Pete last night 31.10.08

So took little mole with me to see Pete last night at some random flat/games room in Whitechapel. We got there and was told it would be about half hour untill we we could come in. Got talking to a scottish girl called Angelica who was nice, she had come on her own so we took her under our wing. I needed the loo and managed to getthe guys who owned the flat to let four of us in (we also took on a french girl aswll). We managed to get the asian guys to let us stay, but not before I parted with £20 of my hard earned cashish.

We sat at the bar and was just chatting to Chris (some kinda bruiser) and Blow (who turned out to be the owner). Not sure who they thought I was but i wasn't the air conditioning man they thought I might have been. I still fixed it when I was asked though. weird. I asked for some music and they put on some lovely drum and base. Not sure how i'm supposed to dance to that at 9pm in the evening but i gave it a go. we were in there for ages before pete turned up, literally about 2 hours. Not sure time it was when Pete turned up but it took me well by suprise. Mole must have thought I was a right weirdo as i literally froze. I think i proceeded to through my arms round Pete as he gave me a little peck on the cheek. that's nice. and no he is not dirty, he's suprisingly clean, apart from the finger tips and flipping tall. I then got Blow (handy) to take me through to the back room and meet him properly. that was just wonderful. was sat in there for what must have been only 5 or 10 minutes but felt like ages. not sure what we were all chatting about but there was some sort of comotion going on.

So before he came out to play there was a lot of quick appearances from Pete. geting drinks from the bar, singing random shit into the mike, all i could make out was "no photos no photos" whatever. He finally came on with a batman mask and nearly knocked me out with his guitar arm thing. didnt mind though, course not. to be honest i didnt know much of the material he played..he was on for about an hour with mik whitnall and alan wass on drums and guitar. (these two charmers proceeded to play a few shambles hits and oasis cigarettes and alcohol after pete's departure. ) The whole thing was quite mellow, and people just seemed to be mesmerised by the boy. it was good though, nice not to be caught up in a mosh pit for once. i wouldnt say he was on top form, he was actually quite scatty, to be expected though really.


so pete vacated to the back room and i was put on door duty by blow. again, weird.

and now ive just found out he is playing on thursday so untill then...
