"you're the kind of person that goes places in life"

I'm sitting this on the third story of a flat we're staying at, in Nottingham England. Today was our last day off of the tour, we have 3 more days left on this roller coaster of a tour. Sadly after all is said and done, I will miss the no sleep, long drives, shitty turn outs and mass consumption of bread. Regardless, I cannot wait to come home and lay in bed and play my guitar some more.

So I suppose this is an update: Yesterday we played with Trash Talk, this was our second show with those guys and tomorrow is our third and last. I've always known Spencer, their bass player, but I never knew the other guys, getting to know them these past couple of days has been good. Their sets are always out of control, which is not surprising, being that I've played with them multiple times at home and have seen their reactions there. I'll look forward to seeing those guys when I'm back at home.

Now if you read my post previous to this, you'd see a picture of me infront of the infamous Lads club. Yes, I went there. Yes, I went to Strangeways prison. Yes, I went to Vinyl Revival, where Morrissey buys records and bought something for my self. Yes, I was happy and miserable in Manchester. Standing infront of the lads club was so surreal, I almost didn't expect it to be an actual place. I walked up to the building and ran my fingers across the brick walls thinking "Morrissey has touched these walls before"...I knocked on the door hoping someone would open them and let me in the Morrissey shrine room. "I know my luck too well" though, and as fate would have it, there was no door keeper allowing me into the little piece of heaven. I was still satisfied. Manchester, so much to answer for...I wish you'd answer the door.

Today we went to a vegan restaurant in the morning and ate a semi good breakfast...it might have been too much for how good the food was, but I suppose anything beats bread and jelly for breakfast. After the vegan restaurant we walked around the down town area and watched kids jump into water fountains and watched them go into a man made beach right in the middle of a downtown square. I looked around for some shoes I might have wanted to buy, but I didn't see anything I wanted. Tomorrow we will be going to the Fred Perry store and getting something, possibly?

London Thursday, Belgium Friday, Rome Sunday - Thursday.
