Franz Ferdinand storm Alexandra Palace

After 101 train changes Dan and I arrived at (insert station name here) and wandered into the nearest pub, The Gate. No one to be found. Calls made.

“Oh, you’re not there yet? Thought you were gonna be there from 4? It’s called the Starting Gate? Oh, it WAS called the Starting Gate.. “.

Inside for a pint, my drinking ban disappearing faster than you can say “Dan, can I borrow 20 quid?”.

Soon spotted Leeds Paul and Co. approaching..

Then Shaun and 10? cohorts arrive..

And then..

I’ve left this post way too long and I’m giving up. Franz Ferdinand rock in the studio and they rock live. Had a frickin’ ball!! They rocked the house!! (insert a bunch more sickly-sweet positive remarks here!)
