    Yeah thats the letter posted in the Clay thread. I KNEW it had to be that one.
    Good to see she included a few tidbits at the VERY END of the song that refer to the sleeping part.

    Well what can I tell you 2.14 in the morning but this:-
    It was a fantastic evening with so many things to mention. I loved every track from the new album, the orchestra complimented each track as wonderful string arrangements, the band were splendid as normal, so good to see Will on stage and Alison quite frankly was fucking marvellous.
    Great to hear older tracks as well such as Lovely Head, Paper Bag, A&E etc
    Stage lighting was very colourful a few times.
    Very happy with my posters (brought one and ripped from the wall one)!!
    Only downside was the ridiculous heat but that's nobody's fault (damn you Mother Nature) /:)
    Lastly, what can I say about the lovely people I have met. That's right their all bastards. ONLY JOKING
    Wonderful, friendly,funny, chatty diamonds the lot of them. Hopefully I won't miss anyone out but here goes - Mr and Mrs Dreeke, Carpy, Big Bird, Pob, Keith,Twiity, Una, Laura, Micky, Simon (posters cheers) and very briefly Border Mind.
    I hope you all had as wonderful time as me and hope to see you on Saturday :x

    Which one is this?
    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

    'Lightning never strikes twice they say but after these two shows they might have to revise that!

    What a joyous few days that's been both gig wise and all the wonderful fun we've had around them.

    Will catch up with things once home later today but just wanted to drop this here until then.

    That all sound wonderful, so looking forward to maybe seeing it all surface one day. :)

    Glad you all had a fantastic time last night, I'm still gutted that my tickets proved to be touted and recalled  ~X(
    Does anyone know if it was filmed, and if so how will it be released to us? Can any kind person advise me (now or nearer the time) about gathering with other Frappers from this site before the Apollo show? I haven't done this before (Im forcing myself to overcome my phobia of crowds by coming to a show at all, but hey...its Goldfrapp! I will regret it forever if I don't make at least one show! Thanks xx
