How fat can Tuesday be? Really?

Well here we are again,

I've been trying to think of anything amusing that has happened recently I can relate to you now. Nothing is scurrying to mind, so I'm just going to start talking and see where we end up.

Over the weekend I went to the Mardis Gras in Cardiff. Why on earth someone thought putting 'Fat Tuesday' (i.e. Shrove Tuesday) on a Saturday in the middle of September was clever escapes me. There were absolutely no pancakes involved and it chucked it down, but still a great day to be had. Including perfomances from Big Brovaz (obviously the junkie's out of prison), Infernal ("Frrrrrrrrrrrooooom Paris to Berlin....), two fifths of Blazin' Squad (Somehow, even though I hate them passionately, I knew the words) and a host of gay 'celebrities'. I did make one new find I quite enjoyed the musical stylings of a group called Swich 22, the self titled Superheroes of Pop.

Oh and a brand new boyband that takes manufactured pop to a new extreme - taking old members from now spilt up boybands and smooshing them into some insanely contrived amalgamation of evil. All pecs and scantily clad pretty boys singing about the women they 'fancy' while all probably boinking behind stage between sets. You gotta love it. I's almost ashamed to admit that I did. They were called 'Upper Street' and were constructed of Bradley from S Club 7, Jimmy from 911, Dane Bowers of Another Level and an ex-member of New Kids on the Block who shall remain nameless. Mostly because I can't remember it. Feel free to let me know if anyone out there has any clue.

Sadly I couldn't find anything on YouTube for any of these bands. So much for them wanting to have every music video ever made on there! What I did find though after searching 'Final Fantasy' was a rather amusing parody of a FF random encounter. I have been playing a fair amount of Final Fantasy VII recently, trying to level characters up, so it is relevent. Also - can 9 hours in one day be considered a fair amount? Answers on the back of a postcard...



Oh and the Wales Millenium Centre had a stall that I used to hide for much of the rain chatting to Karyn (Hello Karyn!) and eating their sweets. So I feel complled to give the a mention as way of thanks. Go to the WMC, it's fab. Also they're having the Russian Ice Stars perfomming Swan Lake on Ice. Thus you should go.
