The person Ian Gordon, Librarian and Clarinet Teacher regards himself as a fairly straight-up, if slightly humourless person. The "Flatspin" persona is the other slightly crazy side of myself, a person available to fly anywhere, anytime with no regard for what is being flown or where or what time such item/ items are flown. I have over the past few years have had great pride in this slightly loopy side of myself as this has provided great relief to me from the very serious and professional person I am forced to be in my role as teacher and librarian. I was thus deeply disturbed tonight to find somebody at my Kenilworth centre hang out that is some orders of magnitude weirder than me. Coming from the drome at 11.45p.m. it occurred to me that a change to the mechanical trim on a cyclic servo might have a good effect on the performance on the hopped up tail hk450 so to Kenilworth I drove. There i was greeted by a guy playing bongo drums in the parking lot. This dude was quite clearly nicely stoned on some good weed. I asked if it was ok if I flew around a bit. He looked at me sideways a bit and then said, "no probably man, but can I play my didgeridoo?" He then hauled out this huge didge from the boot of his car and proceeded to bongo drum and play the didge at the same time. The moral of the story is that if you dare to think that you are a bit strange.... don't panic, there is always someone weirder than you.
