Earlier that day......
"Sophie: So Isi put us on the guest list for their show at the metro last week which was Digitalism sorted. who's this Lidell guy you've been telling me about?
Nic: JAMIE LIDELL aka GOD AMONG MEN. A skinny white boy with the soul of a motown hero - HOW CAN YOU BE UNAWARE OF HIS GLORIOUS EXISTENCE?
Sophie: Ok we must know someone that can put us on the door right...
10 minutes later....
Nicole: Sorted?
Sophie: yup"
And so the night began with a few staple gin and tonics at the Cricketers and Zan retelling the story of his girlfriend dumping him by means of ice coffee move. Zan is now writing a stern letter to the manufacturers of said ice coffee beverage company, holding them wilfully responsible for the collapse of his relationship. "Dear Move Corp. I feel I am owed an apology and compensation by means of either A) money or B) a new and prettier replacement girlfriend.... "
Sophie: and then we left for Guestlist Event #1. This had better be good Nic....
Nicole: Ahhhh Sophie. My love. My sweet, sweet darling girl. JUST WAIT.
Sophie: I take back any apprehension, it was amazing... Tell the part about dying every night...
Nicole: So the title track on Jamie's latest album Jim is called 'Another Day' - he went into this song and said he believes that the end of each day is a death, so the next day is a rebirth. Which means you have a chance to start all over again, and the past doesn't matter. Which I thought was pretty amazing, it really touched me actually. Especially when I realised it meant I could forget the time I talked about salad for 30 minutes to someone I didn't know. Oh look I'm talking about salad again.....
Sophie: and then on to Guestlist Event #2. Now usually you're told you're on a guestlist and you arrive, she checks her clipboard, name's not there, you ask her to check again, still not there, you spell your surname "yep it's with an I not a U". Nope, sorry you're not on the list. But this time we were not only on the list but given AAA passes and told we were "invited to the after-party backstage"
Nicole: if you've been to the Metro you'll know there isn't really a backstage area as such...
Sophie: So she means a party in the dressing room....
Nicole: Exactly. Ew. The sleaze. The ugly photographer ogling me was kind of the cherry on the sundae really....They didn't even have enough alcohol. The gig was good though right? I mean.... I'm not sure because I was distracted by all the guys taking their shirts off, sweatily dancing. And I don't mean that in a good way. The highlight was when Zan and I witnessed the frantic moves of one chem-sweat soaked guy result in such a pooling of sweat on the floor, that a guy walking past actually slipped over in it....
Sophie: The played a good set. Haven’t really seen the Metro that nuts before.
Nicole: Not really my scene as it turns out. But I was sticking it out for you Soph. Wingman. That's what they call me. I mean it's only fair - I got to see Jamie, I accompany you to Digitalism
Sophie: if there was some type of Oscars Awards for wingman-ism you’d be Meryl Streep.
Nicole: Is it rude to say Dan Single and Mark Hunter are tragic, ugly, old and make me really sad? Well I said it anyway.... What was your highlight of the night Soph?
Sophie: leaving? Nah. The text from Isi 10 mins after we left was sweet. Nice to know he missed us! I’ll end this post with the FB message he sent me last night.
