This edition of Cutlery is coming from Penarth library, the third library whose free internet access I have taken advantage of since the move. Virgin are installing internet, as well as phone and TV, on Monday, but until then it's a pretty safe bet that I'll be writing this blog near some books.
Yesterday night, all of us (save Gem, who didn't finish work until quite late) went to the Cardiff Arts Institute to see a gig that Josh (Price, not to be confused with Joshua 'JR' Robson) had organised. It was good. Pete had a steak sandwich thing, he let me have a bite and it was very nice.
For the most part we were sat on some very springy sofas next to a Lego wall*, but when Josh came on we decided that the chivalrous thing to do would be to go to the front and heckle him a bit. Admittedly this was mostly me, but nonetheless we ended up with me demanding to introduce him - and I realise too late that I shouldn't have referred to him as "Josh Price" but instead "Scriber" or at the very least "The J-Pizzle" - requests for "The Knob Song", and flowers being thrown onto the stage at the end of his set.
The other acts were very good too, especially The Lay-Lows who managed to work a Rage Against The Machine riff into one of their own, acoustic, songs, but the highlight beyond a doubt was the shadow puppetry, mostly courtesy of JR (not to be confused, etc.) and his mad paper tearin' skills. So those assembled at the CAI last night were treated to shadow Pacman being chased by a shadow ghost, a shadow bat flapping around menacingly, and my shadow hands doing nothing of any artistic merit at all, really.
On returning home we watched a film called Chasing Amy. It was not really about lesbians. Also Foley was there and he played Hit Me Baby One More Time. It was perhaps a little gay.
The J-Dizzle.
