I am working tonight, and then heading down to the Electric Picnic at the crack of dawn. If you are heading to the Picnic, I'll be doing my show, Panti's Festival Survival Guide, at 8pm tomorrow, Friday, in the thisispopbaby tent, and on Saturday, I will be mucking in with the rest of the drags and the freaks at Werk, also in the popbaby tent. And for the first time ever, I have a whole day off at the Picnic on Sunday, so if you see me, buy me a drink you tight bastards!
If you are not heading to the Picnic, try not to break anything while I'm gone. Enjoy your weekend! I certainly intend to.

Atmospheric short film on the machinations in a 90's Dublin boyband, as one member gets the heave-ho.
The band went on to have some limited success, but they never Let (him back) In.

... baby drags will do their best to perform despite a horrible steamroller accident at the Electric picnic site yesterday, which has left them with bizarrely shortened and flattened legs. Such courage! Such dedication!

The internet and the late night radio shows last night were alive with indignation/outrage/hilarity over the debacle at the Guns N' Roses gig in the 02 last night. The band turned up very late and unapologetically, and an already restless crowd began to turn on them. Much booing and some bottle throwing ensued, prompting Axl Rose to storm off stage. Announcements were made, the crowd turned nastier, MCD supremo Denis Desmond attempted to calm the crowd, people started to leave after the house lights come on and venue staff told them to, then the band eventually reappear but much of the crowd had left and those that tried to return were not allowed back in. Unconfirmed reports on Twitter suggest that at one point Axl was outside the venue shouting abuse at fans! Though that might be exaggeration.
Anyway, this clip includes Axl threatening to leave, then leaving, and then a venue manager and Denis Desmond appealing for calm and saying they are "trying hard to get Axl to come back on stage".

According to a senior advisor to the Archbishop of Westminster, speaking just weeks before the Pope's visit to England. And guess who's to blame? Go on, I'll give you one guess.
Bingo! The gays! And abortion and the commercialisation of sex. Our usual bedfellows.
"Whether we like it or not, as British citizens and residents of this country - and whether we are even prepared as Catholics to accept this reality and all it implies - the fact is that historically, and continuing right now, Britain, and in particular London, has been and is the geopolitical epicentre of the culture of death," he said.
"Our laws and lawmakers for over 50 years have been the most permissively anti-life and progressively anti-family and marriage, in essence one of the most anti-Catholic landscapes, culturally speaking - more than even those places where Catholics suffer open persecution."
"Britain in particular, with its ever-increasing commercialisation of sex, not to mention its permissive laws advancing the 'gay' agenda, is such a wasteland."
Reports in the Guardian and the Independent with reaction from gay rights campaigners and others.
How utterly laughable. What kind of deluded lunatic looks around the world - at countries that torture and murder their citizens, where the systematic rape of women is used as a weapon, where women are bought and sold as chattels, where gay kids are hung in public, where dissidents are imprisoned and murdered - and then decides that civilized, democratic, gardening Britain is the epicentre of the "culture of death"?
Joan Smith, also in the Independent, comes to the defense of modern Britain.
I woke up as usual yesterday in the "geopolitical epicentre of the culture of death" - and very pleasant it was. I fed the cats, read the papers and carried an espresso into the back garden, congratulating myself on being a citizen of a country that doesn't stone women to death, hang gay men from cranes or murder people who change their religion. I mean, how great is that? I love living in the "selfish, hedonistic wasteland" that is London - both quotes come from one Edmund Adamus, who is apparently a senior British Catholic and an adviser to the Archbishop of Westminster - and I just wish more nations would follow our example.
Frankly, I'm tired of hearing religious bigots running down this country. For all its faults - crap public transport, Nick Clegg popping up everywhere and a national obsession with Simon Cowell - Britain is still one of the most civilised places in the world to live. It's not Iran, where prisoners are subjected to rape and mock executions; it isn't Saudi Arabia either, despite Mr Adamus's downright peculiar belief that we're more anti-Catholic than the Chinese or the Saudis. (Might I suggest he tries walking along a street in Riyadh carrying a crucifix and a Bible?) The Catholic Church has picked up this habit of dissing secular culture from hardline Muslims, who dislike pretty much the same things: gay relationships, equal rights for women and the freedom to mock religion.
Read the rest.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."
"What's that?" I barely look up from the dish I am preparing.
"Mom, I'm gay."
I look at him. He stands there with his hands in his pocket. He looks earnest and hesitant.
"I'm glad you've figured it out." I smile.
He looks disappointed; I feel I have not reacted in the way he expected.
"Really? That's all you have to say?" His mouth twists into a bit of a grimace.
"Well, yes, I guess. I'm glad you figured out something, and I'm also glad you told me."
He sort of nods and walks away.
Read the rest.
