often seen in the street without a hat

On Saturday I went over to Glasgow for the Open Doors weekend.

( Govanhill baths. )

( Scottish Ballet at Tramway. )

( Royal Highland Fusiliers museum. )

( Glasgow Police museum. )

( Britannia Panopticon Music Hall. )

On Sunday I went to see The Runaways, which I liked very much indeed. Kristen Stewart really reminded me of someone, and I can't work out whether it's Joan Jett, or someone else. I really need to get all the Runaways and Joan Jett music now. It made me very happy to hear it. At the end of the film they do a "what happened to the characters" bit, but they only did Joan Jett, Cherry Curry and the producer man. I would have liked to have been told about the other members of The Runaways. I bought a motnhly pass, so now I can go and see utter rubbish when I like, hurrah.


Also last week I went to see The Vaselines, which I really really enjoyed. It's the first time I've been to a gig on my own (except Kristin Hersh a few years ago, but that was sitting down and more storytelling than gig), and it was fine! I stood at the back for the first bit, and then edged closer and was at the front for the actual Vaselines. I loved everything they played, and the new stuff I hadn't heard before. They were very funny on stage. The supports were Foxgang, who I really liked and plan to download some of their stuff from tentracks as soon as I'm solvent again, and Haight-Ashbury, who I thought were good, but rather boring and a bit pretentious. I have gone all up myself with the success of actually attending a gig and not being thrown out for being clearly far too pathetic to be there, and decided to have some actual opinions.
