Art Brut are one of my bestest ever favourite bands. They are currently on tour in America, and today are playing in San Francisco. Anna Pickard is one of my bestest ever favourite writers. She is currently living in San Francisco, and so I tweeted at her to tell her to go see them. I've been a bit slow getting on the twitter bandwagon, as I am with most of the Internet.When popboy interviewed for his current ISP-related job, I had to explain to him what the Internet was (this was about 9 years ago). He has since become some sort of computing/Internet genius, and now I go to him for help and advice. I took several months to follow him from myspace to facebook, and the same has now happened with twitter.
I'm slowly catching up, and it's GREAT. It means that when your friends' bands are touring in San Francisco, they can keep you updated about the crazy hotel rooms they're staying in. And when you mention to someone you admire, someone whose every thought over the past 8 years you've faithfully read even though you don't know them, that a band you think they might like is playing in the city in which they currently reside, they can tweet back to say thanks, and to tell you that you're lovely.
That made my day.

Today I have mostly been reading nothing, I've been too busy.
