Breaking down is hard to do

And so it came to pass, and pass us they did, trucks and cars and builders giving us the finger as Vinny Peculiar and the Helene band spent 4 hours on a freezing Friday afternoon waiting for the AA to remove us from the M602 Eastbound . We came to an abrupt halt after much wheel locking and skidding and well...it was a Friday afternoon. At least the heater was working, still we've no idea what's wrong with the vehicle. 6pm and we're still at a mates flat in Salford and by now it's impossible for all of us to make the tea time shuffle so apologies from Helene to the promoter and I'm on my way solo in the car. I get to the venue after getting lost on the infamous Leeds one way system despite a map [it's happened before, you dont want to know]. When I get there the Hi Fi club is in full swing, I get a pint of Boddingtons and in ten minutes I'm on. The gig goes well, the sound is somewhat challenging but I've had worse. Post show I get to meet several local student Sperm Donors, we swap notes and current prices and talk about the song and, well, donor stuff...I sell CD's, talk a little more and then I'm back off home to beat the snow. Today's show is at the Cavern and, replacement tour bus permitting, we'll all be there. VPx
