Athlete

Did you have fun in the snow last night? Did it take you eight hours to go 200 metres? Ben and I had tickets to see Athlete in Nottingham so we drove there, saw the band and one of the two support bands (the excellent and aptly named Snow Patrol) drove home and by the end of the night had driven 130 miles in just over three hours. Got out of the car in Nottingham and fell over on the road because of the ice. Got home and fell over on the pavement because of the ice.

Athlete were excellent. They played the whole of Vehicles and Animals and three new songs. Every one was sing-a-longable. Ben said his back was sore so I rubbed it a bit and he said everyone in the club will think we're gay now. He misses the student life. I realised that five years on from my back injury I can now stand at a gig all night without pain. Big up to exercise.
