Moderately Messy Monday

I'm feeling really rough this morning but that's partly because I decided to ditch my bed in favour for the sofa at Chris, Stoobie's etc, and that I've got a rather snotty nose and a poorly throat which isn't too good.

Despite that last night went well although the turnout was moderate compared to past Smoke nights. The bar staff and a few of the customers including Edders, and James Rowney from the first year Film students were enjoying my soul set although Paul Calvert started asking me to play stuff from Lonnie Liston Smith and George Duke which I hadn't put onto the CDs I was using. It may be an idea to start burning my MP3s onto audio CDs and Sarah, one of the bar girls said it maybe possible to come in to play this sort of music more reguarly to provide a nice chilled atmosphere to the bar in the warm months.

In between the soul and cheese sets I spent most of the time outside where Oli P was talking to Sami about what appears to be his obsession; The Smoke Radio Comittee and who will be in it next year. Denis was also present as well as Phil L who wasn't too happy about the Leeds United result from earlier in the day.

I can't really remember what else happened to be honest but the cheese set managed to get people dancing where I played some of the obvious tunes such as "Summertime" by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, "MmmBop" by Hanson" as well as a few odd choices such as "Hot Hot Hot" by Arrow.
By the time it was all finished I was drunk enough to head back to Chris, Stoobie and Denis's etc although for some reason Denis went back to his old house for the night.
As was the case last time I spent the night on the sofa switching between The Vault and VH1 Classics falling asleep at around 3am whilst spending the rest of the time thinking about my main meal the next day which more recently seems to have become an obsession despite trying to watch my weight.

I reckon I'll go for the simple option of chicken and pasta at around lunchtime as it's quite a busy evening tonight with the Smoke Radio Pub Quiz followed hopefully by a visit to Trinity. Although the guys have been nice enough to let me stay on their sofa I reckon I'll spend the night in my own bed if I'm tired enough by the end.
