Old-school open mic'er Patricia returned for what has become a rare performance. She used to entertain us back in the old Rodeo/Ristra days with acerbic spoken word and biting songs. Then she went off, had a baby and only recently began showing up more regularly to the Goldhawk.
This night we were able to convince her to get up and sing a couple of songs. In typical fashion, when she forgot the words to the first tune, she rebutted with an in-beat 'oh shit'. No one cared that she forgot the words, we were all just happy to hear her sing again. When she asked what her second song should be, I yelled out, "Go Fuck Yourself!"
This prompted several angry and a few bewildered looks my way from those who don't know Patricia. One of her most classic tunes from days gone by contained the chorus 'Go fuck yourself, then fuck someone else.' She agreed to play just the chorus and we all sang along and harmonized obscenities for several minutes.
When she was done she said she knew that I would be writing about this. I told her I would not. Ooops.
I spent the rest of the night discussing music and dangerous London bar experiences with Ed Smith of The Fave. I think we did shots of Blackhouse because the bar was out of Jägermeister. I know ... not much of a choice there. One mouthful of cough medicine traded off for another one.
