Well we passed the milestone...

of leaving the wee one at home with a sitter and made it to the concert on Saturday night. The venue was half full... the crowd predominently English and the average age well over 30... The girl standing next to me hit the nail on the head when she said 'this concert is for old people' lol. Ian Brown looked pretty destroyed and the sound was too thus it didn't make for a very good concert to be honest... however when he did play two stone roses tracks the place went wild. I felt kind of sorry for him as it must be a pain when you're trying to flog your new work and people are only interested in what you used to do in the past... but it still pays the bills I suppose... Andy Rourke (the bass guitar player for the Smiths) joined him on stage for a while and then was the dj upstairs for the after party... It was pretty funny as I dared Alfredo to go up to him and request that he play a Smiths song... cheeky bugger of course did... and you know what? He played one! Hilarious...

When all was said and done we headed back home and arrived just before 1am to relieve the lovely Chiara of her babysitting duties. She skipped off into the night to join her friends who start their night at 2am... insane! I am indeed an oldie now, but that's fine by me!
