Being the 27th of June 2008

In the embers of a dying Friday you drag yourself upright in your fetid ditch near the gloomy asbestos works...
Wrap your careworn emaciated frame in noisome rags...
Then, with an energy borne of compulsion, begin to lope, knuckles scraping the coarse earth, toward a dim light flickering in a dark and forbidding building...
Reaching the building, whose stench is bettered only by that of your own besmirched corporeality, you fling the door open wide...
Welcome to another evening at the City Folk Club...!

Here's the evening's soundtrack:

Which no body should have been able to follow...
Step into the breach..

Truly cursed are those who were not there...
