moo

Apparently I've learnt to add videos to teh blogz0r. Rather than begin with one of the several videos I've taken at various obscure but personally notable concerts, I present you with...

...the Manhattan, KS cattle auction.

soundtrack: Sam's Town - The Killers

descamisada

My manager is a Scottish ex-bouncer who asked me how to say "more beer please" in Spanish. Still terrified of money, actual customers, and my seemingly limitless capacity for error, but feeling optimistic.

soundtrack: Famous for Nothing - Dropkick Murphys

here again

Long weekend sans MLK and on the wrong end.

Thursday: homemade chili con carne; proper Irish pints; nearly ceilidh; juggling act.
Friday: O'Neil's in Covent Garden; Becks in Fuel; British boys in boots; "me and the Spider".
Saturday: Green Park meander; Mrs. Windsor at home; Oxonians o'er London Bridge; curry in Brick Lane.

soundtrack: Bitches in Tokyo - Stars

rockstarspotting

At approximately 11.33 this morning my flatmate passed GC on the sidewalk outside Camden Road Station. Rather than cry, have a fit, and/or say "wtf? where's my GC spotting?" I am taking this as a sign.

GC as beacon: don't give up.
