The masked ball was quite entertaining, especially as I can't see a thing without my glasses, so everyone descended into black blobby things. Star Industry were the first band on, and they were a lot of fun. I think that they suffered somewhat from the fact that the event had two venues, and they were facing off Swarf and Manuscript, and so only got half the audience. I wasn't really dressed for bouncing madly at the front of a rock gig, and neither were many people so it was quite subdued with fairly gentle dancing around.
Two Witches were two witches really. Entertaining but not brilliant, and very cute to look at. I probably would have danced, but I was too warm in all the frills, jacket and befeathered face.
We retired to the B&B shortly after the DJ's started, since the previous week had een very tiring for me, the others were likewise knackered, and there were people that were preferable to avoid there as well.
Saturday was a lazy morning loking around the market section, where I picked up a number of very cheap CD's from the remnants of the Nightbreed shop. Some will be of in to work ith me tomorrow to see what they are like. Myself and Morph went along to the fashion show in the afternoon, which wasn't as interesting as it might have been, and started a little bit on the late side. We bumped into Natasha and thus became the Meltdown tranport device across the promenade. It was absolutely tipping it down as we went back to our room, and we were pretty comprehensively soaked.
A quick change and Catt and myself were off to have some chineese, and then on to the evening venue. There were lots of people there to talk to, which was good, as I was very bored and uninspired by both 616 and Inertia. Apop on the other hand were great live. The energy was pouring around the audience and we were lapping it up. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed it, and I'll probably go as far as getting a CD of theirs now.
Sunday was pretty much just the Morecambe version of Sexy Sunday. Once the porn show stopped, and the dance floor started to fill this was fantastic. I really got the dancing bug, and was on the floor for most of the time. Enthusiasm took to such an extent that there are even reports of my exploits with glowsticks....
