I leave work at lunch time and call in the dry cleaners on the way to pick up my varsity jacket to wear to the high school themed party tonight. I bought this jacket of ebay a couple of weeks ago and it was a bit mistreated and smelled, but for £8 I could not go wrong, the problem was, because it had a wool body and leather arms the dry cleaner wanted over £30 to clean it, no chance! They did not tell me this though when I dropped it off only when I went to pick it up on Thursday (yesterday) obviously I was not going to pay this and I needed it cleaned quickly so they agreed to just give it a cold wash to remove the smell.

When I went to pick it up, it was still soaking wet as they had washed it but not dried it. So for the next two and a half hours when I was driving down to Northampton I had the heater on full blast with the windows closed trying to dry the thing with quite a bit of success.

I arrive at the Park Inn Northampton, check in and go to my room, I am on the sixth floor which is supposed to be the executive floor but I can’t see the difference to what a standard room would be. I then go down and pick up my registration pack for the event, this contains my gold pass which I tie around my neck with a cheap bit of string, photographs of the guests, some badges, Noah Bennett’s drivers licence, FHM poster and an Eclipse T-shirt. I then go for a walk around the dealers’ room to look at what is for sale and pass the time before the event begins that evening.
