually let you drink... probably because it was from the Steve!Bottle rather than buying something from the bar...

STEVE!!!!

Dude! I'm bouncing in my seat now!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Hee! JD can be an acquired taste, it's like sweeter whisky?

But taking a hit straight from the bottle probably wasn't the best plan. And (puts on concerned and allegedly responsible adult tone) taking a drink from an already open bottle offered to you by a strange man is *really* not a good idea. Really.

Of course, that didn't stop me necking most of it so I may not be the best person to advise on that kind of thing!

Icons will be forthcoming, I promise.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

*huggles*

It was mutual looking-after-ness I think. I know I said it a zillion times whilst drunk and then again when sober, but I really am sorry to have acted like that.

Kirk, who started off saying he was a happily married man, segueing into saying he had a thing for 17 year olds ("Well, they're legal!") and then basically groping anyone who came close enough and had the right chromosome pairing? *g*

But he is awesome, and I made sure he was thanked for that whole introductiony thing he did for you. (And was groped for my trouble... *g*)

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

So there's some fascination you have for a guy named Steve?


Gabrielle

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Steve? Steve who?

Never heard of the man...

*grins*
