Email from Doug re the weekend's amusements:

B2: "Hello, Berkeley 2."
ME: "Hi. We have a rehearsal booked today at 3 o'clock under the name Tiny Monkey."
B2: "Uh huh, yes."
ME: "I'm afraid to say that bass player has a broken hand from street fighting last night and the rest of the band are cripplingly hungover. So we will have to cancel the rehearsal."
B2": "AAAARRR HAHAHAHA HARHARHAR HAR HAR HAR HAR"

I laughed, anyway.
