Echoes of Flavio's Ghost Dreaming

Took a lot of pictures in Whitby at the WGW; mostly bad of course, although I do like some.

Have put several albums on facebook:

• Thursday evening
• Friday daytime
• Friday evening (except Justin Sullivan)
• Justin Sullivan's set, et al.
• Saturday, day time
• Saturday evening, part 1 
• Pretentious Moi - Saturday evening part 2
• Anne Marie Hurst et al, Saturday evening
• Real Gothic v Athletico Whitby, Sunday
• and, finally, the last of the pics on Sunday daytime

Perhaps a bit much, I know. Should stick to the 24 shots in a 135 mm film...
 

... The footie. I hate all spectators' sports and I particularly dislike football mass culture. Yet I had a whole lot of fun at the match yesterday between the Real Gothic and Athletico (sic) Gazette. It makes a difference, I s'pose, if you know a few of the people involved out there on the field, and perhaps more than half the people in the audience... I expect I'll be there next time I go to Whitby.

Just this minute. Very tired. Half an hour's nap, shower, then lessons, then getting up at 6:00 am. Unless I won the lottery, let me check... hm, no, I didn't play so it was going to be a little unlikely.

Whitby was very good.

( So, I wasn't <i>that</i> drunk, didn't imagine it, I did see this... )

Here's one of the two videos I took of 'Rome Burns' , toripink's band (or one of them, she's also with SBA), at the Whitby Gothic Weekend. Yes, the sound quality of the recording is not very good terrible, since it was done with a cheap camcorder's microphone .It is just a memory of a good gig, though, and of an extremely good week-end.

The Apotheosis of Saint Andrew St Andrew of Whitby ascends to the Heavens...

Ok, here are some of my pictures from the WGW April 2007, that is, last week-end. There are about 230 photos, so perhaps too many to see in one sitting. I will endeavour this time to put captions and names, especially since I'm so rubbish at remembering people's names, etc, but it will take a while. A couple of instances of repeated or very similar pictures are some that I did by request, so the people who requested them can have a look and download them (they are mostly 800x600, full multi-megawatt versions available on request).

I took it a little easier this time, but it still was a blast.

You're very welcome to gank the pictures, but of course it'd be nice if you credit the provenance of the photo. thanks.

Quickly between lessons....

Just back a short while ago from Whitby. Quite tired after the long drive -of which I suspect that every speed camera along the way now knows me. I did manage to sleep six hours last night, though. A more detailed report will follow at some point when I'm not both busy and dead tired. Some highlights for me included toripink's band Rome Burns and inferis's band D.U.S.T., as well as innumerable moments at the pub (or one or other of the pubs) with the usual suspects, laughing at jokes that at any other occcasion would have made me cringe... Amongst the things I did not do this time: climb up to the Abbey, particularly not in the middle of the night under the influence of alcohol, etc,

Photos will follow when I get a chance to sort the more than 1200 pics I took -most are rubbish, of course, but it still needs to be done....

Well, this is Whitby, again, after a long time. The drive here went quite smoothly, we made about 5 1/2 hours. I spent some time at the Elsinore, inevitably, tried to have a peek at the Little Angel but it was rammed and when I went back to the Elsie it was impossible to get in so we went to the Endeavour, where I met ... way too many people to list.... special mention , though, to miss_amethyst and rainbowskye who I hadn't seen for a long time.. drank quite a bit but feel quite fresh today -well, I didn't go to any after-parties but came back 'home' as I was a bit tired from the drive and not enough sleep the night before.

Let's see what today brings...
