Clothes shown...

glenatronSo that was the Clothes Show Live - walking on stage (looking pretty cool in clothes from our sponsor) to an audience of screaming girls, many of whom didn't leave while we played. The aisles beyond them were packed with cheery showgoers who will at least have heard us and may remember the name, if not how to spell it. We even had a catwalk in front of the stage although in all honesty we didn't make a lot of use of it.
The show itself was like a big hall full of clothes stalls. There were so many I began to suffer from clothes blindness fairly quickly and the one stall I did want to look at a second time appeared to have vanished completely after I left it the first time.
Birmingham city centre is horribly confusing to drive around and although the people running the stage did everything they could to keep things running smoothly the NEC parking and traffic management people are a bunch of incompetent jobsworth car park fascists and added a lot of pointless driving between car parks we weren't allowed to park in to the day. Very irritating.
In spite of the irritation of driving round the site and driving round the city (I was having to follow Chris, who had a Tomtom navigation thingummibob that appeared to want us to go round and round in convoluted circles and kept turning away from where we needed to go) it was a very memorable day and certainly something unique and interesting to have done.
