Mmm... Cannibalism...

On saturday, Sam, Owen, Jenny and myself went to Tilley's to check out Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen, everyone's favourite faux-Eastern European Folk show band. It was the launch of their new CD - "Journey Through The Land Of Shadows" - and the gig was awesome!

When we saw the actual follow spot and actual theatrical lights (and actual techy), we feared that the Gentlemen had sold out and gone all 'professional' on us. However, our fears were allayed when Mikelangelo forgot the words to one of his songs (he was getting prompted by Baron Von Babyface) and pulled the lead out of his mic while it was on. Twice. The usual banter, gratuitous product placement (this time for San Pellegrino (sp?) Pompelmo) and virtuoso performances meant that a great time was had by all. Of course, a lot of the other people at the gig seemed to be in some kind of coma, but I think the four of us and the table next to us were vocal and energetic enough for everyone, so it probably evens out.

Also, there was a young lady working behind the bar who was unanimously declared attractive by the entire table. She really was (probably still is, really) very pretty. And we were joined by Zoe, Matty H and Richy, the latter two of whom were nice enough to buy us a coupla rounds of drinks, so yay them!

After the gig, I got a CD, a set list and a signed pompelmo bottle. Yay, me!

Final verdict? Five incredibly attractive waitresses out of five.
