Random Update

Hello LJ, I've missed you. :-)

~Finally done working before the big London Trip. Six days. I leave in six days! Here is just a partial list of the stuff I want to see:


The Tower/Crown Jewels
Tower Bridge
St. Paul's Cathedral
A Palace (Buckingham, Windsor or Kensington?)
Globe Theatre
Westminster Abbey
Parliament/Big Ben (tour or just a look from the outside?)
British Museum
Imperial War Museum (Need a pic of the Bullet in a Bible, natch)
London Eye (maybe)
Thames sightseeing tour
Abbey Road
At least one of the Markets (Covent Garden, Borough, Camden, Portobello)
Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square
British Library

~This is in addition to the three days in Reading. There are just too many bands I want to see. Woe is me.

~I've been listening A LOT to the new CD from Blaqk Audio. That's the side project of Davey and Jade of AFI. It's basically 80s techno-pop. It reminds me of lot of Depeche Mode, if that means anything to any of you folks. sick_of_me03 and I tried to get tickets to their show at the Mayan Theatre in LA, but surprise...they sold out instantly. (It's a 1000 person venue.)

~I cracked up at our little email from Billie Joe. It sounds like he actually might have written it himself.

~Gawd, I must have a boring life. I can't think of anything else interesting to talk about.

~Hope everyone is having a good night.

I'm seriously jealous of that Reading line up. Wow. You're gonna have to like, take notes or something in order to give us a full report. And of course, you need to be sure and ogle Audrey and Marisa's boys for them. ;)

And randomly, winner for the best name of a band Barb's never heard of goes to... Get Cape Wear Cape Fly

GTC for Barb! EEEEeeeeeeeeee! I feel all special. =)

How am I ever gonna figure out which bands to see? How? Every FBR band is there. The Living End, I definitely can not miss. I'll be running back and forth between stages like a mad woman. I just noticed that Cold War Kids, the band Marisa just saw, is there too.

I want to see The Academy Is... just so I can figure out how Beckett keeps his pants on.

COLD WAR KIDS ARE A MUST.

I'm sorry, did I just butt in there? ;) But seriously, if you can catch them, you should definitely try. And they are yet another reason why the Reading lineup makes me weep with joy and sadness that I am NOT THERE.
