Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 10.02.10

Turns out my last couple of blogs and messages haven't ended up on the internet, or even in your box. I want to blame Facebook for this, but there are strong chances that I've just been pressing the wrong buttons. Blame the technology, or blame the operator, it's up to you, but I'm going to try and make up for it now.

I've discovered a new Chinese takeaway, we were introduced by a friend last week, I'd like to say I was hesitant at first, but I wasn't, I was excited about the new possibilities, the new flavours, I'd been faced with temptation and I jumped into it with all the enthusiasm of a man faced with glorious temptation, and, my word, I enjoyed it. I do feel a little bad, me and my old takeaway were close, we'd been together a long time, they knew my order without me having to speak, they never left me hungry, they never complained about the weather, they didn't have to call back to check where my house was, we'd shared a lot, but, the belly is weak, sometimes it just needs a slightly different tasting curry sauce and crispier chips. Sometimes.

Last night was fandabidozy, I wasn't expecting so much, darkest February, Valentines looming, all those silly reasons people think of not to have a good time, but not you guys, nope, good times you wanted and good times you had; mosh-boshing in the pit, hipty-hoping in the middle floor, and cock-rockin' up the stairs. I saw the good times, so many different times of goodtimes, and it made my elbows feel fuzzy and warm and the corners of my mouth try to kiss my ears. That's a good thing, I think.

A special thanks to Ruth, for stepping in last minute to take control of camera duties, we think she did a good job, have a gander through the gallery and judge for yourself.

We might go for having more guest photo-monkeys in future, if any of you fancy it just let us know and we'll know that we can grab you on the night.

Next weeks top floor... Pancake Day Punk & Ska and Ska/Punk! - Can you believe it's been a month since the last one? I'm very excited about it, get your requests in now.

If you're bored tonight, Where's Mavis? recommends the Mad Ferret open mic night followed by £1/drink night at Method. If not, have fun doing whatever you're doing, try not to burn anything.

Feel free to use this note as a place to tell us anything, good or bad about Mavis, or just your life.
