Bill Bailey!

The last week or so has been quite quiet an uneventful. Work is going well... I got a pay rise (!!!), I'm settling in to the pattern of work, and after being here for a month I now feel like I'm starting to get on top of python and django. Huzzah for that.

I went out shopping on Saturday and ended up spending far too much money on a whole bunch of books, and I picked up a NES gun and duckhunt for ubercheap! Now I just need to get a NES to play them on...

Anyway. Onto the title of this post. Tim and I discovered that Bill Bailey was performing in Edinburgh as part of the fringe, but his show (on today) was all sold out. However, we discovered that he was compèring part of a Guilded Balloon 21st birthday gala celebration the previous day (yesterday), so we decided to get ticket to that instead. It was actually really fun, a whole bunch of comedians had 10 min slots, and the show went from 8pm to midnight, so there was a whole lot of comedy. And, of course, Bill Bailey was there. And he was good. And, of course, I have now completed that task I set to see Bill Bailey! And after the show, Tim and I went down to the stage entrance and waited for him to leave, and I got him to sign my guitar hero guitar. Because, y'know, that's an awesome thing for him to sign. He did look a little bemused by it, but hey. Rawk.



So that was fun. While we were waiting for Bill Bailey to come out of the theatre, we bumped into an old school friend of Tim's, and we ended up going to a bar with her and her friend. Cue far too much beer and a 5am bedtime. Needless to say, work today wasn't particularly fun! But. Bill Bailey! I met him! And he signed my guitar! Woo!
