Messy's Europe LOG pt. 1: LONDON
so... why did i go to europe? i was SUPPOSED to go there to record a hit single that would end up making me rich and famous beyond my wildest dreams. however, that fell through.
those sorts of "to-good-to-be-true" things always do.
so i rescheduled my trip so that i would be overseas for 3 weeks rather than 3 days. the trip was, for the most part, paid for... so i decided to beat that dead horse with a 2x4 into the ground, so deep that you'd never find the condoms.. wait,, what??
and here, my darlings, is my stinky travel LOG
PART 1: LONDON
monday, june 18:
i left LA at 11am on the 18th and arrived in london at 10am on the 19th, that's 19 hours of travel with about an hour of sleep...
tuesday, june 19:
as soon as i got off the plane, i trained to central london and met up with a buddy who took me straight to a recording studio, where i laid down lead vocals on one track and backup vox on about 5 other tracks. i can't say who the recording was for or anything.. it's a SECRET, but it's gonna' kick some serious ass, so bend over and touch your toes, ma.
after that i slept for 12 hours at my friend, pop's house. he's my technicolor butt buddy in london, weeEEEEE!!!!
wednesday, june 20:
grow a beard day. had a shoot, but they cancelled... wee!
thursday, june 21:
9am shoot with
team assassin at
the university of arts london. i dragged my happy ass outta' bed and met up with white storm, while johnny lazer was busy collecting dead and skinned rabbits for our shoot. i shat my pantaloons with ultimate joyousness when i heard that... i love me some skanky goreparts to play with, wee! he also showed up with tons of tortured, burned and defiled barbie dolls to play with. the shoot ruled and we got some good shots. more to come when i get the cd of images in the mail, but here's a preview playing card they made for me, wee!
