take the national express special

well, this is likely to be my last post for a couple of weeks.

i head off today for the duke special/divine comedy tour... can't believe it's finally here. i am no longer an administrator, i am now, albeit temporarily, a merch roadie. i'm packed, and chris has given me the first 2 seasons of spooks has a comfort blanket for any lonely or insomniac moments on the road. thanks bro, much appreciated.

for those who have it i'm contactable on my mobile. i'll try and get internet access at some point.

i'll be back in belfast on friday 10th november for the belfast gig on the 11th and derry on the 12th. i'm hoping robin and i can coordinate our schedules on the 10th to get my tattoo done.

i'll be back in irwin and joining the ranks of the unemployed on monday 13th nov.

advance notice:
i'll be on a trip to Ontario from 19th december to 3rd january and then i'll be hauling my jet lagged ass to edinburgh for the lovely kirsty's wedding on the 5th jan. back in belfast sometime on the 7th january.
