Last weekend and concert bootleg

Happy (belated) Birthday maxi47 and Happy Birthday qotfu!

I had a lovely weekend away, visiting i_naiad. It was a very relaxed time, including much watching of various things (I think 6 eps of Due South season 3 which have hooked her, some Take That (oh lord, the slashiness!) and the world's weirdest Nsync press conference from Mexico). Ned and Leny (aka the Theban Band) had a few local slashers over on the Saturday night, and it was great to catch up with them, thebitchtrolls, julad and lastrega. I got to see (and enjoyed) my first episode of House, the Theban Band's artwork being shown off by Elijah Wood on Graham Norton, and the Peter Wingfield ep of Smallville. That's only the second ep of the current season I've seen, and I'm not feeling the urge to rush off and watch more. It was very lame, and Peter's accent was incredibly bad. But much fun was had mocking it. The oddest thing we watched was a short bizarre but fascinating claymation piece about Achilles and Patrocles. This is so being shown at Sinpozium (we all begged for and got copies *g*).

So yes, a great weekend. Just don't ask about the dead fish flinging incident.

Oooh, iibnf, I read the first book of His Dark Materials on the way up and back. I really enjoyed it. As soon as exam on Thursday is done with, I'll be starting book 2 :)

And, as promised, here's the rest of the bootleg concert that I posted Don't Want You Back from last week. Not the whole concert, but it's all I've got and I haven't seen anymore on the Hub.

Please don't direct link to the files or link to my journal on message boards. Right click and save (or equivalent), don't stream the files, thanks.

I haven't had a chance to watch much of it yet. Some is of the stage, some is filmed from the big screen. DWYB is pornolicious, Kevin has good reflexes to avoid being hit in the head with something thrown from the crowd in Perfect Fan, Brian and Nick have their own special little dance towards the end of Get Down.

First BSB show in NY tomorrow, wheeee! I can't wait for lots of reports, pictures, clips (if we're lucky) *g*. ETA: a long coherently written report on the Force of Nature concert is here.
