Evening everybody,
 
Okay, so it's not an account of Crunch, it's an account of the evening after, but I just got home from an absolutely mad weekend!  I was so disappointed to not be able to make it into town to see Crunch and the rest of you on Friday, but there was no can do.  I've heard some fantastic reports from Em and Sophie already, so it sounds like those of you who did go had a blast!  I look forward to hearing the rest of your reviews really soon.
 
Well, after missing out on Friday (the ticket is still blue tacked to my wall) I rang round to see who was still in town for a quick drink on Saturday.  I finally arrived outside the SpreadEagle at 9pm, with only half an hour for a quick drink and hellos before they were off to see Cheryl's mates play at The Verge.
I was greeted by Sarah with massive hugs and dragged inside to find Bex, Scatty (sober... well, kind of) Vince, Vince, Chris and James and "WAAYY! IT'S CAZ!"
Oh btw guys, I came home to find a very strange message on my answer machine... I wonder who that was... ;o)  naming no names of course... Mr Scahill & Mr Carden!!!!!!
 
Well, the kind hearted souls that us Madness fans are, they wouldn't let me leave and miss out on another night's festivities, so Cheryl very kindly offered to put me up for the night.
As you can imagine, the topic of my, ahem, sanity came up in conversation with Vince several times last night, but I'll leave the newest insight into the dreams fiasco for Vince to tell all when he gets home.  An intriguing idea came from it too... but I have a feeling you'll have to wait for that one... ;o)
Were you being serious Vince?  I bloody well hope so!
 
We moved off to The Verge & waited for Freefall to come on stage.  They were fantastic!  Everyone was impressed and I know their following has already increased after last night.  Cheers to Cheryl for giving us a chance to see them play!
The club started filling up and more and more pints seemed to be magically disappeared by Saint Scaticus.  Yeah mate, we love you too... yes Scatty, we love you okay?
 
Night getting on, few more drinks, bitta' air, getting covered in Carlsberg, Vince Foley having a bit too much and ending up leaning against a postbox.
Me:  Is he gonna be okay?
Vince C:  Yeah, he's just waiting for the post.
You're right Vince, lame but hilarious! ;o)
 
Lots of celebs in the club; Blur, Sarah Kawood... ermm... can't remember anyone else...
 
Anyway, after a small hiccup into the evening where our Sarah wasn't feeling all too well, everyone decided to call it a night.  Well, I say everyone... the Vinces said their goodbyes and Becky and Sarah left for their hotel in a cab... Scat was left dancing the night away.  Chel and I caught a cab home & finally crashed into bed at 5am.
 
I was pleasantly woken 2 hours later with a facial from Flap the cat... hehe luuuuvely!!
I then enjoyed a pleasant day around the market looking for Madness merchandise and a mooch round Covent Garden for the limited edition cherry reds the Dr Marten store put out last year.  No such luck, but it was a lovely day all the same.
 
Not Crunch! but still fabulous company!
I'll just have to look forward to the next set of gigs... it sounds promising!
 
Look forward to reading about the rest of the weekend shortly,
 
Caz
