The thumping strains of Katchafire are drifting - well, not drifting, more like pummelling - through my open window as I type. A big crowd hasn't been the slightest bit deterred by some flimsy rain and is skankin' it up on the Village Brown. The giant service station overhang is doing a good job of keeping the punters out of the wet. Chief Plastics Engineer/Vice-Chancellor Roy Crawford can be happy. The Hub project is his baby, and there's no way the old shops could have kept quite as many people happy and dry. A quintillion dollars well spent.
