Friday: Saw an old woman with swollen hands and a goatee in Rochester while I was walking to Chatham for the weekly food shopping. Got a bit waylaid before I left the house for the Tap so I took my short cut I take in the mornings. Came across a bunch of kids lounging on a pile of tree branches, they moved out of the way and one boy said to me "don't mind her she's just asleep" I looked down and saw a girl passed out the other side of the branches "you must have been in that condition at one time" I just laughed and kept on, didn't feel like debating Straight Edge. Got to the Tap at eight, no one there again but at least I didn't have to pay to get in this time. It wasn't as depressing as last Saturday, I just found a quiet corner to hang out be myself and meditate on a few things. The problem is that I'm cut off from my friends during the week so I don't know what their doing for the weekend. It kind of feels like everyone else has moved on except me. This week at the Job Centre they were talking about finding me voluntary work, maybe one day a week but I think I'd like to do more than that, my hope is that I'll get to work with people I can actually stand and are about the same age as me (something I haven't had the experience of at previous employers), so I can make some more friends so I have more people to hang out with. Left at twenty to ten, resisted the urge to get chips, got a taxi home, watched South Park Filthy, Rich & Catflap and Kung Fu Hustle.
Saturday: Started walking to the Command House after eight. Saw a whole load of kids hanging around when I got near there (and I thought they only did that on Friday's before going to the Manor, that place really is the new Vines). Got hassled by Chav girls before I got there, walked straight in without getting ID by the old bouncer like usual, had to wait through Deadman DJ playing weird and annoying Dance music in-between every band and forty minutes before the first one went on:
Mths: It's strange that people just stare at John staring at his lap top making soundscapes. Didn't have the guy from Let Our Enemies Beware on guitar like usual, instead Gav from The Guillaume Seam was playing drums and John played guitar himself (well I say play, it's more making feedback and playing with a couple of FX pedals).
Mucky Sailor: One guy with and afro wearing a wifebeater on drums another guy wearing a sailor suit playing two keyboards and singing through a distorted mic, thoroughly weird.
Poltergroom: Three guys bare-chested apart from leather belts fastened around their shoulder like gladiators wearing witches hats. Nearest musical comparison I could think up was the Minutemen on acid, did a weird cover of Are You Gonna Go My Way?
Honey Ride Me A Goat: The bass and guitar players were bore wearing aprons that you're mum would normally wear, sounded like instrumental Primus (I could only think of Primus as the bass was turned up so fucking loud), finished the set with the guitarist wearing a wielders mask with a strobe light fixed at the top of it.
Came out just in time to see a bunch of old men dressed as cowboys leaving the RAF Hall. Went to the Kebab shop for some chips and saw the Chav girls from earlier, they didn't actually notice me 'til I left.
