title A CISU Blues Festival at the SCC Social Club, Ipswich, Suffolk - 27th November 2004 intro At work in Cambridge, Qualcomm is refitting the former Trigenix's IT infrastructure, which includes all of its laptops. That means around 40 laptops in a room all installing Windows at the same time. Then, following a night at the Ipswich Blues mini-festival at the County Council's social club, it's time to hang out around Andrew and Heidi's, and then mill around Ipswich for a bit. There are a few repeat-ish photos of the social club scene, but there aren't that many that really show off the 1960s/70s glory of the place, which was demolished in the summer of 2022. img_1265 IBM Thinkpads are stacked on boxes img_1269 Andrew and Russel in the Dhaka Diner img_1270 Andrew looks daunted by the mound of food img_1271 Guitar action in the SCC Social Club img_1272 A bass guitar and lights img_1277 More bass guitar action img_1279 A bit of dry-ice smoke for extra effect img_1283 Russell holds a beer up img_1285 Nosher with a pint img_1287 Andrew gets his tongue out img_1288 Russell in the social club img_1289 Nosher returns from the bogs img_1291 Nosher and Russell, who's on the bottles img_1292 Nosher and Russell img_1294 Russell sticks his tongue out img_1296 Andrew does some texting too img_1298 More band action img_1300 A bit of a harmonica moment img_1305 A five-string bass img_1309 The view from the mixing desk img_1316 Andrew's still texting img_1317 The "cloakroom" corridor on the way out img_1318 There's snow on the hedge on Rope Walk img_1319 Andrew gets into a car img_1322 We drop Russell off at "Property A" img_1329 Heidi with Foster the dog imgp0435 The home office is a regular tip of stuff imgp0444 At Qualcomm Cambridge, laptops are installed imgp0449 A million new installs of Windows XP imgp0452 Sydney or Milo - the bug-eyed cat imgp0456 Nosher and Foster imgp0459 Sydney or Milo roams around imgp0470 A cat appears imgp0477 A Santa fire engine trundles down Tacket Street imgp0478 The vintage Port of Felixstowe fire engine imgp0483 The procession heads up Upper Brook Street imgp0487 On the market place imgp0490 Ipswich markets imgp0491 A fruit and veg stall imgp0492 Lots of strawberries and mangoes imgp0493 Nosher bumps into former colleague Joe imgp0494 Joe and his sprogs
