I was shattered as we set off for the gig at around 09:30am i hadn't slept much the night before due to excitement.
We set off following the route back to Darlington to the A1 motorway now don't ask which way after that we went cos i was in the back and not driving Stu was and John was navigating, Lou and i were sat in the back doing what we do best talking and singing way to random tunes on the cd player.
We arrived in Stourbridge around 14:30pm and headed to the hotel to book in and to find somewhere to eat as it was the restaraunt in the hotel was closed so we headed to the bargin booze and got snacky things and headed back to the hotel again.
After eating we opened up the various bottles and cans of alcomafrol we'd brought with us and proceeded to start to get ready at around half four time (well a girl has gotta look georgeous when you have a couple of rock sex gods to contend with) we'd booked our taxi for half six and at quarter two i still hadn't got my corset on or quite finished my make up and hair :/ but by quarter past i was ready to go and by twenty passed we wre stood outside the hotel waiting for the taxi which duly arrived i must point out the taxi driver had no ide where we were going.
AAARRRGH!! we thought but luckily for us i spotted the venue and we embarked to be met by Eddie Moohan as we walked round the corner who is as lovely in real life as i thought he would be with a cheeky look down at my norks that we trying to escape the corset Lou & I got told "you two better be at the front" to which we replied "We will be don't worry".
At this point they hadn't done sound check so the venue wasn't open so off we toddled to find the nearest pub well Stu and John toddled off leaving Lou & I waiting for them, well we waited and waited and they never came back so off we went back to the venue to wait for them seemed the only sensible thing to do :s and of course they turned up saying "Oh we had a pint in some pub" not impressed we weren't as we were gasping for a drink, so we were sttod outside the RiverRooms watching the lads try and do sound check i have no idea how they managed it with us bouncing about outside and heckling them to hurry up as we wanted a drink and making them giggle i really have no idea how Nick managed to sing or Karl managed to hit those damn drums poor Eddie i noticed fell over his feet watching us and this had Brian in fits of giggles.
Finally we were allowed in the venue and introductions were made to the lads etc, after getting Lou into her corset Lou & I duly took our places in front of the mic stand and the drum kit were we hell as like moving and i pinched a cable tidy for Lou which belonged to Nick but shhhhh he doesn't know YET!!
I can tell you we were hyped out of trees at this point and obviously wanted to hear them play which they did at around 21:30pm we bounced and bounced some more whilst singing our heads off and downing umpteen shots of Sambuca and Apple Sourz in the end we had to start drinking the Cherry Sourz yeah we'd drunk a full bottle of Smabuca and Apple Sourz that night to ourselves .
Some point in the night i got handed one of Karls used drumsticks which promptly went down my corset well the safest place i thought was in my norks i'd feel anyone trying to pinch em well this just got Eddies dirty mind working over time and he stuck his bass down em much to everyones surprise and this set everyone around of into fits of laughter and poor Nick was trying to sing bless him and the bloke stood next to me was laughing like mad.
After they had finished the set and got changed they came out to chat with people and have numerous pics taken with fans, yep i got my pic taken with Karl and i was a very very happy bunny, we had gotten Nicks and Karls setlist which was signed by all the band members, a short while later i asked Karl to sign the drumsticks that were firmly in my norks i was pointing to them in anycase but Karl took it upon himself to sign my right nork no complaints from me i can tell you (*Ooooo now what i wouldn't do with him*) and we got pics of it and yes i am going soon to have it tattoo'd pics and vid to follow.
We spent some time with the lads having a few drinks and talking as you do after a gig, and Lou & I went outside to say our goodbyes to them all, Nick left with Abbz and Karl left with Eddie in a taxi before leaving Karl kissed Lou on hte cheek and said goodbye and walked over to me and i wasn't sure which side he was going to so i'd turned my head one way and then the other and as i turned to the left he smacked the lips on me and it was a OMG!! moment everyones jaw hit the deck and i couldn't stop smiling all the way back to the hotel.
We got back tot he hotel at around 1am thoroughly tired out and with sore feet, all i wanted was my bed and to sleep but my legs had other ideas and kept going into cramp so i spent half the night up and down trying to ease them off, We left the hotel next morning at about 10:00am to head back north on the motorway yet that didn't go to plan as we spent an hour stuck in a stationary traffic jam cos a white van driver had crashed his van into the central resivation and it closed both sides of the motorway, we were hungry, thirsty and wanted to stretch our legs and visit the littlest room in any house finally we spotted a sign for BK and we ate, drank and visited the littlest room ahhhhh so much better.
So off we set again and started singing random songs again until Nellie the Elephant came on by the Toy Dolls which had us all singing at the top of our vioces, we got back to Chopwell at around 5pm had coffee and looked at the gig pics that Lou & Stu had taken and laughed at some of the things the lads were up to that night..
All i can say is we had a bloody fantastic night at the RiverRooms in Stourbridge with a bloody brilliant band who are not only lovely lovely guys to talk to but a fantastic band to watch live..
All there is left to say is ROLL ON FEBRUARY and Newcastle 02 Academy..
