Last Catchup

Category: Pictures — ChrisM @ 4:54 am

Here we have the previous combination of slightly shaky hand, phone camera, AND low lighting. Wow.
Anyway, these are the only photos of Miss Lilly that I can find on the phone. I thought I had taken more, but then again I though I could at least sing Green Day tracks, until last weekend when I proved myself wrong in front of an audience with my first (and possibly last ever) public karaoke performance. Enough of the self pity, onto the photos of Miss Lilly (duetting with Joe in one shot) performing in the Northwind pub. We’ve been a few times now, and can honestly recommend her entertainment to anyone in the area.

Miss Lilly

Category: Eating Out,Friends,Personal — ChrisM @ 3:54 pm

[EDIT]
Amended time for cocktail happy hour. Thanks to Mel for the correction.

I have been meaning to post about Miss Lilly, an American singer who has taken up residence in Northwind (is that the right term? She will be there six nights a week for six months, anyway.) We have been to see her three times so far, and not been disappointed yet 🙂
Anyway, I promised her on Friday night that I would post details about what is going on this Monday, so…

Monday 20th October 2008
Northwind (“English Pub”)
Prospekt Respublika
Astana

Now I had little bit too much to drink on Friday (thanks to Dave, Mel, and Dave’s friend’s friend for getting me home safely), but I’m pretty sure that Miss Lilly said that this Monday there would be 50% off cocktails from 7pm-8pm, and a little later there would be karaoke. CORRECTION: Either 7-9 or 8-10 IS THE CORRECT TIME.
I could be off on the timings though, so do check at the bar first. I’m hoping that Ira and I can make it, and possibly bring the in-laws.
I tried to search online for some photos or videos of Miss Lilly performing, but can’t find any right now. I think I have some (very blurry) pics on my phone, so when I get back to the flat I’ll upload any that are vaguely useful.
