Bus talk

Whilst riding the bus to my photography class at Morley College, a guy sat next to me and started unwrapping his new Pixies DVD. He looked at the photos and read the liner notes on the insert. When he was putting the DVD back in his bag, I had to ask him if he had seen the show last month. He had. And like Brian, he had to pay a lot of money through eBay to get tickets.

Back in his school days, he and his mates would discuss what band they'd most like to see if they ever reformed. The Pixies were the unanimous top choice. So when he heard the Pixies were coming to London, he was going to do whatever it took to get tickets for them all. His mates came down from the North and they all went to the show together. What a great story! I'm glad I asked.
