If anyone has a Dreamwidth account, I made a Libs community there (The Good Ship, pilfering the name idea from @missoneminute!), so please do join! I’ve not posted anything yet but it’s there if anyone wants to post to back anything up for safe keeping. Give me a shout if you need any tips about the format, it’s very similar to LJ!

Some of Peter’s artwork that he’s donated to the Stretch charity auction.

Peter’s art is on display at The Yard, 2 Rancorn Road, Margate, until the 15th of December, if you’re in the area!

[Anthony’s] doing great, I love that man. And he’s made his peace with Peter as well, some hug in the Ace Hotel that he was telling me about, or Pete was telling me about too, sort of buried the hatchet and made that whole time period. ‘Cos a lot of Dirty Pretty Things was on the back of Libertines guilt and, it’s not OK to play Libertines songs and it’s not OK to be happy, you’ve blown apart this thing… [Anthony] was coming to stay in London… I said book yourself a hotel, I’ll get it I’ll get it… the fucking Ace Hotel! Anyway he met Pete and lalala, so I’d like to say I funded that. So that was nice.

I’d like to ask you a favor. I’d like to give away four books to a fan. These are Carl’s book, Bound Together, Peter’s Book of Albion and a biography of Peter. I live in Berlin. The easiest way would be to hand it over here in a cafe. If you or someone else is interested outside Berlin, we would have to talk about how I can send you the books.

Oh that is very kind of you! I hope you find someone to take them – I know there are people involved in the Secret Santa who’ve been after some, so this might be a good opportunity! I’m sure they’d pay postage if you were able to mail them. Thanks for letting us know! If anyone is interested, send me a message and I’ll see what we can do! (Cont.)

[Ocean Colour Scene] asked me to come onstage and sing a song called Robin Hood which was an absolute honour, I had to go backstage and try and sober up ‘cos we’d played before them, my solo thing, and I had to try and learn the lyrics and not get them wrong. Then I went and did the song, I came off and it was a moment like ‘Can’t wait to tell Peter this one!’ ‘You know that song we used to always sing back in the day, in the park, with the acoustic, yeah I just did that onstage with them!’ And he goes, ‘Did you? I did that two weeks ago! They came to my dressing room and they asked me to go and do the same thing!’
