Claire, Allison, David, Tamsen, Greg, Lenni, Drew, Adrean, Stich, Brenda. All of the preceding people helped make last weekend (plus two vacation days) one of the most fun and unique I’ve had in some time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

David and Tamsen were kind enough to come out to see Claire Jenkins<\/a>‘ London debut<\/a> with special guest Allison Brown<\/a> at The Ugly Mug<\/a>. After their performance the five of us talked music, movies, websites and psychology for several hours at a favourite restaurant<\/a> (even moreso now because they didn’t kick us out for grossly overstaying our welcome).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I’d made plans with Brenda, one of my favourite musicians<\/a> and a talented voiceover artist, to see Lenni<\/a>‘s show on Monday before giving her a ride to London, but inexplicably had neglected to inform Greg of the gig in advance. Fortunately I was able to get hold of him at the last minute, and so the three of us enjoyed each other’s company (and Lenni and trio<\/a>, naturally) at the packed venue<\/a> before heading out just after midnight. A couple of solid hours of singer-songwriters on CD and wide-ranging conversation later (including, finally, an answer to my question<\/a>: it’s not by choice) Brenda and I hit London and parted ways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As a fitting coda to the long musical weekend, on Tuesday I returned to the Ugly Mug, this time to pick up a long-lost album of photos. I’ll be adding them to the Sirens website<\/a> RSN<\/abbr>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Next up: Andrew, Scott, Donna, Rufus, Emm and Dayna.<\/p><\/div>
