Hello everyone! How are we all?

Yus, as the title sugests, I went to see Blur play at Hyde Park on Friday. It was awesome! Such a great band, playing hit after hit after hit. Love it!! The weather and support acts were great too, which always helps an open-air concert. Deerhoof were just plain bizzare, but amusing; Florence and the machine I'd love to see again. Fantastic stuff! Some jamaican (I think) band, who spoke very little english - they left by saying "Bye, ta", bless them. And then Vampire Weekend came on. I don't mind their stuff, but apparently most of the crowd did - about half way through their set, they started throwing bottles (empty and full) down towards the stage. I have never seen - in person - so many bottles get thrown at a band on stage! Poor Vampire Weekend

But that kind of brought about the unwritten rule that anyone who sat on someone's shoulders would get bottles lobbed at them till they got down. That I will admit to doing once or twice, as it irritates me when that happens right in front of me and I then can't see the band. Gah, silly people. And if you're short then ... well, tough!

Some lot barged their way through the crowd when Blur started doing Park Life (for which they brought Phil Daniels onto stage ), knocking me and some others down like dominoes. Gah. But I saved some guys' sunglasses after it all, so yeay. And someone had made the little milk carton out of the video for Coffee and TV - excellent stuff to see So, yus, great gig! And now I shall shut up about it ... sorry ... *ahem*
