Another classic moment


In the beginning of our relationship, Krusty and I would often, after an evening of copious drinking, come back to his flat to dance to Gotan Project. Obviously, we thought we looked very cool and that we were incredibly good tango dancers. We recently found some photos that prove the contrary. But that's another story...
Last night we went to see Gotan Project at the famous Brixton Academy, and although we started very wisely by moving only our heads, at the end of the night the tango possessed us to move once again very idiotically to the rhythm of the whole room. The concert was great, although much too short. And we discovered a really useful tip: because we were stading and drinking, we only ever had one hand free to clap. I therefore used my right hand to clap Krusty's left hand. A group effort!
But now for the classic moment. Drunk on the music, amongst other things, we found ourselves outside (ten of us) to discuss where the evening would take us next. That's when a pretty lady came and tapped me on the shoulder, saying 'Your skirt...'. I prepared myself to thank her for the compliment and tell her where I bought the red dress that I thought suited the tango moment. The same red dress I wore to that interview, I should have known that a compliment was not about to follow... The lady continued, 'either it's a new fashion, or its stuck in your tights at the back.' Three thousand people had my arse in their field of vision since I had been to the toilet...at the beginning of the concert! So ashamed, as usual...

For those of you that don't know Gotan, be happy to be able to discover them at last, and go with haste to www.gotanproject.com
