THIS saturday 29th July I will have succesfully cheated death for 24 years. To celebrate this feat I will be going to the roadhouse to watch my showbiz pals the Hot Puppies and something called Dead Disco.

It should be a fantastic event, hosted my High Voltage - one of manchester's most Noteworthy promoter/labels.

And YOU are invited to accompany me. That's right you! even if i've never heard of you, if you live in manchester and post on DiS then i will allow you to buy me a pint.

now that's generosity.
