"Tough as old boots," as my Dad affectionately describes her. Visiting and seeing the Pegster is one of the true highlights of coming home and she draws closer and closer to 100 every day!
God bless her soul! We Love The Pegster!

Last orders at The Plough... I didn't want to leave!
We started out with the ambition of meeting Jenny and her sister for a few drinks at the Printworks and watching the Manchester United game over a few beers.
What followed was an epic night that took us from Manchester 40 miles to Preston (in a taxi) then 25 miles to Burnley (in another taxi) only to have to journey back 4 hours the next day on public transport hungover as hell! Hey - it was worth the hangover!
(After four years, the kebab shop owner admitted he had never forgotten about his favourite customer!)
We covered 130 miles! The Map of the Journey is here:

Good Times!!!
In 2004, Liverpool's waterfront was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting the city's importance in the development of the world's trading system and dock technology.
The docks are central to Liverpool's history, with the best-known being Albert Dock: the first enclosed, non-combustible dock warehouse system in the world and is built in cast iron, brick and stone.
Liverpool's main shopping area is Church Street, lying between Bold Street to the East and Lord Street to the West.
Liverpool One opened fully in October 2008 being the redevelopment of a large part of the postcode area L1—hence the name. It features this huge Beatles tribute through HMV.
As we walked through, half the city was euphoric - Liverpool were stuffing Newcastle 5-1 to cement their place at the top of the league.

What a great night!!One of the best lineups in memory and the dj's didn't disappoint!
As the cream website stated the next morning:
"Nation was packed to the rafters to a sell out capacity crowd, with 3 rooms of music from the likes of Armin van Buuren, John Digweed, Danny Howells, Nick Warren, Laidback Luke, Jon Carter, Justin Robertson and more.
Armin raised the roof in the Main Room for a highly anticipated return, and John Digweed did some much needed damage to the Courtyard playing a 3 hour seminal set.
Whilst over in the Courtyard Laidback Luke smashed it, with one of the most energetic sets of the night, dropping some dancefloor classics to an up for it intimate crowd, we think its fair to say Laidback Luke isnt that laidback!
And lets not forget the return of the holy trinity that is Jon Carter, Nick Warren and Justin Robertson, who were welcomed back with open arms into the warm friendly bosom that is Cream!!!"
I only wish I'd shot more video!!!
I've got video of:
John Kelly in the Annexe
John Digweed in The Courtyard
Justin Robertson in the Annexe
Gareth Wyn in the Main Room
John O'Callaghan in the Main Room
The playlist in online HERE!
What made the night the most memorable of all was the people who were there: Niblock, Sy, Richy, Lucy, Laura, Grace, Matt Scahill, Jay, Rob, Carl and Frank. Good Times!
Boxing Day with the family was brilliant! Halfway through the day we pulled a picture from John (left) when he was 3 years old to compare to Mikey.
Can you believe how striking the resemblance is!
(Mikey's current favorite hobby is cleaning...)

The invite read: "It's that time of year and we are once again hosting a Tacky Christmas Sweater Party with "White Elephant" gift exchange. In case you are not familiar; everyone brings one gift, the tackier, funnier and more useless the better. Each person will then choose one gift from the bunch. It is sure to be funny yet so rewarding."

Saturday Night @ Mosaic
John's recovery keeps being close to remarkable. He was allowed out under close supervision today and the nurses were so pleased with the progress that they're getting ready for him to be home before Christmas, and possibly even sooner, possibly before the weekend! It's amazing how fast everything has moved!
They say that being immersed in a familiar environment will help his recovery dramatically. I can't wait to see him. I'm counting down the days!!

Amazingly, they didn't find my GPS or Stereo I'd stashed away! The only major damage is to the driver's window - it looks more like vandalism than theft...

Loooong story!
I left it outside Tootsies last night after Steve Aoki and when I went back to get it today It was gone!
After a nightmare day with police phone calls, etc... They finally called me back tonight and have tracked it down. I can pick it up from the tow lot tomorrow morning!

Featuring Steve Aoki (And Spin Styles / DJ Who...)
Who is Steve Aoki?
Steve Aoki, also known as his stage name DJ Steve Aoki Kid Millionaire is the American club DJ who founded Dim Mak Records.
Why should you care?
Dim Mak Records is the indie label that jump-started the careers of the British neo-pop sensation Bloc Party. The label has more recently imported rising stars such as MSTRKRFT, Klaxons, Scanners, Whitey and Mystery Jets.
How was it?
Disappointing. Neither the Mosaic crowd nor Aoki seemed to know how to act toward one another. Apart from a very small number jumping up and down, the rest of the crowd were merely static spectators.
