day 4
norwich

am feeling rather groggy after a disturbed night with nowhere near enough sleep. a rear tire shredded on the tour bus and cut an air line and we had to pull off the road at half four in the morning into serives somewhere near stanstead. i hadn't even gone to bed at this point 'cause the noise it had been making for an hour was like a pneumatic drill inside the bus when we were at full speed.

so in bed at 5am. hauled out of our bunks at half 8 and onto a second bus to get us to norwich while our one was repaired. i thought it was 9 but i think the "hauler out of bedder" was trying to make us feel less disgruntled by making us think it was slightly later than it was.

the second bus tore down the road and it was a far from smooth journey. so, no sleep. just sat and drank sloshing tea and the lads examined a map of britain i had bought yesterday to get better oriented and we traded quite interesting geography related facts and trivia which i would share if i could remember them...

right, i'm gonna go find some food and avoid napping while soundcheck is on.

tomorrow is a very big day. sold out gig at the roundhouse in london. so, be surprised if you hear from me before liverpool on saturday.

post script: london gig works on a concession basis, which means i won't be physically selling anything, the venue does.
this is a good thing. it will be a busy night. there is a bleary smile on my face. biggest night on my watch and i'll be doing less than on any other night. :0)

keli - i have decided that when the lights go out over europe is probably my favourite dc song in the set. the one with the spooky plinky plonk notes in it. sends shivers up my spine everytime.

right, now for tonight's count and i want to do it before duke's drum check starts. chips big bass drum is not conducive to accurate numerics in the head.

be well
