Finished work and met up with Greg and Joe in oxford and headed off to London on the tube:). We where going to head to the pub just across from hmv till closing, meet Alice then head to hmv, but when we got there we saw 15-20 people already queing, Seriously, some had been there since 8, so we panicked a bit with the thought of losing out on being in the first 50 and thus no free gig tickets so just decided to go for it.
9pm - 9am ... the longest 12 hours of my life.
- Surviving off mcdonalds, ergh, its cheap but after 4 burgers, its grim
- Orchid came along for a few hours which was cool as i havent seen her in ages, she brought her knitting too, Genious.
- Me and joe had a complete session of grim jokes, proper bad ones, it covered everything but lead to the "bottle bank" story, its grim so i wont give details but was epically funny at the time
- Sushi super hero, basically a guy who was pretty bungalowed at the time came over for a chat, he had attached foil and other various bits to himself, awesome
- The 20p Tramp
- Every 5 seconds there was a "That's what she said" joke, without a doubt
- "Would you like some Soup?" ha basically two people came along handing out free soup and bread, they thought we were homeless, at the time it seemed amazing, until we realised it was cold and pretty much tasted foul and looked like sick, so it became more of a running joke of Soup with added DEATH, guys infront made a pyramid out of the cups :)
- Telling passers by we where waiting for A) miley cyrus tickets B) Harry Potter book C) Sports clothes sale which was the shop behind us D) Jackson four tickets. you can see it got more confident, so it lead to shouting at any passer by with a guitar to play lostprophets, failed miserably but generally then lead to us (well i mean i) generally shouting at every passer by just to scare them.
- Pigeon boy and his nobhead friend, they where just mildly annoying all night (but they got owned later on)
- Mega lols forum Lady's, who where strange as hell but pretty awesome
- about 7am, as we where all just dozing off, we got moved to the side entrance, to which we lost about 40 places down the que, teamed up with the forum ladys we complained and got moved to the front :) good times but we then got ID'd to check we where over 16 ... i mean come on.
9am Finally came around and its never felt so good to just be inside, warm and getting the wristbands for the secret gig, FREE PROPHETS GIG XD, complete Win. Although the signing wasn't actually till 5pm, 9am was just for gig tickets/ the cd, so we headed back on the underground to Joe's halls, for a cuppa, special k and a power nap.
headed back to Hmv, which after sleeping in the day, was the weirdest feeling, as my mind expected it to be morning and everything fitted like it should have been. but it wasnt, it was sunset instead of sunrise, the kids of the underground where coming home from school not going there, and it was just generally a complete mind fuck. but yeah got there and whilst waiting for the signing, we got interviewed ... just lol but yeah ill add the video in a bit, but there all just legends, especially the drummer, but i think he was loving it more than we where as hes new to the band, but yeeaahh signed cd :D
Headed off to islington on the underground, although there was some signaling problem earlier and they had just opened up the station as we got there, little to say ive never seen it so rammed in my life. bad times but Pub "The famous Cock" then relentless Garage :D
It was nothing short of epic. even if the relentless garage had run out of relentless, so no jager bombs but it was just a casual atmosphere, no supports, they could play what songs they wanted to and they had the chance to just fuck about on stage, best line for me, "we havent changed a bit, just wear tighter jeans, infact hang on, well go off and come back in a second .." HA the image is the only thing ive ever knocked, so just jokes ... but yeah, incredible, fucking loving the new album :D
Got on the underground back, and this is pretty much the crash point, where the tea and power nap wore off, bad times
Tuesday:
Got up at 1 ha, 12 hour sleep, then hannah poped around for a catch up which was good times, then getting ready for work at 6, found i hadnt quite come out of the mosh pit/ wall of death unscathed, in the shower found theres a fuck off gash across my left side, bad times. but yeah got back from work and something ive missed, late assed conversations on msn/fb into the early hours, havent had that for a while so it was good times :) bring on plymouth soon
Today:
Nothing but work really and planning friday's night out, which im looking foward to as loads are out and about, that and my interview for the army is now next week... :) but now its dinner
