I promise I won't ignore your Ghost Stories thread

Re: Dexter - if you aren't feeling it on series one then it ain't for you imo. That was the best series. There were some good ones after it, but that was the best.

For the Herring concert I wore .....*drum roll* ....jeans and a top...not grey though, maroon.

We ate...at McDs. Because it was my choice where we ate (my present :p) and you know what I am like for fast food.

Went in J's car. Bless him, he's a bit of a nervy driver nowadays, after his most recent crash last year. I try not to let it show how nervous I am as a passenger! Doubt that would help any lol.

Seats were in the stalls. But it's such a small and lovely place, that still had us fairly near the stage.

You'd love the place. City Varieties Music Hall. Old place, been restored to former glory.

Built in 1865 above the White Swan public house in Swan Street Leeds. Most famous for hosting BBC's The Good Old Days for 30 years.
You have to go down a little side street to get to it. Looks like you're going off to a back alley, then turns into this delightful little studenty/artsy spot. Reminded me a bit of London. Inside it's all red plush velvet and gilt decor. Very much a traditional music hall.

There's a little display case showing all the little things they found during the restoration - old chocolate wrappers, and ice cream carton lids (the round ones with the little pull up tab - one of them was called Gay Times Icecream). Some old cigarette packets from the 30s and 40s. A pair of glasses. Really interesting little collection. I recognised the 70s style Milky Way! Oh yes.
