In Anticipation of Klezmer

So slowly but surely we're preparing to slot into our respective routines. I've had my first lectures of the year, Gem sorted out her plans this morning, and Cliffey is enrolling tomorrow morning. Having said that, Pete's being somewhat vague about when he starts, and Soph's taking this whole week off work, so we've not all got our noses to the grindstone. Lazy Soph.

Now. I seem to have neglected to mention the gig at CAI the other night. Basically, we had heard previously of a "funk/ska/gypsy/swing" gig at the arts institute on Saturday, but only realised on the day that it was the Klezmer Kollectiv, whom our regular followers will recognise as the band of the moment around here right now.
So we got to CAI around 9 and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
I asked the barmaid when they'd be on, and was told "around half 11,ish".
We waited.
At around 11.45, I asked the woman at front of house. She told me that they'd be on at about half midnight.
We waited some more, and they finally came on and played some music. But who was in attendance? And what were their reactions?
Joel - pleasure at slowly getting to know the songs he was hearing
Sarah - tiredness at having waited so long
Cliffey - ecstasy, particularly at realising he had worn his Tetris t-shirt
Peter - joy at shouting "Hey!" so often
Tim - unusually unhinged and wild and jumpin'
Andy - rather taken with this new discovery
Meic - mild enjoyment, possibly
Tom - utter bewilderment, judging by his expression
Soph wasn't there but she suggested that we were "pretty gay" for going to see this band. She hasn't heard the Kollectiv because she left Milgi's early the first time we saw them and she doesn't spend much time in Cliffey's car.
Gem offered no comment.
Joel.
P.S. JR, Cliffey and I played Risk earlier today but I didn't win so I didn't feel it merited inclusion in the main body of the blog.
P.P.S. JR won.
