And yet again I’ll be off to a work meeting in Philly next year which will require me to ditch tickets for a gig I really wanted to go to. It was Bikini Kill in 2024, it’ll be Pixies in 2026.

My dad met Tom Stoppard at Pocklington School in the late 1990s, when the playwright showed up to open the performing arts centre dedicated to him. Strange he came, given he hated every minute he spent there.
