Something Very Good by Tøm

November 11th, 2007 10:25 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go to a street corner of your choosing and wait for something fantastic to happen.

At approximately 6pm this Saturday just gone I started waiting with a large amount of other people at this street corner:

Waiting

We stood there, nothing to do except watch the progressively odder crowd of people walk to the left of us to join the back of the group. Tartan trousers, zips, D-rings, tears, safety pins and the widest variety of hair you have possibly seen, provide the amusement for the hour or so we waited.

People looking for some quick cash were ripe as well, however the crowd (us included) told them to sod off and stop annoying us. Most of us had been ripped off enough over the internet, let alone now on the queue.

Someone came down the line trying to sell glow sticks. She was not well received.

More waiting around, listening to the conversation in front, and behind. More looking at the newcomers.

An ambulance turned up, and jokes were made about glow sticks and certain orifices.

Waiting...

Waiting...

Waiting...

Finally, at approximately 7.00pm, something very good happened. The doors opened, and the crowd of strange people, us included, flock into Brixton Academy.

To see The Sexpistols, live.

I believe that's good enough?

NB: Photo's are not mine, couldn't manage to take many where I was standing.

I dunno.... on one hand, cool, with like, zillions of people there, on the other hand... seems like it should be something good that you aren't expecting to happen.

Hmm, vote for the Sex Pistols? Incidentally, what is with the tartan pants? Were those already old man pants in the 70s, and thus appropriate merz?

I guess it all emerged from the bands, I wasn't very alive at the time ;)

Missed opportunity to meet the GY0 crew...

Why oh why?



Did you not tell me you were in Brixton? I live just around the corner from the Academy! I fought off the touts for the Sex Pistols on my way back from work! I watched you queue from my window!
