The Finnish Connection
I’m shattered. I went to Wednesday 13 last night with Katy. The show was great. They were supported by Zombina and the Skeletons, who I wasn’t at all keen on and the 69 Eyes who were very good. At the beginning of the 69 Eyes set Katy informed me that she was going to perve and I wouldn’t see her again for the rest of their set, she thrust ten quid at me to get myself some drinks and disappeared. She’s nuts! Then Wednesday 13 came on and they were fantastic. They got the whole crowd to chant fuck along with “I love to say Fuck” and it was really funny watching these two 12 or 13 year old girls, who were accompanied by their less-than-impressed parents, screaming “FUCK!” with their fingers in the air. After the gig Katy and I stayed at Russel’s again then I had to go back to work the next morning.
I had left my car at Bluewater overnight so I got a train back to Greenhithe to get the bus to work. While I was waiting for the bus this blond lady came over and asked me in a foreign accent if that was where you got the bus to Bluewater from. I told her it was and we started talking. She told me she only worked at Bluewater a few times a month and had never gone there on her own before. I told her where I worked and she said she might come in later to buy the Him album. After we got off the bus we were walking through M&S and I asked her where she was from originally. She told me she was from Finland and I said I thought she might have been because she liked Him. I asked her if she liked the 69 Eyes and it turns out she used to know them as she used to date the Manager of The Rasmus. What were the odds of that, there was only one person on the bus and she happened to know the band I saw the night before. Freaky.
