Odd(ie) evening

10 June 2003

Last night I enjoy a first class solo on-stage performance from Ani DiFranco at the Royal Festival Hall. If you live near London and have never been to the RFH on the south bank, you really should. It’s an amazing building.

Anyway, that aside, the strangest thing about the whole evening was that whilst (as is normal at an Ani gig) most of the audience was female, under 25 and had come with their girlfriend, british comedy great Bill Oddie was there too. Surreal. I also wonder when was the last time the RFH smelt quite that much of pot. A great evening. Ani rocked, naturally.

  1. § Mike: I hadn’t smelt pot for aggggees until sat when my next-door-neighbours-daughters-boyfriend was smoking it in the shed... I think it made Noah chill for a while... Maybe we should smoke it around the house to calm to nutter down... ;]

About Drew McLellan

Photo of Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Cadburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
