2009 starts here

New Year's Eve 2008/09 turned out to be one of the best in ages being hosted by Paul and Sarah. Paul, Kev, Mark and myself took up spinning duties and the party went on well after we'd left about 8am.

Kerry was keen to do some DJing so she chose a handful of her favourite tunes and I taught her how to use the Numark VirtualVinyl. I've used it infrequently since the Bonfire party and this time, connecting it to the Technics decks, it takes ages for the software and drivers to recognise them. Anyway, Kerry did a great job on the night and I think she can appreciate the frustration and concentration it demands.

New Year's Day was reduced to 30 minutes of daylight and camping out on the sofa.

The last day before returning to work was a promise to Sarah to go ice skating at the Brighton Dome. I was a little nervous about how many times I would be falling over but after a few circuits we were both dodging others around the very small and crowded rink.

Looking forward to the following in 2009

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo
