First week of tour

We got to England on Sunday morning and started off on the wroooooong foot.  After we landed we were told the gear was locked up at the storage space and they had closed so on one was going to be there til the next morning, but we had to go to the first day of rehearsal!  We ended up meeting a van with all the equipment about 4 hours from the practice venue, loaded the trailer and were on our way... Once we got to the venue there was only about an hour for them to unload, set up the stage and try to get a song in but at that time everyone else was anxious to break down the stage so everyone was rushed.  After the practice we found a hard rock cafe for dinner and drinks, managers showed up and we all had a pretty good time.  

The first show was ok, there was the usual first day bugs to be worked out.  Everyone seems pretty cool, and after the show everyone kinda just hung out around the busses and drank.  I spent most my time on Amon Amarth's bus with Bill drinking wine.  Since Ive got this nasty head cold Ive been taking Nyquil at night to fall asleep, and trying not to rage too hard.  Im feeling better than I was but still not 100% ok yet.  

Today we have the day off in London, the boys have a photo shoot and interviews to do.  I'll probably just hang with Irish Paul all day til we can meet up with the boys later on.
