A quick report from da british roadwayz

I am currently in Falmouth(UK) sitting in the back room of the venue we are playing with Gallows and Sharks tonight. This town is pretty cool. I haven't gotten to see much of it yet but right when we got here our roadie(Nick Fit) and I went exploring. After trekking for about ten minutes through a dark winding garden we got spit out onto a beach front street looking out over the ocean. I don't know if I could really call it a beach it was more like a bunch of rocks and coral reef surrounding the waters edge. I'm not complaining though it looked insane. The view comes complete with a lighthouse and a lit up castle on the hill. I'm stoked for the show tonight. All of these shows on this tour have been awesome in one way or another. Last night in Exeter we played a college campus. The place was full of heckling college students. Right when we stepped on stage there was one guy who could not stop screaming random bullshit. My english friend told me to go out and tell him to pipe down and then call him a daft cunt. The insult worked quite well for a little bit even if I didn't really know what I was saying. The same guy who was screaming kept coming up front and grabbing me. I ended up securing the mic cable around his neck and pulling him over the barrier by his throat. Usually you would think this is something that would bum someone out pretty bad but all it did was fuel this guys fire. He got more pumped and grabbed the mic and just started screaming. Exeter was a real bizzare place. I can't wait to make it back there. I almost forgot.. we got a new driver today. His name is Stan. He seems cool but we are going to miss our road dog Deanwolf. Hopefully we will be crossing paths with him sooner than later. He is probably the best driver we have ever had over here in euroland. Well that's all I got for right now. I can hear the other guys sound checking their guitars so that means I gotta go grab the mic and figure out what's going on. Check back on the blog soon I promise we will be posting more. The last few weeks have just been hectic. Hope all is well. See you soon.
