York: the elegy

You've probably heard through the grapevine that The Leftover Sessions travelled to York last Friday to pay a visit to Peggy Sue (and Mumford & Sons) at their show at the Picturehouse.
Here is the summary:

Cons:

-That bloody train!
-Getting ripped off on our tickets.
-Uptight people on the train.
-The venue turning out to be a Shithouse rather than a Picturehouse.
-Feeling sick after too much tea.
-Having to sit tight for the bands' arrival!
-Not being able to use the river in our interview because it was so so cold!
-Embarassment on our behalf that we couldn't go and say hello when the time for interviewing came.
-Pregnant thief.
-A hint of awkwardness in the interview.
-The fact that I (Mary) can not go through interviews without putting things into context using the example of Nazis.
-The man who kept locking us out of the venue even though we were allowed in.
-Not knowing any good places for food.
-Pretentious fake laugh kids from York.
-Didn't get to see Mumford & Sons (we're having words with them).
-The Rocky Nest wasting precious York time.

Pros:

-Fun train ride that was very easy.
-Finding the venue in one shot*
-Newspaper man.
-Brush man who reccomended the very fine McDonald's for dinner (the other places were too far away).
-Felix lookalike who served us in the cafe!
-Peggy. Sue. <3
-Olly.
-Winston, lovely as ever.
-Doritos.
-"Party backstage! Yeahhhh!"
-Pete Roe.
-Green wristbands & being able to go backstage whenever the hell we wanted.
-Accordions.
-Winston & Ben featuring in a couple songs before we left.
-Missy Elliot cover. Fo'lyfe.
-Getting on the train on time.
-April?

*= thanks to Newspaper man who gave us such good directions!

Over & Out, Mary, Vic & Charlotte.

your questions, my answers.

Q: Who is this?

V: This is Von.

Q: Oh you. You haven't blogged for a long time, why is this?

V: Well I'm not going to lie to everyone I just forgot. And didn't have the time. But hey, now I do. Forgive me?

Q: We'll have to think about it. What have you been doing?

V: Not much, a lot of studying (I have to say that, I'm bound by law). Also sending luck to my Fulham boys and eagerly awaiting the new Maccabees record.

Q: Ah yes, the new Maccabees record. We assume you're excited?

V: Terribly. Everyone should watch the video blogs. It makes you even more excited about the record because you're only hearing tiny snippets of the songs so you're itching to hear the full thing. It's gonna be incredible!

Q: And talk to us about Fulham, how've you been doing?

V: Well I was slightly concerned because when we played West Ham the other week we lost for the first time in 10 games. But we played Kettering Town in an FA cup match yesterday and beat them 4-2 so I suppose that's a good thing. Also Jimmy Bullard left for Hull City so that's a shame. But at least we've still got (lovely) Clint Dempsey.

Q: What are you going to be up to in the next little while?

V: Well my exams start in 2 weeks so a lot of studying. Maybe going to the cinema as well. I'm going to see Late of the Pier on the 8th of February which is SO exciting. So yeah, good times and bad.

- Thank you and goodnight people. I love you all.

thought i would ever see bo bruce get kicked out of the orange unsigned act, and see the scarlet harlots make it to the last leg of the competition, its just wrong.
