Flippety-flop

Upsides: am around to see Werner Herzog and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan at the Southbank, and may even catch Sonny Rollins at the Barbican.

Downsides: I will be unable to watch the electrifying Staff Benda Bilili in November

Nostalgia: to be sure, I am showing my age, but this Friday, i'll be going to see Womack & Womack with the Cistern Kid & the iPod Perv.
