liverpool st station is probably the easiest - old st is close too

has anyone been to the daytime things?

i went for a wee while on monday - but couldn't go back for the 'special guest' at 5. does anyone know who this was?

Thomas Truax. A bit too avant-garde for my tastes, but I put up a video of his jam with Jarvis anyway:

He (TT) also did a couple of songs on his own.  Oh and there was a band from Southend (not The Horrors, thankfully) who came on right at the end, but I forget who they were now.  They seemed a little out-of-place, I thought - too poppy. Then Jarvis finished with "Further Complications".

Yeah, directions-wise Liverpool St is probably easiest.  Just head left along bishopsgate and then take the left turn at Great Eastern St and you'll walk straight past one of the entrances.  (Don't make the mistake I did of trying to go down Holywell Lane instead cos it'scompletely blocked to both pedestrians and traffic due to road works...)

As I was there on my lonesome, I thought I would occupy myself by tweeting some photos (and one video) of the gig. If you want to see them, look back through my Twitter page at twitter.com/LeoVK

Yeah, brilliant gig - maybe the best I've ever seen him.  He seemed a bit short of breath at the start, but given how much energy he puts into the performance it's hardly surprising. Even the songs that usually bore me slightly - Pilchard, Homewrecker! - came across as totally wired. Shame about "Girls Like It Too"; didn't realise that was on the setlist.  What else got cut?

A couple of videos of mine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlnjwfG-R9A <- Purple Haze

(latter is from the end of the daytime stuff rather than the gig itself...) Was the lady Jarvis kissed in Leftovers the one who handed him the rose?  I missed that bit...

I had mixed feelings about the actual residency; it was an experience to see the band in such a laid back setting, and some of the jams / backing music worked pretty well (the ones on the final day seemed to be the best.) But I was kind of disappointed that they didn't actually spend any time in all 3 days rehearsing songs for the gig (even Jarvis commented last night that they should've spent more time working on the actual songs.)

It was the other way round - she leant in and kissed him on the cheek.  But yes, it was the same lady that gave him the rose. (Not me - honest, I was just stood v near)
