.Day 12 - 25.02.10 - Dublin, IRE.

It's been a hell of a whirlwind since the first day. Things have finally settled into a rhythm, and as I am saying that I am knocking on wood. The band is content, and the crew is content. The crew: we have a well oiled machine on this run. Steve Archie, Phay Mac Mahon, and Sir Willie are taking great care of us. Ski and I are learning valuable life lessons which are most important, and which we will take with us. To you, cheers gentlemen.

The shows thus far have been absolutely fantastic. The crowds have been estatic. And most importantly, the pints have been flowing.
You know, my family has been saying: "Do it while you're young". And they're referring to all of the traveling I'm doing whilst working. But, I think we're all young still. We can all travel anywhere we'd like at any time. My point: go for it. If you have a desire to go somewhere to see something, then do it damnit.

Mucho amor...

Day 1 -15.02.10 - London, UK - Travel Day/Crew Meeting

Spent most of Sunday night and Monday morning/afternoon on a plane surrounded by British high schoolers. They were on their way home from a field trip to Universal Studios/Disneyland. A few of them had just watched Forrest Gump for the first time, and they were quite fascinated. I fell asleep to them quoting the movie, and woke up to the same. My row consisted of two Swiss homies, a girl separated from her high school pack, and myself. The poor girl was overwhelmed with a fear of flying and being surrounded in a row of grown men. So, I offered my seat to one of her classmates. In return, I got to sit next to two of her hip classmates and we shared drinks before I passed out. Forrest Gump and Family Guy, it's their current obsession.

Not really sure what the next two days have in store before the big first show in Nottingham. Some things have happened within the camp that I won't go into great detail about, but it's upset quite a few people. It kills me when people don't have principles. Simple principles, at that. With that said, my goal in Nottingham is to find the sheriff. Wish me luck.

Ski, Tom, Kentucky, and I got a recommendation on a good pub a short walk from our hotel called "The Pheasant".Here we had a few proper pints of Guinness and plate of fish and chips. Later in the evening we meet up with a few other crew members. One thing we all have in common: no matter how things end up on this tour, we want to make it a great time regardless. I'm in.

Always...
