OK, tonight's Sisters of Mercy concert was much better than the 2012 one.
This time it was like watching a pretty good Sisters cover band, and honestly l if they got themselves a singer who could do a convincing impersonation of a 1990s Andrew Eldritch, they could be an AMAZING Sisters cover band.
Just like last time though, overwhelming amount of smoke machines and backlights - it could have been anyone up there for most of it, but at least it wasn't so confined as The Corner.

Definitely not a young crowd here at The Forum tonight, lots of grumpy old goths! Feeling at home!

@drbuttocks @pelagikat @cefiar I'm just having a quick snack outside insignia then I'll start on a beer. I see more of the Exford than I can handle during comedy festival so see you at the gig!

@pelagikat @drbuttocks @cefiar yep there's definitely easy tram access. If we're comfy and happy I'm not even fussed making much effort for the support act. I stupidly bought new boots to wear tonight and my feet aren't my best mates right now heh.

@drbuttocks @mike @cefiar If you want to get in the mood, this was the gig two weeks ago in Germany https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ323Bjp3JI

@pelagikat @drbuttocks @cefiar I looked up the setlist they've been doing and added as much as I could to a Spotify playlist, heh.
What time are we going to meet at Mega or whatever it is now? I'll finish work about 6:30ish so I'm good for any time say 7pm on.

The Windows shell command for working with Bitlocker encrypted drives is "manage-bde" and I do not know how to take this operating system seriously any more.

@erosdiscordia just go around town blowing shit up, and if someone tries to stop you just yell IT'S A GENDER REVEAL! and I'm pretty sure they'd be legally compelled to let you continue.

I got all my hair cut off yesterday, and trimmed my beard down to a goatee so today I keep finding myself reflexively brushing back hair that isn't there any more.

@uxintro https://deffo.com.au - I think everything is hooked up and running right. Running current code as of yesterday.

How good is it when someone replies to an email where you asked them a very specific question with, "Great, thanks for the info"?

@szbalint I think it goes deeper. The John Wick universe is a Matrix simulation. Neo never got out. They said in the beginning that humans reject simulations that are too perfect, so they keep making it worse for him.

@pelagikat I don't want to get too carried away, but I don't want to show up in my work clothes either. It's a fine line. 😀

@Nikolai_Kingsley I have plenty of black clothes, they're just rather ... dull.
My vinyl faux-crocodile trenchcoat literally fell apart a couple of years ago and I've been lost for ideas ever since.

@Nikolai_Kingsley @futzle no thank you, I'll just go listen to Hawkwind's series of lectures on the topic instead.

@Nikolai_Kingsley @futzle I have a bad feeling that any minute the words "strange" and "charm" will appear and my brain is going to start dribbling out of my ears.

@futzle @Nikolai_Kingsley I have three cats here, and most of the trouble emanates from just one of them.

Speaking of Fascism, look what the Victorian cops are up to. News reports are that "Two police and one protester hospitalised" but the cops had a dislocated thumb and a minor head injury, and the protester had both her legs crushed and no feeling in her toes.
