Oh God, what a day.

Yesterday, was rotten. We did an outdoor concert and it poured with bloody rain non-stop. The roof was leaking right onto me, and my trousers are coming apart, luckily in a place that's not visible when I sit down.
It baffles me why 2500-3000 people will turn up and sit on the ground in the pouring rain for about £25 a go, when if you build them a concert hall, with proper walls and a roof, comfy seats and give them a well rehearsed concert that doesn't involve queuing for 45 minutes to get out of the car park at about £18 a go, they won't come.
Basically, I think British people don't like comfort or convenience. We like the idea that we are eccentric, and will put up with things that others wouldn't, but we don't have to, we just want to so we have something to moan about.
