airports idaho and other non sense
well well well.............after being tattooed on my pubic area by the lovely jo harrison in birmingham i set off to heathrow.......it took ages to get through the airport and on the plane over was sat next to a man with the stinkiest feet ever!I arrived at nyc newark at 12.30am and got detained and questioned by homeland security for about 2 hours......fun but i obviously convinced them as they let me through.after taking ages to get a cab I finally arrive at the hotel at 4 am.great except i had to be at another airport at 7..........
get to said airport and my plane is delayed.joy. try and find food and its all so non vegan i feel nauseous.double joy. Anyway so i spend the rest of the day waiting at airports(i had 3 changes) managed to get quite drunk at one not sure how as american beer is awful.but i kinda had to planes freak me out and i refuse to take valium......on my final plane(which was to boise, Idaho) I was seated next to some fat guy from salt lake city, utah. Now I'm very good at saying what i'm thinking when i shouldnt. So to the fat man from utah I made the faux pas of asking him all about the freaky polygamous sects they have there he wasnt impressed but i'm guessing he was a freaky poligamist,(men your all the same wanting you cake and eating it too), but anyway i digress. get to boise-now its late and i've been travelling it feel like forever-so i'm mad and i feel even better after the airport say they have lost my bag!!!!!!!!!!! i am waiting on a phone call on its whereabouts-they will ship it to wherever i am-i hope they find it!The show was good, even if it did make me feel so old!!skarp seem like a nice bunch of people.
Had the best taco ever for breakfast this morning....the town of boise itself is quite cute and everything is uber pretty as all the leaves are turning and everywhere you go pumpkins litter the sidewalks, the drive to richland, washington was interesting everything is very dusty and dry looking and flat-like a big expanse of nothing then suddenly you hit these massive mountains.
So now i'm in a hotel and tonight is the first proper night of the tour-think its going to be a busy one!Should be interesting too as i get to meet everyone on the whole tour for a month.........
got my bag back finally so i dont feel so crusty.well well the northwest is fucking cold!!!and to top that in spokane we had our van broken into and poor brad had all of his stuff stolen.....seattle was awesome and i got taken by the lovely skarp to a n amazing wholefood store-so now feel stupidly fat after all the treats i ate but it kind of made up for the badness of american gas station food-even the crisps aren't vegan!!portland was cold !!and stayed up way to late at a bonfire party afterwards. its a shame skarp arent doing anymore of the tour with us-they are a great band and super awesome people-who am i going to throw stuff at now eh? Every night i was so busy its crazy...... california ws so warm!!yay!!! fucking love california!!!!!!!!!had such a great time here!not only is the weather amazing but had some awesome food and the people here are so chilled out. spent my day off in LA -istaying with Lizzi who is awesome. Li went on the SG radio show which was fun stza even phoned in to talk to me on the air!!
The shows have been going really well, and its cool because my friend L is on tour with one of the other bands so i get to hang out with her a lot-she keeps trying to get me to move to nyc.....mmm tempting.
San Fran is my favourite so far-i went to the fat wreck chords offices and did a cd raid, the people who work there are really nice.
I had a photoshoot that afternoon then shopping.....didnt want to leave.
Ok so went from san diego to san ysidro(man it was so hot think it was like record temperatures for that time of year...) the boarder town, it was so wierd seeing all the helicopters and patrols and stuff, i think its so stupid the whole concept of boarders, and the way the USA obsessively protects them is silly. Anyway so we walk to TJ, mexico as we didnt want to look like a band and get shit from the police. TJ isnt really mexico, saw lots of dodgy hookers, and everything is so cheap there.....the show was ok but everyone was knackered.
we had a few more shows in cali then started working our way up to the east side...
Arizona was a fun place!!went had a day off and went there, me stampy and angela went to a bar to play pool on the walk to a bar we got called cowfuckers, then someone else drove by and called us mother fuckers-then something else I didnt hear-Welcome to Tuscon huh!?
The bar we went to was cool we ended up playing doubles with random people.....the show the next day was sad as it was citizen fish's last day....they are an awesome bunch of people....
My favourite show in that part of the US was at Emo's in austin, TX the venue was awesome, stampy and I got loads of tips and everyone is so attractive there! which i totally didnt expect....
The east coast was so damn cold-but was made better by my purchase of a wrist rocket and some paint balls, brad and stampy had one too and it was much fun making everything pink.....we also had lots of fun shooting fireworks at each other in washington dc.....we arent irresponsible honest!!Washington was cool actually-I studies politcs at Uni and a large part of my course was american politics so seeing all the buildings i'd read about was interesting.Oh and I met Oki too she is lovely!
Oh and In Philly the vegan Pizza is divine, Mischief Brew came on those last few dates and they are super awesome too..they have the cutest little dog ever.The show at astbury park was interesting as loc split the set between 2 venues due to some local politics, the final show was in boston, and it was an early one so we headed back to NYC, and I went with Stza and Ezra to The Me first and the Gimme Gimmes aftershow...which ws much fun!
Anyway I had a blast and met so super people, learnt a lot not only about myself but about life in general and I'm going to miss everyone very much especailly Lizzi and Skarp.....
