what a dick
So, I'm going to be an extra in this movie that's shooting in Belfast, and I just got told my days are 26th, 27th and 28th of August.
Oh, and they're now night shoots. Isn't that great!? From 6 pm to 6 am the following day. Which means I'm finishing just before breakfast the day we go to play this show in Derry.
Can I do this? After 3 nights of night-shoots? I really don't want to be flopping around the stage like some sort of barely comatose fool. I'm kind of hoping the running order resembles the poster a bit, as I might be able to grab some shut eye for a while then.
Looks like it may be another Red Bull fuelled set.
Plus, this gig is actually on my birthday, and we'd been planning to spend the weekend there, maybe even kick back in Derry until the Monday, which is a Bank Holiday. But I've been told I'll definitely be working on the 31st, so no Bank Holiday for this scruffy peasant!
I think, and I could be wrong, that it's a combination of me being a fat bastard, and not having anything in my hands aside from a microphone.
That's why I need to get me some decent mic-age!
Anyway, this pic is by the always excellent Phil O'Kane. Someday soon I'm going to insist on him doing a shoot of us.
I mean to say, there were loads of great pics of us on the day, yet this is the one on the BBC flickr page.
I look like I'm in the middle of a how-down that no-one else cares about. Still, maybe I'll get the time together to create a Black Bear Saloon flickr tag and I'll share that.
