Yep, I was there. A camera on the balcony, right of centre as you looked
at the stage, slowly collapsed a few feet in front of me and I managed
to catch the damn thing before it hit anything. Presumably that was you
who arrived on the scene? Tall guy, longish blond hair?

If so, I've chatted to you at a number of gigs since then. I vaguely
remember some chat at Oxford(?) about how Brock wasn't so friendly to
fans as he used to be?

But you can't release those to any of us?

Yup.

Yup, though I thought I'd seen you at Oxford the following night but
then I had a long night talking Steve I. down from a bad trip from
something he ate.

Yup.

Yeah, I reckon we have chatted a few times. I even have your sometime
phone number somewhere.
