And In Other News...

Jason Mraz is coming back to the UK in the Spring! I know, I know, aren't I a bit too rock 'n' roll to be a mraz-a-fan? Well, maybe, but I like him. We have two tickets. We're going.

The other youf-ful luminary who's gracing our shores (and possibly trailer parks) with her presence is none other than...

[Drum roll]

BRITNEY SPEARS!

Now, funnily enough, I was shooting pool with a friend at bar a couple of weeks and saw the following graffiti scratched into the men's room wall.



...Oh, trust me... I will! I'm not even going to pretend to be interested in seeing that young lady do her thang!

Wicked...

Yes, I know, hardly Rock & Roll lifestyle but...



...went to see "Wicked" last night. Surprisingly good show! Can't remember most of the songs but I don't think that's the point with this kind of narrative musical. The performances were great, especially by the two witches... Es... Esmer... Esmeranti? And... [cough]... Blondie?

Anyway, names aren't important. The important thing is that it was a good night out. A veritable spectacle!

I'm not going to go into details, but "Wicked" is actually the reason that I have less than six degrees of separation from BRITNEY! It's your typical family to friend to room mate to celeb type of thing. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I'll come home to find the place overrun by paps...

Just heard from my Heavy Metal crew that band practice is on Saturday this week. Not only am I supposed to be at a rugby match in Reading (of all places) but I should also have houseguests that evening. Scheduling conflict! Something's going to have to give... Note to potential bandmates: PRACTICE DURING THE WEEK, PLEASE!!!!

...except Thursday nights, that is. I decided that I got so much out of the last guitar course I took in terms of keeping me focused and progressing that I'd sign up for another one, organised by the Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES). It's on Thursday nights and is basically a Rock Techniques class. We'll see how it goes... right now I'm not 100% sure that they've got enough people signed up to run the course, so it may be a non-starter. It's supposed to kick off next week. Watch this space!
