I think yesterday's gig could be regarded as being A Great Success. For starters, Quiet Girl loved the band. She's not someone who's usually outwardly enthusiastic, but she was very positive about the band. On the other hand, I have mixed feelings about Mr Quiet Girl - he was very drunk. He didn't get very drunk but rather he seemed to be very drunk from his arrival, which wasn't a great look if you ask me. Additionally, he disappeared randomly and probably missed half the gig, though QG said he would likely do that.
Additionally, and as a complete surprise, AM and her family turned up.
Once I'd arrived and secured seats, I took a quick snapshot of the band finishing off their soundcheck. I posted it in the silent WhatsApp chat (remember that?) and captioned it with "I'm here, are you close?"
It was a sarcastic post as no-one had arranged anything except Mr AM posting about the gig.
Mr AM replied a few minutes later:
"We're on our way!"
I assumed the message was, like mine, sarcasm. So imagine my surprise when, 20 minutes later, AM and her family walked in through the door. I introduced AM to QG and we settled in for the gig.
We also put tentative plans in place for food and drinks towards the end of next month and bemoaned the fact that no-one else ever did any organising.
All-in-all, a great Sunday.
