Star Wars and the stars
It was at a late afternoon showing that I saw Star Wars. The film was due to kick off at 16:15 and I was there about 16:00 sitting on my own watching the silent adverts and wondering if any one else would turn up when I heard the door open and walking up the isle were Fran and Dougie from Travis! Words were briefly exchanged:

"Ooh, this is like a private cinema, sorry to disturb"

Somewhat off putting when you're trying to concentrate on a film especially when they're chatting about phoning their guitarist to make sure he was ok in London (this was the day of the bombing). I didn't bother them - what would you say - though I had my camera with me so there could have been a photo opportunity. Decided i wasn't really that bothered and that they would appreciate being left alone. About eight others came in to watch the film when the lights had gone down so not sure anyone else noticed them. Just surprised for guys who presumably have a certain amount of free time and spend a lot of time on airplanes that they had never seen it before. Maybe they liked it so much they needed to see it again rather than sitting bored in a hotel room.

Also they're obviously selling some records - I had balked at £5.75 (£5.75!)for a regular coke and a popcorn but they came in laden down with drinks, popcorn and hotdogs. Oh these rich rock stars and their decadent lifestyles. 11:30
