Beathhigh: Ooh. Crime Awards on ITV3. Pelecanos joins Hall of Fame. One of the most decent human beings I've ever met, drunk with, toured with.

Beathhigh: Oh no! Does the Booker win mean no more newspaper essays from Howard J about how humour isn't taken seriously? I can't bear it!

Beathhigh: Lasted 3 songs of Twilight Sad. Moved 3 times to confirm PA system was as bad as I thought. No point giving 100% on stage if sludge ensues.

Beathhigh: @Marikacobbold And at Booker party after, I was talking to Alain de Botton. My publisher came to chat to him... Had no idea who I was.

Beathhigh: @Marikacobbold I did that live TV Booker panel one year. Didn't get invited back. Maybe because I growled at Bonnie Greer.
