  Subject: [Blueplanes] 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
