Friday, September 19th, 2008San Francisco: the last stop of the tour and one of the places I’d been looking forward to the most, thanks to hearty recommendations from Mike and Jess.

Friday, September 19th, 2008Two songs stuck in my head in the five days I spent in California. Not even whole songs, really, just two of the most annoying snippets of the songs concerned, which I couldn’t help but sing in comedy voices at various points throughout the day. Yep, out loud.
Song one was ‘California’ by Phantom [...]
i heart toronto :::
Saturday, September 13th, 2008My second trip to Toronto was even shorter than my first. A year and a half ago I went over for three days with Lil’ Chris to play shows in The Mod Club and in Hamilton, a town just outside the city. I had a great time trudging through crisp white snow, enjoying [...]

NYC is always a blur (in a good [...]

united states of…argh i overslept! :::
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008It’s the first day of my two week trip to the US, travelling around from New York - Philadelphia - Washington - Chicago - Toronto - Anaheim - LA - San Francisco and home again. I am at the airport, having missed my 9.30 flight after waking up at 7.45, shaking with the horror [...]
