Yesterday in another incident that proves I should work in HMV, I wandered in there to ask them about their instore gig for The Enemy later that day. They went to go ask someone the answers to my questions, came back, told me the answers and then asked me what band was playing. That person works there with a t-shirt saying staff in capital letters on their back. Surely they should know.
Anyway, hours later I found myself back there at the back of a crowd waiting for The Enemy to take to the stage and for me to find out if the bass player really is cute.*
They took to the stage and played four or five songs. They sounded great and reminded me how much I love live music. They launched into Away from Here and I was reminded of how I used to blast it out my iPod wishing that I could be anywhere but where I was. Funny how things change. I give anything to be back there. Well not anything, most things; I mean I wouldn't trade my pirate ship or anything like that.


*The answer is yes.
