Enter Shikari tonight

Posted by Rob (#1) on June 26, 2007 14:16 CEST

Going to the pub last night (and Sunday, and Saturday, and Friday) might not have been such a brilliant idea because I'm rather knackered and Enter Shikari is playing at Waterfront tonight so I won't have a chance to get much sleep.

Sucks to be me! ;)

GIAN 2007 London Day 2

Gigs

Posted by Rob (#1) on April 28, 2007 23:59 CEST

Woke up early again, despite a long fun day before. Jamie urged me to get to Earl's Court quick because the queue was already quite huge in the morning and indeed when I got there around 10:15am I was fortunate I could jump in at the spot he and Yaels already were. Laura and Tash joined us not much later and we had a lot of fun when a drunken girl crashed in Jamie's arms only to be taken away by the medic later.

The music on Saturday was only so-so, the only band I really wanted to see were Enter Shikari. They only played a short show due to the singer having lost his voice - which was also the reason their April shows I planned to attend have been postponed to June.

Talking about so-so things, it was so boring to meet Laura again! I just had to snog Jamie again. Which probably wasn't such a good idea, he kept humping me all night and what I just said about Laws is bollocks so I wasn't really thinking about Jamie all that much. I was busy enough trying to focus on not falling in love head over heels.. blame (thank?) Jamie if I was too distracted to succeed at that. ;-)

(Post-dated entry, written later than it appears to avoid an endless row of pictures inside the journal.)

Ready for GIAN

Happy St. George's Day! I'm ready for Give It A Name!

On Saturday Powerfest gave me a nice preview featuring the likes of MxPx, Mewithoutyou, Sparta, Mindless Self Indulgence (yay!), Motion City Soundtrack and Jimmy Eat World. Added bonus: Voodoo Glow Skulls.. awesome!

This morning I booked a nice hotel in the Bayswater area which. It costed me more than I'd like to admit, but maybe now I'll finally learn to find a hotel early on. For some reason it's hard to find a good deal just four days prior to arrival.. oops.

Two more days of work after this one and then I'm off to Kinki for a new haircut on Thursday, followed by a pre-flight gig at Waterfront (Tiger Army). Then it's off to London City Airport, check-in to the hotel, party like a madman (HIM, Alexisonfire, Mindless Self Indulgence), sleep. Saturday: meet up with Laura, Jamie and Natasha, maybe hit Camden, party some more (Enter Shikari, Juliette and the Licks, Senses Fail, New Found Glory), sleep some more and/or party late at Camden. Sunday: meet up with Laura again, party some more (AFI, MxPx, Hellogoodbye), sleep.

On Monday all of Holland will be celebrating our monarchy (meh) so instead I'll do some shopping in London and late at night I'll fly back to Rotterdam with VLM airlines. I'm off on Tuesday as well so that means I can sleep in which in turns means that whenever I said sleep before I really meant party, snog and shag because why waste time in London asleep?

Yup, I'm ready for GIAN!
