The location resembles some sort of bizarre holiday camp as you can see from this photo (below); cameras weren't allowed so we are relying on top rock n roll photographer Nick Banks for most of these.

Ha, they made it in Istanbul, and I was there. It is hard to believe that it was last night and I was there jumping 7-8 m away from Jarvis' microphone right in front of me ... perhaps it was not Pulp's greatest concert experience, but I think it was great, and all people who went there, went to see Pulp and no-one else. Jarvis was great, and actually I was not too able to pay too much attention to the others in the group, cos he was some energy vampire or whatever - just caught your whole mind and thoughts and attention while performing. 

Can't explain how it was was just great, suppose you know how it feels to see Pulp live. I am sorry for non-punctuation typing, but Istanbul is 560km away, and since Thursday morning 7am i had totally 7hrs of sleep and 1200km driving, Istanbul sightseeing and tickets-searching, beer-drinking in an incredible heat and humidity, and a non-stop shouting and jumping in that great concert night... So thank you, and happy birthday to me today, that was a great present (Katia)
