I’ve been terrible at updating this. haha, it always happens!
it’s taken me ages to do another entry and ive pretty much forgotten everything that could be worth writing here.. I’ll start at the Birmingham show though..
B’ham was fun, we did super well on merch and the kids were really friendly.. the Lights, Action! guys let me crash on their travelodge floor which was amazing of them, shout out to them!
after the show we all went out to some place called Sports Bar or somethigng and it was pretty cool.. £1.50 a drink.. we had probably a bit too much to be honest, but we just hung out and had a few pints and watched NFL and chatted about stuff. that place closed and we went to some random pub on the canal.. there were some locals in there that were weird, they kept walking past and laughing at my glasses and at Josh’s tattoos.. I was in the mood for a fight but we ended up leaving. haha!
Manchester was next, hometown yo! I’m glad everyone came down, just feel a bit bad that we didn’t get a chance to hang out and stuff, I didn’t mean to be antisocial, it just got pretty busy..
I went back to Benito’s after and we just had a beer and a pizza and chilled out, i ended up falling asleep for a little while and then I got a cab home as i had to pack and get up super early to get to glasgow in time for the show..
(while its fresh in my mind, im mad this thing doesn’t autocorrect the text I type, like capitalize it when i write “I” etc.. laaaame!)
i got to glasgow about 1.30pm, and I was sharing the train with some of the guys that went to a ton of the shows, it was fun hanging, we should some more. pizza hut was tassstty! glasgow was awesome though.
the flood of red boys came down and Calum, i fucking love you! greeat night, i got you that CD and everything. Rev was good fun! “and its alllll down hilll fromm herrreeee!!” haha! lame about my passes falling off, but i love the dude that handed them in.
this guy called adam was there, he used to date my ex and me and him nearly had a bust up once when i was at glasgow on tour with fightstar.. i ended up calling the police on him and ive wished everyday since that id hit hm.. i was so tempted to, and i would have done if he had stuck around a little longer. beatdowwwwnn. i hope he fucking recognized me.
it was surreal staying at Calum’s friends house, but good times.. that bed got super tight haha, sorry about the snoring! and also getting you up so early!
train from glasgow to london didn’t take as long as I’d have thought, I basically slept a lot of it, but i was craving the internet, so the first thing i did when i got to LDN was find somewhere with Wi-Fi. did that, and loaded in.. had like 3 Starbucks and sorted merch out, didn’t need to do much as a ton of it had been sold.. i was pretty proud of my display to be honest!
soo mad that the tour wasn’t longer though.. it’d have been sweet if the This Providence boys had stayed over here for longer and done a co-headlining tour with anberlin, and had the luke pickett boys and lights action support too. and also had it at like a 2 week length. i’m well in the mood for more tour right now.. i’d love to jump on one soon.
brb, im gonna finish writing this when i get home… just pulling into manchester. x
haha, oh wait! we’re just pulling into stockport, so i got a bit more time to type on here.
after the underworld show i was meant to go out with Roxy and the lot, but Roxy left and to be perfectly honest I wasn’t up for it if she wasn’t going out.. sorry i took so long downstairs though! i had to count shirts and cash and pack away and take a tour photo and all that good stuff!
we went to some pub called the good mixer and we all said we would stay for one drink but it was more like 4. then they did last orders and i had to go back to the van to get all my stuff, and i was gonna meet Patrick before the night was out, but i got back to the pub and everyone had been kicked out and had no idea where anyone had gone so i just decided to go back to my uncles house in Finsbury park… that was a mission though seen as i had no idea how to get back to Finsbury and i was super drunk and had my £2000 Macbook Pro with me! hahaha. ah well, at least it didn’t get stolen!
I ended up lying on the couch watching mr bean’s holiday and falling asleep with my laptop on my stomach. i woke up and the movie had finished, so i just decided to watch it again on this train journey home!
btw, Elis, i bought 24 krispy kremes again! haha.
circa survive tonight and pete and a ton of kids are coming to uni today, so im gonna have to phone home and get some more money i think seen as freshers week is gonna be supppper messy!
basically this last week has been some of the best times of my life and i wish it had been longer…from trying a new kind of beer to talking to hayley (yeah i know thats super fanboyish, but fuck you!), its just been 100% great times.. i loved seeing all the new faces and all of my friends and i wouldnt trade that kind of lifestyle for anything.. well there is one thing, but if you know what that is then im pretty sure that you know that it isn’t going to happen.
right, well i basically i am in manchester now so im gonna have to go.. but mad shout outs to everyone i met on this tour and all of the guys on the tour with me.. its been great fun and i hope to see most of you in the very near future… id do a shout out list but im too lazy! you know who you are!!
peace and love, everyone take care and stay safe!
