Hello from Ireland! We are sitting in an internet cafe in Dublin. It is raining outside and we have just eaten a bunch of flapjacks (butter,oats, and sugar). I think we really need some vegetables soon! Our first leg in England was awesome! the first gig was at a place called the Windmill a bit off the beaten path. It had a sort of Caribbean vibe to it. we played with 3 other bands who were very cool and played really nice music (Bone-Box, Stars of Aviation, and Sister). We couldn't have asked for a more attentive audience. Also, Stuart the promoter, was so sweet and has already asked us about coming back again. Yippee (We're thinking Nov).
After the gig, we slept at a friends house who was squatting. This was my first experience doing this. It seemed completly normal, the only drawback of squatting is no hot water.

The second show was at Betsy Trotwoods. It is an intimate place with a listening crowd. We played with Alf who were a really great band and Hoover Pitman which are old friends of Benjamin's. Again, another night of great music. The sound was really good and we met a lot of interesting people afterwards. Playing to a new audience has been fun. I have been getting goosebumps while we play which I hope means that we are giving them to the audience.

The third show was at a place called the Roadhouse in Manchester. That was a fun gig which we played with Bone box again. We were pretty tired at that point of the English run because we had only slept for a total of 10 hours in 3 days...I know that benjamin is going to do another posting soon, and since the computer is flashing angry messages at me in Irish to get off...I better go for now.
