three bottles of water and a few coffees later and all i wanted to do was go and pee! it was only the second song during cat power's set at the barbican but i couldn't take it anymore. i left my seat and ran out the side entrance and out into the hall. before the show it was filled with hundreds of people schmoozing and drinking wine but now all ( Read more... )
