darebear Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 morning. mumble bloody grumble. rant coming.... be warned. so yesterday i set off with my friend laurie to go to manchester apollo to see evanescence play one of only two tour dates this year. i've been a few times to this venue before, so reckoned i could remember the way. (errrr.... ) ...........end up lost in manchester. city centre. with no clue as to where i am going. thankfully scaffy saves the day and randomly phones me from the rig. 'arghhhhhhhh help steve, we're lost'. *swears down i can hear him grinning* so scaffy pegs it along to the computer room and goes online to find a map of the city centre. what a star. in the meantime whilst he's looking for where on earth we are, we flag down a traffic warden. he ever so kindly suggests we follow him in his van which was conveniently parked beside us. see? traffic wardens do have a purpose in life. a bit of eyelash fluttering and hey presto, our own personal guide meanwhile steve is on the other end of the phone making sure this dude is taking us to the right place. thankfully he was. we eventually get to the apollo...... to find out the gig had been cancelled! !"£$%^&*()_+=-#~';@:<>? to say the least. so we, along with a whole load of other disgruntled and peed off fans, ended up in the pub next to the venue. 320 mile round trip for the sake of a bottle of beer. i wouldnt have minded if it had been a friday or saturday night. i could at least have gone clubbing. but a tuesday? ? ? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

pavman Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Normally my thought train would be; two things spring to mind, one a female with a notion she has a clue how to get from point A to point B without a male to assist and 2 evanescence! is that some kind of perfume!!! whilst I can emphasise with the plight of any young lady in such a predicament Harry Enfield pointed out they should really stick to fluffy Kittens and embroidery and let a man take care of such things as logistics and transport, Of course that would not be my thoughts in this case but it just goes to show how wrong a guy can be, which is probably why I am always in trouble with mrs p, so lessons learnt by me will be applied and I hope you have better luck next time, its harsh to go to all that trouble only to find the concert cancelled, hope you got your money back? and dont mind the leg pulling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I see evanescence are descibed as an 'alternative' band. Guess that explains it...the alternative to listening to their music is not listening to their music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 qued for 6 hours in the rain yesterday to see muse at wembly, right at the front, great gig well worth the 6 hours of freezing to death and getting rained on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Evanescence are great! Shame the gig was cancelled at such short notice, I'm glad I didn't try to go now! They may be classed as "alternative", but anything alternative to justin timberlake and akon is most welcome in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
