[kj] best venue

Yeah, well now you've got me started.... my old friend Jo came round
tonight. We were in it together. I asked her if she could contribute any
stories about Dave Wizard, and she came up with one I had totally
forgotton, which was a bit more mundane than the last but quite typical,
I think. That was when we lived in Drayton Park which was used as a car
park for Arsenal footie games. Well, Dave turns up for us one day in his
old mini, with his dog, on a match day. Me and Jo pile into car with
Dave and dog. Dave proceeds to light a spliff and then drive the wrong
way up Drayton Park which has become a one way road due to the heavy
parking, as it does every match day. Surprise, surprise - heavy police
presence - we get stopped for driving the wrong way up the road in a
mini full of smoke. Fortunately, controlling a football match seemed
more important to the police at the time.

I didn't work for MD or Rough Trade. I just went to loads and loads of
gigs.

place,he never gave me any hassle--well with/jaz/youth gordie there,he
would

something rather strange about him,a kind of warning in the gut that 
says....dont go there...
