Must Not..

..drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... must not drink red wine like it is water... repeat ad infinitum...

Well, I fell off the wagon in pretty impressive style last night! For some reason, Ricki and I decided that for dietary reasons it would be a good idea to skip dinner, and drink several large glasses of red wine instead. On leaving the pub (at a modest 8:45), it was rather like getting slammed on the head with a sledgehammer! How does your brain trick you into feeling ok one minute... dum de dum, nothing going on here.... and then totally NOT the next?! urrrgghhhh.... Anyway, despite the apparently never-ending journey home, and the hangover today, we had a good night!

Ryan Adams on Wednesday night was absolutely fantastic - so much so, that I paid some grebo an extortionate amount of money for a rip-off t-shirt outside the venue. Ryan looked a lot messier than I was expecting, but his voice was amazing... huge range of styles in his set (some very White Stripes kinda stuff). Mark described him as a mid-west Nick Cave... We had a really good night, and I was actually good and didn't drink (I drove).

Anyway... work to do, and a headache to soothe!
