gti festival of the apes
the infamous captain botch does some friendly welding for stretch and the 'welsh contingent'. unfortunately all the safety gear to hand are gardening gloves and his stage wig and sunglasses from his part time job as pole dancer with jensen d groovers cash wash 70's disco show.
it's wrong, it's just plain wrong - and it's an obvious fire hazard.
kevo does us all proud on the laptop of steel !
'so you grab a track like this, drag and drop it like that, here's the crossfader... how long is it since you've dj'd ? wow, that long... ok your turn now, i'll be back later'
and he mashed up top tunes, all night!
the reprobates party hearty in a circled wagons stylee
tim and jimby debate the rain
You've captured the evening perfectly!
My memories of that night are of fascinating conversation with yourself and Botch set to a backing track of old-skool electro, Coldcut and M/A/R/R/S classics mixed together in a way that brought a large grin to my face.
To me, that's what events like this are about. Making friends, learning new things about yourself and others, and alcohol. Oh yes, alcohol. Can't forget that! And I certainly couldn't the following morning. Next time I'll leave the wifebeater on the shelf in the off-license and choose something a little more subtle.
