Could anyone who's traveling from the U.S. to London today pick me up a few cartons of Salem 100s? I'd appreciate it. I think you're only allowed to bring 200 cigarettes into the country, but if you stuff a carton into each pant leg and jacket sleeve, you should be OK.
So, tonight we play the Download Fest at Castle Donington. I remember back when I was in Shotgun Messiah wishing one day we could actually make it to the Castle, to play alongside Ozzy and Maiden. And here it is. I'm finally at Donington, and all I can say is, after all these years you think they'd figure out how to set up toilets that don't overflow. Not that that is bothering anyone here. The fans have been kicking back here for a few hours already, and I think it's safe to say that if it's not moving, it's a candidate for an impromptu toilet.
We're not on until 7:45 tonight, but I decided to stop by early to check out the scene and give my best wishes to the Murderdolls on their show this afternoon. I promised there would be much booze and assorted decadence when we met up, and I always keep my promise.
Damn, now I have to find a toilet.
