LL Cool J

Its Friday 13th, so, what could possibly go wrong eh!! Well its down to Brixton Academy in London to photograph LL Cool J. I cant wait.. I havent been to the Brixton Academy for ages. It seems that each winter I am there almost every night. But, during the rest of the year its not a very busy venue.. Or maybe I am just imaging it. I arrived at the backstage door at about 9pm. I was searched and had a metal detecting device waved all around my body.. The girl in front of me obviously had lots of metal piercings and the metal detector kept going off all over her. The security chap wanted to investigate, but thought better of it.. In I went and got into the photo pit. LL Cool J was delayed by about half an hour. So, the susspense was killing me. I kept looking at my watch and I was aware that people in the front row were looking at me and sympethising with me as LL was not on stage yet. What the front row didnt know, was, that I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible and get home, put my feet up and watch the one and only Jonathan Ross on TV. I am not a big fan of LL. Anyway, on he came and moved around very very fast. I was kind of happy with my shots. But, I was much happier with my earplugs.. I escaped and got home just in time to see the TV Jonathan Ross TV show.. Then relaxed...ahhh So, even though its Friday 13th, today, it all went swimingly...
