I am now at Manchester uni and absolutely loving it. I can litterally go out whenever I feel the urge, and every band that i've ever loved are playing about 5 minutes down the road, its the most ideal thing i've ever experienced.

| the awesome mike stand |
Last friday, 7th Oct, my sister, my friend and I went to the Manchester academy to see FTSK. To start with it was a bit of a fail, firstly with my sister missing her train from home and having to wait an hour at the station for the next train. Secondly with Jess missing her train due to an over running lecture, loads of traffic, and a massive queue to pick up her tickets. However all was not lost, and we managed to get there for the second and third supports. Had the gig continued as the supports had started the night it would have been a horrendous disaster! It was one of the smallest gigs ive ever been to and yet the room was only a third full of people with 3, extremely high guys 'moshing' in the middle. Personally i would have described it more as running around randomly flailing their arms around. Luckily FTSK came on and it all turned around, ive seen them a few times before but not once have they even been half as good as they were this time. Johnathan is funny now! i never thought that would ever happen, but im not complaining! he had one of the coolest mike stands ever and was following in the footsteps of Adam from TBS with a few mike tricks here and there, of course no one can ever be quite as good as Adam, but he had a good try!
I can safely say it was one of the best gigs ive been to in a while, the first of im sure many during my 4 years here!
Josie and I are going to see The Blackout in november, ill tell you how it was. Oh and also, i have plumb hair, and im loving it :)
much love x
