Morrisons Breakfast, The Barrels, Denim Jackets, Vicki Geordie Shore, Shay Given and Defcon 1

Hello there. It's been a while since I posted one of those silly little what's been going on things, so here we go.

The friday before last seen Issue 01 stars Old Bones, joined by fantastic Edinburgh band, and fellow two piece, The Gold Lions down at The Barrels. It got reasonably busy, both bands were awesome and loud, and another great night was had by all. The lads from The Gold Lions even expressed a great interest in coming back to Berwick. We are taking steps forward fellas.

On the saturday, I went to Morrisons for breakfast and lost money in the bookies. Then Ben and Dave put on a marvellous DJ set and I danced the night away, burning off that wonderful breakfast.

I went back to college. I decided to go out in Newcastle on wednesday night. Waiting around in the city centre on my friend, I took the inevitable trip to Topman and bought a denim jacket. 20% off for students mun, how could I resist. I put it on immediately, and with my white converse and skinny jeans I thought I was in The Strokes...

Continuing to wait for my friend, I decided to go for a coffee. Sitting enjoying a mocha and reading a copy of my own magazine (I wasn't really), along came my first celebrity encounter of the day. Wait for it. Vicki Geordie Shore asked if she could sit at my table. Not because she liked the look of my new jacket, but because there was not a single other seat in the building...

Fast forward a few hours and a generous helping of vodka; I arrive on Legends dance floor. Second celebrity encounter of the day approaching. None other than Shay Given. We danced, we gazed into each others eyes... He was the drunkest I have ever seen a person.

Back to Berwick. Last friday saw another top night. Matt Wilson, Le Woodsmen and Electric Penelope were all fucking awesome. These friday nights at The Barrels just keep on getting better my friends...

On the saturday, I went to Morrisons for breakfast and lost money in the bookies. Then DJ Keek put on a marvellous DJ set and I danced the night away, burning off that wonderful breakfast. There is nothing wrong with having a routine my friends. I must mention the ridiculous sound system Defcon 1 brought down to The Barrels for Keeks, you had to see & hear it to believe it.

Sunday night saw wor Ross Davidson's leaving party. Goodbye friend. Dave, Keeks and a boy with bagpipes all rocked the basement. We need more bagpipes in there, it was awesome.

Anyways, Issue 02 is underway. 22nd October is the launch. Get down.

Mr P DJ-ing this weekend. Coosty.
