Bunch of school night gigs

Culminating a long MOG absence, and after a summer living out of a suitcase, I've just moved to a new country and city. I'm still in the process of getting my life, both working and personal, going. Just last night, I spent 5 hours unpacking and organizing CDs. I'm trying to find out where to get good bread, good cheese, fresh herbs. And so on. Hopefully more regular MOGging will also resume. I've also somehow managed to amass 7 shows to attend in the next month, many of them week nights. So I actually welcome the UK hangover from what used to be early pub closures whereby gigs still tend to be done by 11pm. You can be musically active without compromising your other commitments. (Old farts rejoice!) Tomorrow night is my first gig in my new city, at a venue (The Cockpit) where I'll be seeing half a dozen other gigs in the next few of months. And it'll be the Wire, who are still putting out potent stuff that doesn't need to feel ashamed (well, not much anyway) next to their late '70s classic triumvirate of Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154. Their new release from this July, Object 47, feels too safe and clinical, and too eager to please, during its first half, but comes into its abrasive own during the second half, as "Hard Currency" under the red button attests.
How have you all been?

Good seeing you back here Pekka, getting settled in and all.
Any idea why the font in this post came out so small? Regardless, early shows, I miss them, nothing gets started around here until late night and long asleep...old farts rejoice indeed:)
Good luck with the gig and
Mog

B, the font looks normal to me. I didn't get a notification for it tho.
See you at Glasvegas, Cajun Dance Party, Late of the Pier and Duke Spirit (with so much musical goodness, climate gets a new perspective, eh?). I'll get to make those reviews btw. Deal deal deal!
Here's to you MOGging more, old fart :)
The fonts normal now, weird,...
I wouldn't mind joining y'all at Cajun Dance Party but it's a bit of a trek, have fun!
Hey welcome to london...
ya, its great,,, all gigs end before eleven usually.. but don't worry... having a hangover at work is looked at in admiration in the UK, so you're in the clear!
