Conundrum
I have a conundrum:
Next week, on the 11th there are two shows I could go to:
The first is Bolt Thrower (british death/grind pioneers) at the Underworld here in London.
The Second would be the amusingly named Kunt, an Australian Electro-Cabaret act from Brisbane featuring my old friend Lulu. That show would be in Brighton.
Kunt also play Colchester on the 13th, but that night I am going to see The Scare, mostly because it would make a great review for Fasterlouder, given that it is their first show in London (but not in the UK), and being the arrogant sods that they are, it will be interesting to see how they go down.
I really want to go see Kunt and lend my support to Lulu, who I haven't seen since I left Australia. But I do really feel like getting my face blasted with some war-grind, and Bolt Thrower, being a tad advanced in years as far as Death Metal Bands go, don't tour that often.
Kunt are, of course, playing some other shows around the way. After their shows in the south of England, they are going to be playing one show in Newcastle, and one in Paris.
This afternoon in the Mac shop, I was checking the availability and cost of travel to either Paris or Newcastle. A train ride to Newcastle will take me over three hours, at least. I can get a train ticket to Newcastle for £10 (I'd have to buy another one to get back) but that train leaves from Victoria at 0549. The tubes don't start going from Leytonstone until 0533. Which would mean that I would have to dice it out with nightbuses or something to get to the station on time.
Getting to Paris... I could fly there, but it would be a bit more expensive. Like £31 each way.
Getting down to Brighton might not be cheap either, but I can do it at my leisure (and now that I know how to book cheaper train tickets...).
I think my biggest fear, if I do book a ticket to somewhere, is that I will sleep through my alarm and miss getting on. Let's face it, I have slept through more important things in my life.
Conundrum Conundrum Conundrum.
Either pondering for tonight.
I'm going home.
Over and out.
