On the 4th day of November, your Ruby-hued venue plays host & bellows to an up-gust in a conflagration of the fates - One of the most significant, potentially Century-defining moments of it’s short, but already illustrious lifespan. The Mancunian debut of one Elizabeth Grant (a. k.a. Lana Del Rey), has potentially wide-reaching consequences for, not only music; but popular culture at large, art, feminism, dare I say it - even our very children?
I was initially nonplussed by the ‘phenomenon’ of the aforementioned person(s). Her incendiary debut, while a mildly diverting, admittedly affecting piece of pop-music was sha-boobled through a mouth so potentially measured & precise in it’s laconic offering of time-worn lugubriosity - that I was galvanised in a steely resolve to resist her harp-strings’ assault on my finger-gunk encrusted heartstrings.
Still, I must admit there is something beguiling about the girl…More fascinating still, is the clandestine but unarguable backstage machinations. The manoeuvres of certain ‘shady-agents’ if-you-will.
It is not, I assure you, my aim or intent to smite, slander or sully her already Punch Drunk reputation in the ‘Indie’ community - but rather to encapsulate a blisteringly significant moment in time.
Is she Betty, frigging herself red-raw on an acne’d couch? Or Camilla ‘THIS IS THE GIRL’ Rhodes? These duplicitous ripples are what I want, nay, NEED to witness. It is of utmost importance that I be party to the events that transpire tomorrow night.
I believe your guestlist to be already swollen to haemorrhage with curious onlookers. But should one of their number be unable to attend, I implore you draft me-in in their stead.
I’m a cantankerous bastard. A foul-mouthed and malodorous hobo. But one thing on which I pride myself, is a highly attuned Justice-Button. My ultimate aim is righteousness, and if the word of a stranger has any worth - I offer it unreservedly. Further to that word, I swear that the architects of my ethics forbid me from misplacing any faith you might deign to reciprocate.
Sincerely,
Chester Whelks

It is of the utmost importance that I be granted access to this event. If anyone can act as benefactor, and slip me inside the Ruby Lounge as officiously as an envelope in a pinstripe Jacket's inside pocket - I promise to write the only truly culturally aware, implication-dissecting piece of journalism to emerge from this auspicious occasion.

Damn, didn't think a UK tour would be coming up so soon. Does anyone know if tickets are completely sold out or if its just presale? Don't want the hassle of sorting out guest list.
