WHOs WHO were cool too. Quad isnt one of my favourite WHO album but I really 
enjoyed their set plus they played some extras afterwards WGFA, My Gen (& My 
Gen Blues) Roadrunner. My favourite was Bellboy - their drummer does a 
really good impression of Moonie !

Casbah Club were great too. I shook Simons hand at one point during the day, 
smiled at Mark Brzezicki and Bruce Foxton smiled at me and touched my 
shoulder and patted my back.

Also I met up with load of really cool and BEAUTIFUL WHO people today. Hi to 
you all I love you all !!! - it was an amazing day - I have some pics (not 
many) but won't be able to post them till tomorow night

Oh by the way, in case this is of interest to you - ROGER was there 
!!!!!!!!! (for about 10- 15 mins) I shook his hand too and spoke to him 
saying to him it was great to see him and nice to meet him - he said thats 
OK. I was blown away - I will never wash my hand again !!!! He has a very 
strong grip and the bluest of eyes. He sang acoustic versions of BBE and 
Substitute with Simon and I got a couple of pics of him as he left the show 
getting into his Merc to go to the RAH show tonight he briefly spoke about 
recording the new album

THANKS TO ALL THE WONDERFUL ORGANISERS OF THIS MOST WONDERFUL CONVENTION AND 
TO THE AMAZING BANDS
