Lovebox

Yes, it's that time of year again - my birthday, when they throw a huge festival next door to my house in my honour. Let me just check out who is playing on the Saturday...

Sly and the Family Stone!!
*faints*

Okay, who else?

Blondie!!!
*faints again*











I truly can't believe that Sly Stone (I didn't even know he was still alive) and Deborah Harry, two of my absolute musical heroes, are going to be playing on the same day, a mere stone's throw from my house, and on my birthday - it is surely just some cruel hoax on the part of the universe?

I don't think either of them looks quite that good now.

wv = "ffuxm". Hmmm....

There's also some festival in Victoria Park on 11 August. Why does Hackney get all the fun?

I will go!!! I am pretty sure I am home that weekend. You know how much I love Deborah - do you think I need a ticket first or get on the day? I am your new neighbor again by the way.
BS xx

Happy Birthday Annie and also why did nothing happen in Bow when I lived there and now it has all this stuff and a green bridge.

Definitely a birthday gift from the unknown and unseen, I get them most years too!

Cor. Are you gonna go? Hackney seems to be making a fortune out of its parks lately, there was StokeFest yesterday - went past Clissold Park and it is full of rubbish. Hooligans.

I know so many people whose birthdays are between 20th and 30th July. Including my own. Spooky.

I thought Sly died years ago, but strangely not... Can't believe he's playing. And as for Blondie - wow!

Annie said...

Tim, right, this is the dilemma - it could be a crushing disappointment, or it could be the best thing ever.

Billy, that'll be the Field Day festival - featuring something called Bloggers Delight - www.fielddayfestivals.com/
I don't like to brag, but we've got it all here in Hackney...

Sarah - hurrah! You know it makes sense...

Realdoc - I know he's controversial, but I credit our Ken with a lot of the music festivals & all the fun stuff like the Sultan's Elephant, etc...

Rehan, the unknown and the unseen ones are the best.

Violet, I surely am. I went to Stokefest, it was a bit full-on for me, must be old age. Having a birthday in the summer is a good thing, especially when you're at school and don't have to be at work.

Quink, he dropped off the radar. Could be genius or he may not even turn up...

Oh god - when is it? Sly? Debbie Harry? My two most favourite icons of all time! And it's your birthday too...when is it? Sorry I didn't click on the link - was too excited about commenting. x

rockmother said...

And Toots and the Maytals and New Young Pony Club and Super Furry Animals and B52's and Goldirocks! Ohmygod!

Annie said...

Ah, thanks Alda - it's in July, I was just getting excited.

RoMo, come and play! I'm just going on the Saturday but it's on over the weekend.
