back from Eire
I'm back...
I had a great trip, though it went by incredibly quickly and we had almost zero down time. We followed the band's van from city to city. Schedule is: play a show, stay up until 4 in the morning singing and drinking, wake up late,drive to the next hotel, drop off your stuff and then head straight to the venue for sound check. And then do the exact same thing the next day..The energy and enthusiasm was incredible though... It was amusing to see all the young Irish lassies rush Josh after a show. Its no exaggeration how big he is over there.
The drives from city to city were green, sunny, (surprise!) and sheep filled. Em gets many kudos for driving on the opposite side of the road while on the opposite side of the car.. She ruled the road...
So, we weren't on our schedule but it was still a blast. Em and I sold merch. for two of the shows which was fun. We got to meet a ton of people that way and could answer their questions so much better than any random merch person... I would love to live in Dublin someday. Its such an old beautiful city, yet really young feeling.
I did manage to hit the LUSH in Dublin and also pick up Crunchies formoxiegirl and Feminax forbirchdryad... We also got to see the French duo Air our last night in Dublin.. Amazing show! Alright,more catching up on work needs to be done!
