ana was the second person to arrive again, this time her victims were richard and alex. shy richard looked embarrassed, as ever, but playboy alex was obviously in heaven. we met sherish in the queue, the most cheery one around, and arturo was behind me (well i know that now, but at the time he was the mysterious missing arturo).

all the band members must have been partying the day before, because brett was drinking chamomile tea and looked as if he was experiencing the worst hangover of his life. thank god there were the breasts of the girls in the first row to cheer him up a lot. we know you liked them brett, ha! ana tried to take a picture of mat, but he was hiding the whole time. alex the gentleman came to the rescue, though, and ana managed to get several nice shots of him.

it was a typical acoustic set, except for “by the sea,” that was the surprise. the gig was too short but very moving. one of the best moments of the afternoon was when a girl told brett “see you in the next life” and he smiled at her very, very sarcastically. after “trash” they left the stage and ana began to scream, “alexxxx a pick!!!” they returned to play “beautiful ones” (the maracas made an appearance at last!) and alex gave ana the pink pick, he’s a nice guy indeed. after the gig, it was the “cup moment”: all the girlies taking pics of the chamomile tea cup as if it was a relic, like the holy grail. sometimes i feel happy that i’m a bit older…
