The Pizza Underground includes one very famous member. I don"t think you"ll get it without checking. If you do (maybe during his solo spot at the end) I"ll buy you at a pizza at the next APAT event.
(To make it easier, he"s the blonde one.)

They played the Bristol Dot2Dot festival the last 2 years. This year they played the Nottingham leg of the same festival. But whereas MC stormed off the stage there after being booed, heckled, and soaked after having wave after wave of beer thrown at him, Bristol (and Manchester) seemed to really enjoy them :)

MintTrav:
I"ve been back from Vegas a while now. There were a few things there that surprised me:
The Prices
It was so annoying the first time I went to pay for something and was told that I had to pay more than the price-tag because of tax. The second time was also annoying. However, by the end of my time there..........it was still bloody annoying. What a dumb system. At least those ones showed a price though. There were lots of shops that put no prices on their stuff, so I tried to avoid those cos it felt that they could just charge me anything they liked.
The Outfits
The dealers and waitresses mostly wore very little, especially the waitresses in The Rio, who basically wear lingerie. Harrah"s clearly has a different policy to other places, as it was the only place where I saw older women serving. They still wore the same outfits though. Quite strange to see several sixty-year-old women in hot pants carrying drink-trays around.
The Moustaches
I imagine that I can go a year in the UK without seeing someone who has a moustache without a beard. While they may be an endangered species here, they have clearly never gone fully out of fashion in the US.
The Under-Beards
I had thought that the beard hanging below the chin, with no hair on the face, was just found on good ole boys down South. I was surprised to see it on cool dudes and family men. Still looks weird though.
The Displays
I didn"t go to any shows, but I saw the fire and water fire displays outside a couple of the hotels. I"m not really interested in these but, not for the first time, I was bemused to see half the crowd recording the displays on their phones. Hey guys, it"s on now - you"re missing it in order to record something you"ll probably never watch. And if you do want to see it again, there"ll be a much better recording on YouTube than the crappy version you"re making.
The Shorts
It was damned hot and a lot of men wore shorts, but they all only seemed to wear khaki shorts. I was surprised that the men"s clothing was so conservative when it came to shorts, but old and young, cool dude or not, if they had shorts on, they were khaki. Very disappointing.
The Pianos
The duelling pianos at Harrahs are incredible. How they achieve they atmosphere they do in that bar is beyond me. Two singers bash out middle-of-the-road songs and play baby grands and, somehow, whip a couple of hundred people into a frenzy. "Sweet Caroline, dum dum dum........"
And finally.............
The Hookers
More to the point - where were they? I never saw one the whole time I was there. I had heard that you couldn"t walk on The Strip or go into the hotel bars there without being accosted. Well, I spent plenty of time walking around and tried the casinos and bars in The Rio, Harrah"s, The Quad and Flamingos without once being approached. As there was nothing doing in any of those, I tried The Mirage and The Venetian, but still no luck. There was one very attractive girl who spoke to me in The Venetian, but it turned out that she was just looking for her friend. We chatted for a while about general topics, like which hotel I was staying at, but then, just when I thought we were getting along well, she had to go to carry on looking for her friend.

What am I doing? Made a tight fold pre-flop and missed out on flopping a Royal Flush. Then they start betting big. I"m sure I could have beaten whatever they had:
