Unbelievable!!! My Tickets for the second night arrived at 7:15 this morning, by a greasy biker with a clip board. Not quite the vision of Scooterists arriving at my door and Edie Sedgwick delivering them to me via her Bra!, but still I was aroused!!!! I've had to leave work early today as I can't concentrate on anything else other than getting my suit back from the cleaners, complete with alterations to the cuffs, getting on my TV175 and joining the convoy that is The North Herts S.C, to see the best and most influencial garage group of all time. Ace, man! Bloody Ace!!
