We went to a really shit gig for about 20 minutes and left, stole a really shit bike, ran it over in DJ Wasp-e's car, laughed the old woman who was angry at us, and watched Jesse and Wills try and duck tape Owen to a lamppost.

well its a calm saturday morning now, and i've just finished a driving lesson.

my week has gone like this:

MONDAY - i cant remember what i did

TUESDAY - Trip to london to meet with richard from Drive thru records, we briefly met him for like 5 minutes in his hotel before we departed off to the tube station to go to shoreditch.
Once at shoreditch we got yelled at by some crazy american girls, turns out they know Josh and Jesse so they were excited to see them. They were going to the Furthest Drive Home show as were we so they helped us with the map reading and got us there. We waited for 5 minutes getting a bit worried that Owen wouldnt get in without ID as it was 18+ invite only. When Richard turned up at the show he got us in on the guestlist which was nice and took care of getting Owen in... phew.

FDH played, we admired, we chatted briefly. They are awesome guys and put on a good show. Then there was a bunch of pretentious short films and a lot of free CDs being handed out in 'goody bag' type things.

So we catch a taxi back to the hotel to save time. Richard and his other 2 friends Jack and Danny waited for us to get back and then we went to the hotel room to hangout, make some bets, eat some sushi and show him our CD. He's impressed by it, so thats a good thing.

WEDNESDAY - woke up on th floor of the hotel room, watched a bit of big brother and teen court. Then we departed and headed home on the train trying to think of new band names and going over funny shit that happened the night before.

Once i got home, i slept for 20 minutes, put a new string on my guitar and got whisked off to play a gig in Portsmouth. as soon as we got there we knew it would be hell. we were set to play last until some middle-aged generic pub rock band starts complaining about playing first so they ended up playing last and we played first. the venue was 18+ so hardly any of our friends could get in. OH... and theres a fuck off big leak in the roof right above where the lead singer would usually stand! we played, it was OK but without our synth player again so bit shod.

THURSDAY - I went to college, went to call for DJ Wasp-e with Patrick, but he wasnt in so i headed for home with hopes of going out tonight. i didnt, i just stayed in an slept =]

FRIDAY - my phone starts ringing at 6:20am...... I answer it and the voice at the other end says "Dan.... we're outside, are you ready?"

SHIT! my alarm didnt go off and i've got to get dressed up all smart to go for an interview to be an air traffic controller at 9am in London.

so I scram together some threads and i'm ready within 7.2 minutes. Into the car and off me and william go to the train station. we catch the 6:55 train and off we go.

we arrived to find that nearly everybody there was a universty graduate all looking around 26 years of age too, while me and william are sat there looking cute, but out of our depth. We had to do the hardest tests ive ever taken in my life. Logic tests etc..

we finish our testing day and we both think we didnt get in but thats fine because it was damn good experience. We float off to some shops around oxford and carnaby street and drift into the apple shop. we fell in love with the macbooks, posted a bulletin on myspace from the band account and then headed for home.

in the evening i got to see Charlotte, who i hadnt seen since last saturday so i was reall pleased to be with her again. met the grandparents again and then watched some Tv, fell really tired and headed for home where i fell asleep on the sofa.

now im here i guess, tomorrow im off to london again to see Hellogoodbye and Furthest Drive Home.

my first entry here. today i had 2 driving lessons and told my old instructor i was moving to hereford.... why? i dont know but it worked and he didnt mind too much. the new instructor is way better.

i went for a run today between my driving lessons... nearly died!

in the evening i hung out with charlotte, the gf-unit as she's comonly known. that was pretty cool we watched some madagascar followed by a bout of big brother which started y-day.

keepin this journal is probably a good thing for me, i'm always getting told off for forgetting things, cause my memory is 1st class shit.

If i forget that charlotte's english exam is on tuesday at 2pm, please kill me.

i'm gonna turn in now, rest is brutally needed for my empty day of nothingness tomorrow. also i feel ill now, i feel a throat infection coming on, its pretty grose and is starting to hurt =[
