If it wasn't for the 'Rona, today I would be...

[rosieangel]

I'd be trying not to look at the Weather Thread whilst in Rome to see Nick Cave at the Cavea Auditorium this coming Sunday.

 

I'll never forget the sheer frenzied elation about 2-3 weeks prior when the weather forecasts changed from swamps and a wash-out to a scorchio drought and everyone here lost their minds. Still chasing that high.

On a plane to Istanbul for a one night stopover before flying to Baku to start another memorable Euros.

Getting hyped for England v Croatia at Wembley on Sunday.

Hi from New Zealand! It’s Friday night here, so in an alternative version of the present if COVID wasn’t a thing, I would have just finished work for four weeks!! On Sunday we were due to fly the whole family out for our Glastonbury and a Greek Island getaway. I have been really busy with the COVID response so haven’t really stopped to  register the loss until now, but it suddenly hurts. I don’t know if we can make next year work and I want to return to the farm so bad! More beer needed.

I'd be under this, as fucking usual, but utterly pissed with my metal head on:

[grumpyhack]

Going to see Limehouse Lizzy in Cardiff tonight.

[MrZigster]

It would've been a rostered day off. So I'd almost certainly be at a pub right now, watching the closing couple of numbers from whatever act would've been playing.

[fred quimby]

I'm actually getting sad I will not be there. Thought I wouldn't 

 

caught in the pissing rain  near the site today and actually said - Well this will get it out the way by the festival. 

 

I know that is not a thing

I’d be waking up in Berlin, extremely hungover. Was due to be on my best mate’s stag do. 

Instead today, I’m cleaning out my garage. 

[Simsy]

I'd be in London for my Oxfam volunteer training.

[sedra]

I’d be celebrating World Gin Day at a friends bbq today as part of my 60th birthday weekend celebrations. I was planning a party for tomorrow but instead have ordered a takeaway Sunday roast hamper to share with my social bubble person 😐

I should have been going to see British Sea Power in Bedford tonight - really, really missing live music.

Yeah I am. 

I've optimistically booked gig tickets for November and December, more out of hope!

I've also got a £50 Ticketmaster voucher that expires in December so I need to use that too!

[RarerThanDandyB]

Would of been seeing System of a Down on the final night of Download. Very depressing.

[Hugh Jass]

I’d be at Wembley right now.

What venue? Didn’t realise Bedford attracted half decent bands!

It's a little club called Esquires, in the few months before lockdown I saw, Gaz Coombes, Murder Capital, She Drew the Gun, Beak and Warmduchser there. Squid should have played in March as well as BSP tonight. All more than half decent bands imo.

Like all small venues they are struggling at the best of times, never mind now. Esquires had a successful Crowdfunder to help with cash flow. The Music Venue Trust is also running a appeal to help keep small venues afloat https://saveourvenues.co.uk/#/

At the moment I've got Squid rescheduled for September - doubtful - BSP for October - not quite so doubtful -  plus Nick Cave for next year - much more hopeful about that - and I've booked for Rockaway Beach in January - fingers crossed for that.

In Bognor Regis is that? I'm tempted but the commute after work on  Friday afternoon would be 5ish hours... 😐

[Losing my hair]

That's the one. I went for the first time this year and had a great time  - mind you it must be half the distance for me and I work for myself so no problems in getting days off.

[GlastoEls]

Should have been at Wembley this afternoon for England 5 : Croatia 0!
