The hate can wait, the love though, Kristin played for the first time in York last night. I felt kind of proud – it’s my hometown (as I very proudly told them, after Kristin and Billy both said how nice it all was here). The word “quaint” might have been used.
Anyway, to keep it short, it was a great set, though lots of songs I didn’t know. Met lots of nice people, and met lots of nice people I already knew. That’s the thing about Kristin shows – there’s always a more hardcore following there, without them being too annoying. Plus! York! Nobody ever used to play York, and I do remember any time anyone did, there’d always be a good turnout (because people here really appreciate it when someone makes the effort, and doesn’t just skip us for Hull or Leeds) – which there was last night – Kristin did three encores too.
York Duchess too, not as bad as I feared, it’s in an old pool hall, and has low ceilings, but a decent view of the stage. York finally has two decent music venues – it’s only taken about 40 years (and that’s dating back to the times my mum, dad and auntie would go and see bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones here).

A couple of weeks ago I sold a 4AD pencil and a badge on ebay, as an experiment (I thought they’d go for lots of money, and some people at 4AD didn’t). Needless to say, they went for lots of money. (This money will all be going to a charitable cause, btw – not me)
Anyway, I don’t know why these were done, but they were. The badges are smart though, quite old school style.
So there you go.

I’d read about Graze – it’s been set up by the people who set up LoveFilm – so I figured it was worth a try. Oh, it was good too – and while pricey, it tasted good. This was the Graze Classic Large – I’ve downgraded for the new year, and have set up a Tuesday and Thursday delivery at work for these. It probably works out slightly less than I’d pay for the same in Holland and Barrett. Mind, I’ve gone for a Graze Luxury Large for my next box – well, it’s Christmas, isn’t it?
Oh, and there’s nutritional information on the bottom of the box – with a green grass design on one side, and what you need to know on the other. Definitely worth trying, anyway.

Darn. I’ve got to the last two home games, as Ross has been unable to use his Season Ticket. The last game we lost, the one before we won. So now I know I’m not the curse – it definitely is Gareth Bale (who came on as a sub on Sunday when we were already losing, cue half of the south stand groaning).
Still, that other side from North London lost tonight in the Carling Cup. I wont gloat, as it’s our turn tomorrow night. However, if we win, I will. If that makes sense. Got to be cautious about these things, right?
