The GazettE - PULSE WRIGGLING TO BLACK 1.5 - 27/10 Carling Academy
YEAH. IT'S FINALLY HERE. With a slight delay but it'll be worth typing it all out (And for you guys to read I suppose XD) Warning!! IT'S A LOT. MANY PICTURES. LONG TEXT. :D Thank you.
THURSDAY. GETTING TO LONDON -VOGELTJESDANS- Op stap met Tully en Moorkop.
It all started off on Thursday evening, when I had to get to Breda Station, where we'd all meet up and get on the Eurolines bus. I was there quite on time, as were the others (Who had to find me first XD) And then the waiting began. We had to be there at 9 to check in, but..At 9:30PM when the bus actually had to leave there was NOTHING there. Just Poland busses. There was an older couple waiting as well, and finally around 10, the bus arrived. We had a really nice busdriver, checked in and got our baggage in the bus, before sitting down ourselves. It was already really crowded in the bus, so we had a hard time finding ourselves a place. We decided to randomly sit down, next to others. Eef and I were sort of sitting next to each other, but on the other side there was some drunk English dude :T He was alright in the beginning, until he took out a knife. Fine, a knife. But it wasn't a pocket knife but this really sharp one. He kinda got agressive when the busdriver asked for pasports, so once we had a short stop we decided to go to the busdriver and complain about it. Eventually, the man lost his knife and we got to sit somewhere else. He put on some lame ass movie which made all the teenage boys giggle. In the end I managed to fall asleep somewhat, until we reached Calais. We had to get on the ferry to Dover there. Man was I excited XD. We explored the boat a bit, and since it was pretty crowded we couldn't sit down anywhere and there was no way we could go outside and have a pretty sight D: SO, we went to search for the arcade, played a little DDR. It didn't really take us long to get to Dover and I didn't feel sick at all! So, from Dover to Canterbury I didn't sleep, but from Canterbury to Dover,..OH man. Like an angel. Until we reached the big city. Bumps, rain..COLD!
FRIDAY. EXPLORING LONDON. -It's the feet that hurt-
Okay so, we arrived at Victoria Coach around 6:30 AM and needed to find our hostel. Subway = A BIG NONO. We were NOT in the mood to run around and search for it, so we took a cab. I LOVE ENGLISH CABS :D We were at the Generator Hostel in no-time. But...Rooms weren't ready until 2PM. We were lucky though, and got our room right away, so we could sleep a little :D We woke up around 11 and decided to explore London a little. BY FOOT. BY FOOT PEOPLE. And did we get lost XD. In the end we decided to buy a LONDON A-Z book, which helped us a lot. We accidently found the British Museum, after running around 983593 times. Japanese people thought we were quite an interesting sight as well XD Which was amusing.
We thought the British Museum would be hella expensive, BUT it couldn't hurt to try and sneak in. It appeared to be free. o___o WOW. We spend a whole afternoon there instead of finding the venue XD. But it was really interesting. Ancient treasures from EVERYWHERE. Mummy's, tomb's, Japanese tea ceremonies, warrior outfits, old books, paintings. It was TOO much to see, because we STILL had to figure out where the venue was AND we had to eat AND we wanted to see Camden. LOL, trust me, we managed to do it all. PLUS...Picadilly Circus :D Damn right we're awesome. We went to check out the venue first, where people were already lining up. (We walked from the British Museum to Carling Academy :D) Wished them goodluck and left to get something to eat. Wagamama's was really good (Not to mention expensive XD) But REALLY good. The woman at the desk said Camden would be opened 'till 8. LOL NOT. We got there and everything was closed/closing down, so we decided to watch some punks going to an event? (You see, we don't really have that here) We didn't want to go back to the hostel really, but we did. There we decided where to go next - PICADILLY CIRCUS BY FOOT. We accidently ran trough China town as well. Which,..Was shocking. There was a guy having some attack, laying on the floor and the police was standing there doing NOTHING. Don't they know first aid? I felt really sorry for the guy,..and the ambulance took really long to get there. (If you want to die. Go to London o_o. JUST KIDDING) So, we played pool for a while, went into the centre. Saw girls with boobs twice as big as their head. And then went to the arcade. I wasn't impressed at first sight but then we started to walk around. HOLY JESUS. If I had money,..I'd know where to spend my days :D It was getting kinda late, so after exploring a little we decided to go back. Walked trough China town again. Actually, we wanted to take a cab but before we actually had one we were already back at the hostel. [With Eef totally freaking out because she appearently had seen Kai in a cab XD] We were exhausted, our legs hurt and we really had to get some sleep for the next day.
I like England because it's so random and beautiful. On the other side. CHAOS!
EXCUSE ALL THE PICTURES e_e;
WARNING. DEAD PEOPLE!!
hide APPROVES!
OOH BED :D
Saturday. GAZETTE LIVE -Omg Juu, it's ERNIE!-
So. On Saturday we got up around,..Well. It should've been 9:30AM but once we're all fully awake it was almost 11. We missed breakfast, and our whole shedule got kinda screwed. We were suppose to go to Camden Market today BUT we didn't want to go to the hall TOO late. It took us quite long to get ready and it was around 2PM when we actually left. Got a cab (Because THE LEGS HURT!) to Carling and saw the line had grown a little. Well, little. It was a big mess to be honest XDD! So, we walked around the building and sat behind the others. It was kinda dead in the beginning but in the end, everyone was chatting, and I was searching for Rach and Hol. And then I accidently ran into Ten XD!! And Ashlin. OOOH it was really great to have seen you all darlings! The security was really tight, which was good. No linecutting and all. So Rach, Hol, Pon Ten and co stood with us. They were really nice with letting people in. No pushing, no stress. Everything was really calm. Didn't check my bag, so I hurried inside and got a place somewhere infront of Reita. There weren't much people infront of me at all, but once the hall got filled with people, the pushing started which annoyed me. There was this girl next to me who tried to get infront of me by leaning against me and shoving her elbow between the person infront of me and myself. Heh, no way chika. Her boyfriend was even more annoying :T. So. The lights go off. We're getting ready.

HEY. WHY DIDN'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CLAPPING PART?! I was a bit disappointed just after the last part people start to clap and everything. Really awesome nonetheless!
I really enjoyed the live, despite the fact I went to stand with Brian in the encore. [It's hard to do an encore, isn't it?] And we sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to Kai. Not really on the planned time but alright. I hope he enjoyed? o___o; Anyway..Stood with Brian and rocked my panties off at the last few numbers. Yet, I was annoyed by the amount of CAMERA'S that were hanging in the air. I know that the manager kept on pointing at people, and they actually got kicked out..but please :T Anyway. The show ended and they were throwing stuff into the audience. I was shouting to Eef I'd be going outside really fast, turned around and WHOM. Uruha's bottle RIGHT in my hands. (Actually more in the face XD) I walked out kind of overwhelmed with 9378593 girls screaming and pointing that I catched Uruha's bottle. [GOD DID I NOW?] Rushed outside, and looking around for Hol, Rach..Ten..Anyone I knew D: So I strumbled to the bus, and found Ten and Missy. Hung around with them and called Brian to tell them I was waiting at the entrance. I never found the others ;____;! BUT WE SHALL MEET SOON M'DEARS!
We waited and waited. Sang German songs XD! WAITED MORE. Made up new songs FT. Ruki. Got sent away by the security guard BUT managed to sneak back to our old place. After waiting for what, an hour or so? We were about to leave, when Jorge suddenly goes;
"Hey,..Isn't that them?"
-"Huh..where? o___O"
"Here, the car. Right in front of you"
And then hell was there XD. I still have no idea who was sitting where, but I do know that Uruha looked like a zombie. Reita was dressed up all in white and waved at us. Aoi had his window slightly open. They had to stop for a bit but then drove off REALLY fast O: (Lol they fooled us. THEY DIDN'T GET IN THE BUS :D) Soooo. Since it was REALLY cold and it started to rain, we decided to head off home as well. (Tried to look for food but EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED. WHAT IS THIS ENGLAND?! IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!) So...We never got a cab. Walked all the way from Carling Academy to the Generator Hostel. GOD was I tired. We never got our fastfood either D: Brian and I whined at the desk but yeah. Nothing D: (And we didn't want to walk back to King Cross just to get some pizza) So, we ate some crisps. We thought we'd be REALLY sick the day after, but it was alright! I was completely K.O. at 2. Appearently I have been mumbling crap XDDD ~
I already forgot all the names. AND PEOPLE HAVEN'T ADDED ME OMG. D:
Awesome card by cfst. AWESOME JOB DEAR :D

SUNDAY. LEAVING LONDON. -Don't trust the Fish 'n Chips..- CHORI CHORI HAMSTER ORGIE!
Woke up at 9.30AM and took a shower. We had to be out at 11. So after checking, doublechecking everything, we checked out, stored our luggage (After discussing what to do today) and went off to Camden. It was a horrible rainy day, but it was well-worth going there. Even though..after visiting a few stores you've seen it. I had the most delicious waffle ever! And I think we hadn't seen everything by far but we had to go back to the hostel (After eating more at Burgerking, and asian guys trying to sell us SAW 4 AND US NOT NOTICING!) So. We went back to the hostel, changed my shoes and socks and hopped onto a cab to Victoria Coach. Hoping they had lockers there so we could go out and do something else. Once we were there..THERE WERE NO LOCKERS.
So we were stuck in a place FULL of people, no lockers and shitty weather outside. We were hungry and had to wait 1,5 hours for our coach to get there. Jorge and Brian decided to get us all some food, from the Fish and Chips bar thing around the corner, and we were being all foreign and took up a whole spot in the hallway, so we could EAT. And I called to a phone XDDD! Funny how noone picks up. So. We were done eating, checked in at 7 and went outside because our coach could be there anytime. NOT. We saw Tullie and Moorkop from our way TO London so we decided to stick with them,..Sort of..Until we figured they could speak Dutch. So, our coach had a delay of almost 2 hours! That was NOT funny. It was cold, we all wanted to sit down and the whole station was going CRAZY. Everyone was blocking the way of busses and pushing and WAH.
FINALLY our bus was there, and the horrible 5 minutes were there. People started to push. We quickly dumped our luggage in the bus, Eef RAN down to the back and claimed us a nice spot. We scared everyone away, so Awesome Dutch Guy could sit infront of us. Drove off..Got less excited. In the end..I believe I actually fell asleep o___o. Until we got to Canterbury. An old Dutch woman got in and sat down next to Awesome Dutch Guy. I tried to sleep a little until Dover but I failed. By the time we got there, I felt kinda sick and I really didn't want to go on that boat. Bought some gifts/food before we headed back to the bus, while waiting for AGES. Brian talked about CHICKEN. I only got half of it but it was funny as hell. (I couldn't laugh really because I felt like throwing up) Finally we got to go on board, got off and sat searched around for a toilet. We thought we were already leaving, which we didn't,..SO CONFUSING D:. We went upstairs to stand on the deck outside, which was really nice. Left Dover behind us and went back inside since it was really cold outside :T But...Once inside both me and Brian started to feel sick. There was a lot of wind so the ferry moved a lot. Normally I can stand that, but I wasn't feeling well in the beginning so we walked around a little and went back outside, and stayed there until we noticed we were back in Calais (The distance seems SO small. We could actually see Dover from Calais..) Went back onto the bus and I slept ALL THE WAY. I totally missed the Antwerp stop (Did we stop there?) And I totally forgot to call my dad. Before I knew it we were already in Breda. We got out kinda late and the busdriver got all grumpy. Well SORRY. BUT WE'RE TIRED D: I was all grumpy when I had to wait for my dad to get here, but thank God the others waited <3. Oooh man. I was broke. Had NO € left.
NAMNAM FISH AND CHIPS NOMNOM.
COACH. With left, all up front. TULLY AND MOORKOP!
And this is what you get after 2 hours on a coach. BOREDOM.
GUESS WHO?
GUESS WHO PRON?
BAI DOVER.
MONDAY. -MONDAY BLUES-
Yeah. I came back home and I still had the feeling I was walking around on that ship. Nearly fell down the stairs while trying to find my bed. Didn't bother to change clothes. I dropped down on bed and fell asleep. OOOH AND DID I SLEEP.
Lol. After we came back from the concert,..We got a warning in the hostel btw. Appearently the neighbours complained of us being too loud? WTF MOMENT.
I really REALLY enjoyed the weekend. Even though there wasn't much time to explore London, I had an awesome time. Next time we should make a tight shedule XD ~ 'FEEDING THE PIGEONS -DUTCH STYLE-' I won't ever forget that!
The boys had done an AWESOME job on the live, and I hope they'll return next year. (Soon would be funny, as they announced new dates at the Budokan live. PULSE WRIGGLING TO BLACK 4.0? MARCH? We have to wait a little longer XD!)
This was REALLY awesome. Thank you so much!
And this took my boredom away for a good 2 hours :D
This is for Jorge, Eef and Brian btw. BECAUSE THEY GET IT XD ~
