Just woke up from a late night drive to Nathaniel Green's house from Stoke. We stayed up to watch a bit of Bo Selecta, which was quite hilarious if you are into absurdist humor. Would-be-Anglophiles take note if you want the ante up with standard bbc america viewers...ha. Seeing as how everything that comes out of our mouths on tour is completely absurd, it is nice to watch and hear someone else for once, especially couplesseduceteens. I am sipping on a nice cup of tea with slippers on, as if I was some sort of homebody rather than the ridiculous nomads we've been these past 14 months, and we even engaged in gay blind date sex. Tonight is a hometown gig for Nathaniel Green, which have I mentioned is the coolest lot of lads we've toured with in a while! We're told it will be ultra packed and a very very late night. We all could use a bit of party, as last night's gig was pretty sparse on the turnout...and...it's friday...and we ain't got no job! Ok, enough popular culture referencing...I must get going to start my day of guitar hopping...something I didn't think I'd ever see myself doing, as I have been quite the guitar holder lately...ha.

This will be short, as I am strapped for time left at this virgin megastore internet cafe. For those who have inquired, the Worcestor gig this saturday is definitely on. It is at a different venue (i think the new venue might be saracen's head). Stay tuned for details, or email info@fireflyrecordings.com for more info. We are in Newcastle right now, and the weather is lovely! I have massive swollen glands above my right ear right now, so I might look for a doctor or hospital. It is not a tumor...say it arnold, please say it! Anyhow, we couldn't be happier to be on tour with Nathaniel Green...fucking cool band and ultra fun lads!!! Let's hope tonight at least we get a discount at the bar so we can afford a few extra pints...it is real tough coming to England after Germany, where the beer is more 10x more abundant than water backstage and one girl even had her first anal sex. We are so looking forward to the hometown gig of N. Green this Friday in Wakefield. More soon...
