Well, are you?

I know it's a bit fecking commercial, but it is usually a laugh. And I see that that Miss Church will be performing :eek: , which seems a tiny bit of a cut above the cover band crap that they usually put on the main stage, so weather permitting etc etc etc.

Anyone else attending? I take it we can count on SeniorSbagliato...? I still have the photo from he/her/its attendance two years ago :p

So many Mardi Gras events these days and none of them are ever held on the appropriate day.

Yep. I'm still not getting it. Enlighten me your answer did not :p

Then I googled it, and up came the explanation (http://www.holidays.net/mardigras/story.htm).

Am I unusually thick or did anyone else know this?

Anyway, these folks would have serious problems wearing those bare-arse leather trousers in February in Cardiff ;)
Sorry.

I went a few years back, it was well good, but it a bit of a mission getting there and back from London in a day ( rail service was specially bad that day spent most of the time stuck on platforms waiting for delayed trains! :rolleyes: )
Have a good one everyone that is going :cool:

Maybe I will, maybe I won't, you know how fickle us girls can be :D

Anyhoo, I heard it's cancelled?? Or is that just the millenium stadium gig, not sure?
