Stars and Apostle for Hustle

very good gig, after warming up with some Virtual Fighter action with the one who originates from Iceland, we slammed into the gig. Apostle for Hustle were cool, lead dude was funny and a bit crazy, not sure I'd get their album though. Stars were very good, the main singer guy appeared hammered/stoned, but it appeared just that he was feeling the music so much he was tripping a bit. Awesome. Flowers were even thrown from the decorations that littered the stage, good fun.

Wetter than my soul

Today is extremely moist. It's horrendous, and to make matters worse the mean nurse stabbed me full of Hep B, Rabies and Japanese Euchieplghlaksdjhsaettious and then force fed me cholera. It tasted like fuzz. I returned home triumphantly full of disease, after I was monitored for 30 minutes in case my heart stopped and my brain swelled of course. I didn't, obviously I'm immortal.

I then set out on the 55 minute journey to brighton. Which took 5 hours, cos of the hippy roads being flooded by the gypsy rain, and then pikey fools, crashing their frickin' lorries into more fools. Eventually I arrived in brighton damn damn late, and me and dan dan icelandic dan rushed to the gig, where we just arrived in time for Hundred Reasons. Exceptionally good! I have the proof in the photographic form:

To London!

And so we did. First hit hyde park, which is big, and really dope. Ate some sandwiches we prepared, and wander on along the water side. I got to take a photo of two american girls, one was quite hot. There were fountain's involved and the such like. Then we came up on The Albery Memorial. It's classic british pomp. Love it:

Very big. Anyway, it's right in front of the albert hall which we oooh'd at:

then we checked into our hotel, which was alright, and then headed out to find some form of food establishment. Actually I lie, we went to the Natural History Museum for a few hours, looked at some cool exhibits about our place in evolution and some interesting reading about primates. We were going to see the dinosaur section but it was packed with stunted people. We then found an organic Italian place, and although I have certain issues with the current organic "culture", I'm not one to care, and it was jolly yummy. I had pasta, chillis, chicken and pepperoni. It may have had al fredo at some point in the title. I also had an organic beer, which was of good quality and decent alcohol. Plus mum paid, so bonus. We then pootled back to get ready to see Don Mclean at the Albert Hall, my hair was like this:

Which was nice. We then went to the concert, and it turns out, the hall is an impressive site, nearly as impressive as the panorama feature on my phone:

Don Mclean was vastly excellent, and played non stop for 2 hours. Which is impressive as he's like 62. American Pie was an amazing sing along standie up clappy affair, which everyone seem to enjoy, and loads of his other songs were really well done. He had an opening act was really good, though can't remember her name. She was possibly Irish, but lived in Australia. After the gig, my mum was all excited, and I was hungry, so we went to a shop and I got a powerade and some pringles. Good times. Then I read some of my AI for Game Developers book.

Bristolia

After being thoroughly distracted by being rubbish, and playing lots of 360 I finally managed to make my way down to Bristol to meet my homeboy+gal of the Bristol variety. Met them in a nice pub called The Old Fish Market, where we had a delicious thai meal (red curry for the Tom as recommended) , from there we went on to see young Jason Mraz on a boat.

The gig was really good, and he worked the crowd like he'd done it before or something. The beer was good as well. After jamming to some mellow tunes, we went to another pub to finish the night in a pool of beer and kebab debauchery. mmmm kebab.

Less Than Jake

Awesome gig, totally sweaty as a fucktart. I must have drank about 10 litres of water or something stupid. Don't combine gigging with beer. The lead singer nearly started on the bouncers for beating up some kid. Sam even got to go on stage, check it foo:
POW!

ZAP


Ahem well yes. Look I'm gonna be honest I'm updating this on the 23rd Nov. So here's a snippet of info we found out tomorrow. Turns out Sam cracked a rib in the mosh pit, which is quite impressive really.

WOOSH.

D wikka DJ wik wik wikky Yoda

whoa, now that was a gig and a half and a bucket of dopeness chucked all over it. totally one of a kind, DJ yoda mixed up 2 hours worth of movie clips with some hot tracks on a big screen, some highlights:
