Happy New Year 2011!

Happy New Year Everybody!

We've been out this New Year, for a change! First we went to see Tron: Legacy, and for a treat we saw it at the IMAX in 3D, sitting in the Premier seats.
To be honest the film wasn't that brilliant - too much hype about how good it is possibly?, but not bad, particular with the extra sensory enhancements.

Afterwards we wandered up the hill to Catherine Street, and spent the rest of the night in the Blackburne Arms. There was some excellent live music and singing from an acoustic guitarist (although he did favour the "extended mix" for almost every song).

3 people wandered in wearing '70's fancy dress, claiming that they always dressed that way. Told them that they couldn't top the Willy Wonka with 11 Oompah Loompah's who I saw out and about on Xmas eve. Beer was good (Black Sheep), as was the atmosphere so we stayed for "the bongs" at midnight. - Spotted one of the teachers from the boys school in there too.

Caught a taxi home, and saw the end of this years "Hootenanny" with Jools Holland and guests (OMG! look at Alison Moyet - she's a shadow of her former self).
