Pimms o'clock anyone?
Jul. 28th, 2008 12:39 amSo this weekend I made my way to Clapham Common for Ben & Jerry's Sundae on the Common for a day of music, free ice-cream and hugging giant eight-foot chickens who were nobly braving heat exhaustion on behalf of the RSCPA. A general, fun, family day out. Good times.
Musical summing up: ( The bands were generally less memorable than last year, but still - The Troubadours, The Brightlights, Florence and the Machine, Charlotte Hatherley, Delays, Guillemots, and The Charlatans... )
Still, even if the music was a bit too serious for a day of ice-cream and Pimms, it was still a good day. We got free pancakes from the RSPCA, we marvelled at the air guitarists, and then two of the mates took out general frustration on each other on the FairTrade banana jousting (think 'Duel' in Gladiators, except over a bouncy castle and with inflatable bananas rather than pugel sticks).
Today I also caught the last episode of Top Gear. It was entertaining, and I'm sad to see this series over so quickly, a little because it just hasn't had the spark of some of the previous series. Not enough Stig, not enough of the three of them just cocking about and accidentally setting fire to things... it's like they think we're honestly watching this for the cars. Pffft.
I also caught some of the reports filtering out about John Barrowman, Gareth David-Lloyd and Naoko Mori at the San Diego Comic-Con. Highlights have been JB and NM singing a duet from Miss Saigon, and pictures of JB and GDL in green fairy wings that were apparently being handed out free from a Disney stall. Ah fandom :)
