Two bottles of Merlot later...

So I'm forgiven?  Absolved by way of Macky and the boys?  Top!  :o)  
[And HOW unexpected was the shooting of Connie??!!  I nearly fell off 
the sofa!]
Saw Gerard yesterday - he was in London having a meeting with some guy 
who's interested in re-releasing Swagger.. or else it was about the 
release of Altitude (the new CD).. or something... He had a big bag of 
all the Aeroplanes stuff with him and waffled on for ages trying to 
explain to me why, but I'm a simple fan and got a bit blinded by 
science to be honest!  I think it was about a few things, all geared 
towards getting CD's (new, old and/or a singles album) released... but 
it will come as no surprise to learn that after the third round, I 
changed the subject!  (Have learned that if you don't do this 
eventually, the man will enter Pop World for the whole night and I 
don't really speak the language!)
Any road up, a few extra's which I am allowed to report...  According 
to Gerard, Altitude is his best album since Swagger.  He loves it, very 
proud of it and guess what - there's an aeroplane on the cover.
December gig - Get there early-ish coz there's two supports!  No 
waiting around freezing yer tits off in silence til 11pm this year 
apparently, hooorah!  First support is a young lady who's getting a bit 
of a name and has various named musicians etc. playing with her and 
wanting to work with her, second support is ummm.... I forget - but 
Gerard says they're brilliant - Fuzz something or other...  (Flakey?  
ME??!).  Ooooh, and the reason that they have gone on so late in recent 
years is, he says, because the guy that runs The Fiddlers always puts 
the time back as long as people are still coming through the door!  
Gerard said he's always ready to go on from about 9.00, but this Irish 
guy is always telling him to hang on another half hour.  That would 
explain a few things then!
I confessed about the questions interview thing and he laughed!  
Sensibly suggested that I should have taken the questions with me 
yesterday and we could've done it then.  State the bleedin' obvious, 
why don't ya!  We've arranged to do it over the phone one night next 
week, so it's in the bag.  I did say I'd post them to him and he could 
just answer them and post it back, but he reckons that the answers 
would be too constructed that way, not natural enough (*sigh*)!  (And 
don't even get me started on 'why can't you email them to him?" - 
computers + Gerard...?  I'd have more luck teaching my gran to 
break-dance!)
And that's about it.  Yet another long post - but you made it!
Cheers!
Lis
