Hi, Mell, good to hear that no lumps were found!
Contrary to the anonymous rumours, Julia was there. Strangely, she actually stood in the queue in TJ. Lately, she just shows up to the venue a little before doors and someone from Morrissey's staff lets her in early so that she doesn't have to queue. It's not like she stands in the queue all day, though. She just walks to the front of the queue and claims her entitled space. I'm somewhat envious, but I always make it to the front if I bother to queue and she hardly takes up any space. I also have to say that she certainly has put in her time, sleeping out in the cold dark streets like a houseless person for
several tours. And it's not like she can't afford a posh hotel! You know it's love and true dedication.
In TJ she was standing to the right of center stage (more on the Mikey Farrell side). He mentioned her name once. Moz hasn't been handing her the mic for a couple of shows. The 2nd time Moz gave me the mic, I realised that Moz didn't give Julia the mic that night -- Myrtle Beach.
