Day 18- Is the tayto's chocolate that famous?

The ‘Conquering Animal Sound’ (a Scottish band with similarities to Bjork) are the stage openers for MUM.  At the end of their performance they ask: ‘So is it true that you guys have a chocolate made with crisps?’ The crowd shouts in consensus and in no time 2 mini tablets are hurled to the stage. Now really? This is the scene in the movie that everyone goes like: ‘Yeah right, isn’t it too much of a coincidence that in the front row someone has exactly 2 bars of tayto crisps chocolate?’

Or is the taytos chocolate that famous? The idea of crisps sandwiches still give me the creeps as my mind can’t comprehend bread with potatoes, but now that I think about it, gnocchi are quite tasty so maybe I will give these sandwiches a try but I am not sure about the chocolate.

In front of us there is a middle age couple whom we suspect are the parents of one of the band members. They come equipped with binoculars, even if the venue is quite small, and are taking couple pictures with their new iphone. I say new as they don’t know they can flip the camera around to themselves to take a picture and after a few attempts one of them is always out of the photo. I find it pretty cool that older people take on the technology and enjoy playing with all these smart gadgets.

My grandaunt who is 82 uses email and skype to communicate with her ‘adopted’ granddaughters who live abroad which I think is impressive, compared with my parents who are much younger but are not too keen on technology which means that when I go home I stay at my brother’s place as he has Wi-Fi, yes I know, but I really can’t function without it these days. I surely hope he is not reading this.  

When I went to San Fran for my birthday my grandaunt told me again ‘Ah, I won’t email you when you will be away as you won’t receive it until you are back, I will text you instead, and you will receive that won’t you?’

‘I will receive both, aunt.’ I replied. ‘I told you before that when you send an email you don’t send it to a specific computer, you send it to a server and I can access it anywhere in the world’

‘Oh, ah mm ok, I will text you anyway. You will take your phone with you right?’

*‘Behind these two hills here
I Fall asleep
And when I float in green grass of tunnel
It flows back
Down from my ceiling
Drips great noise
It drips on my head through a hole in the roof
Behind these two hills here
There's a pool
And when I'm swimming in
Through a tunnel....
I shut my eyes.
I shut my eyes’
