Following an unusually hearty breakfast in the most agreeable company of Le Agent Gig Provocateur, Mr.Farmer, spent a few hours resetting-up the mini-studio and getting rid of the remainder of the gig's paraphernalia.
So, dear drugsters, it is with a heart filled with light joy and a voice inside now whispering: "beware of the impulse buy, crazy child", that I offer you a close-up of that most unsuitable gig-wear: 2 sizes bigger than my own, bought on Ebay for less than a fiver, and lasted oh...I'd say....half a block before I even got into soundcheck, sent promoter on emergency errand looking for super-glue and depleted the venue and both bands of all available gaffa-tape.
I was just about to throw those infamous pair of boots away, when decided to take a quick shot, before sending it to its final destination= the bin.
It's often a sign that we are indeed ready to move forward, once the source of pain and disaster, has turned into an item deserving of ridicule and laughter.
The Dingwalls chapter is now closed.

Looks like an agonizing out-of-water fish, the right one, with its "mouth" opened lol! If by any chance next gig also takes place at Dingwalls, you might consider wandering in Camden market for the next pair. ;)
Bye bye black boots, rest in peace!
Why don't you put them BACK on eBay? I'm sure their value must now be several times what you paid for them, since they now have provenance, and are now a part of Drugstore history!
now here, Mr Robins, about time you put your horse where yr mouth is, or vice versa-
so what's your 1st bid gonna be then...?

Or let people have them as a reward for winning the forthcoming fun competition lol! ;)
mind you...following competition has something to do with going down on drugstore's history...but not falling down from it...

more to follow next week...
Why do women always seem to buy shoes that do not fit? My wife buys shoes and then wears them out and complains they make her feet hurt!!! Never takes them back either, if they are lucky they end up in a charity bag. Very impressed with the size of the heels on the boots though..amazes me that you can walk in them..
Steve, that has to be with the expression "one has to suffer to be beautiful" (just translated word to word the French expression, dunno if there's an equivalent in English?). ;)
Anyway, still can't help laughing when I'm watching at the poor agonizing shoe as it now reminds me a little story - and you'll see the connection with the fish! ;)
My sister was little at the time, we were at the seaside with parents and as we were catching prawns, sometimes we would also get a goby fish... Once, with the genuine innocence of young children, my sister had taken a big enough goby in her little hand, out of the water, and with as genuine expression of surprise she had exclaimed: "Oh, it opens its mouth! Mum, the goby opens its mouth!" She found it amusing without imagining the poor fish was just suffocating! We had a good laugh about it and the fish was eventually rescued, put back into the sea where it belonged...
Now I hope she doesn't find out I wrote that or she's gonna want to kill me lol!
loved the fish story.
as for steve's amazement at me being able to walk in them boots... well, I did try, very, very hard, but, just couldn't crack the code!

You may not have cracked the code Isabel, but you certainly cracked the boots.........
