MOKFEST yarns..

[Hugs Thistles]

I should say no more, as I have already had the red card.
Bye the way, Hugs, the 'Collosus' wiz my godson and his girlfriend was the young girl set upon and injured by the two HRT laden she cats. Have spoken to her and she is very reassured by the comments of support she has had from some of you via myself. She will be back

Awfy glad I said "sorry chief" Friend of Dorothy. He's a big yin right enough, and I have to thank him for not skelpin' my erse when I bounced off him as I think I may have deserved it. But heigh-ho that's a mosh pit for ye, I suppose.

I was on the Tartan army bus doing its rounds at the parade, and when we stopped halfway round the cross, I thought someone shouted, its for a pee stop (polite way to say it), and then I could'nt get back on.

We had a great time throughout the whole weekend, and just aswell, our tickets came to a grand total of £202, thats the main reason I was sober evey night, well almost.

So who do you have to be "nice" to to get tickets for the whole weekend??

Your bank manager

It was a good weekend. I was at the Stranglers concert and also at Survivors night. Enjoyed the Stranglers but the highlight was Survivors night. My nephew from Edinburgh was there for the first time. He was blown away by the atmosphere. He says you don't get events like that in Edinburgh and reckons that was the best concert he's been at in 5 years. Of course, the amount of alcohol we both consumed might have helped.
On a side note, he was greatly taken by the doorman who was handing out the tokens for the smokers to get in and out. "Aye that's ok mate, I know you, you're in a band, you don't need a token."
Think I must get myself a skinhead haircut and some tattoos - it'll get me into these events easier.

Sounds like a great time. Will HAVE to make it to the next one!

BTW, my bank manager is always nice to me, not the other way around.

How do I get my hands on a Survivors Night ticket for next year before they are sold out - AGAIN!!!

... and the namecheck fae jamie in mcgeochans, i didn't ebven know where the band was playing as i'd been turned blind temporarilly be the heat when i went in. funny thing is, on thursday the horizon duo had been up to my house for lunch, ok a cuppa and we'd been laughing about folk that think they can chant, who then when given the opportunity ask the band for the words(not you chris, we know wot your memory is like) if they do know a song all the way thru its the same song, so sorry boys if you caught me and the rock giggling when you burst into mustang sally, it wisnae you we were laughing at!!!!

seeing General Jack, Jimi "Rock" and all the others was a personal highlight

were you still there when Jamie started taking photos of the crowd?

We played the 1st 15 minutes in complete darkness !!! Somebody plugged the lights into the same circuits as the decibel monitor/shuts down the power thing :D:D

Malky, come to san antonio, I'll have my daughter do you one for free

I'm thinking of having my rabbit and carrot put on me, but I don't think that'll will get me into anywhere.. they'd probably see it, recognize me and slam the door!

Too bad about the weather Saturday, but it sounds like everyone had a great time.

[general jack o'niell]

i hope not, otherwise there will be a photo of us being a little too over familiar with each other when the bugger kissed me, twice in one night? he must have had more to drink than i thought!!!

it was good to see the wee man in fine fettle, been a hard year for him, i wanted a blether but i'd sent the better half up to moto's for a cairry oot, i even got a hug from him!!! must have been my aftershave or something!!!

big disappointment when jamie announced the tom petty song tho, wasn't the one i was hoping to hear, brilliant all the same, even with five strings

[4th gen Suthen']

what Tom Petty song....Mary Jane by any chance?

aye

.... the moral of this is, be wary of ebay guitar strings !!!

"But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights"

Great stuff........I thought it would be that one.....Johnny raved about that particular track to me for years before I ever heard it.........
I know it wasn't Johnny that played it........but I know the connection.

Some say it sounds like Danni California...........in fact Tom and the R H C Ps do!

.... not to mention Sweet Home Alabama !!!

but yes, Dani California is Mary Jane with Purple Haze tacked on at the end.

[general jack o'niell]

its just not one of my favs and i am the original tom petty fan

sweet homes alright, but leave freebird alone unless you can play it better than "our kid" which i've yet to hear anyone do, ask jamie bout the 17 min version on the 4th of july, get him to tell you what happened after the guy came up and asked the band wot we were drinking!!!! thats hospitality!!!
