Even with Dan Deacon’s widespread reputation for audience participation in his gigs, I could not have been prepared for a mass dance-off, followed by an interpretive dance lesson hosted by Steve.

I managed to catch Dan Deacon in Manchester, supported on their tour by...

On Saturday night I spoke to my mate who went to this, and he said his name was Scott, so yeah, I think you were the only who forgot his name Lucy

You were definately wearing glasses too.

And the security guards... i was one of the last ones out the back and we were ushered back in by a shouting security guard.. FACT.
Maybe they just didn't like you. I was in the 'first in' type group and so that's my recollection. I absolutely wasn't wearing glasses though. I was wearing my contacts which i dropped one of when I got back to my hotel and had to go searching for under the sink. If you're interested the under sink area at the ramada in Piccadilly was very cleanly in my room. Well done them.

How do you know I'm short sighted. It's scary.

You didn't have me confused with Dan himself did you? He was standing right next to me at the time. He does wear glasses.

Thanks for your kind words about the actual dancing though. I like to please.

I'm always interested in under sink areas.

haha- yeah maybe my memory of dan deacon and you merged into what we now know as dancing steve. see, this is why i always have to write things down at gigs, otherwise my memory fails me. this is what i get for enjoying the gig and thinking - fuck the notepad! never again.
your dancing was spot on. do you dance often? i think you should. on a stage. with a fancy costume.

Out of interest - how come you scored it 0 for reviewers tilt? Did you just want to bring the overall score down?

The problem with leaving it as 0 is that it will bring the overall score down. As you didn't score any of the other individual categories under 9, I am guessing you believe it should have an overall score in the 90's?

Have a play around with it until you are happy with the overall score if you like.

noooooooooo it plays a huge part in the overall review. It's kind of like a general outlook on the review.
