Shows

Yes, we are working here as well as having a ball. The Sao Paulo show was great, I never thought we would put 300 people in a room in Brasil, but we did. Johnny Flynn is doing solo stuff in support and he was really good, he is just such a frikkin' good guitar player it makes me want to cry.

Last night was the Buenos Aires show at 2.30 am. Holy moly that is a late one. Luckily the crowd are like the Spanish crowds and only finished their tea at 1am so were just warming up nicely when we went on. The reception for us and Johnny was amazing, just a really friendly bunch of people. It was really busy and we got treated like kings. The meat here is just the nuts by the way. If you want a cheap and awesome trip then I would recommend this city. Listen to me, I'm like Bill Bryson.

Motley Cru are in the hotel, fuck yeah! I saw Vince Neal last night and we had a set to on the steps of the hotel. Suffice it to say I kicked his ass. Unfortunately they are on tonight and we are off to Chile today, I would have liked to have seen that.

Funny story

Just remembered. We did a session for some Brazilian tv thing yesterday and they brought a double bass for House of Lords. I did a bit of wee at the look on his face and his subsequent efforts to play it.

South America

I managed 4 films on the flight: Hancock, Hallam Foe, Kung fu Panda and Indiana Jones 4. Classics all of them. Actually I just couldn't focus on Indi by the end. Despite my impressive figure Oliver actually busted 5 films which i think takes some beating.

We are in Sau Paulo, its big and fun. I like Cachassa a lot, it makes me all warm. House and I did some sight seeing this morningm, we visited a cemetary with the most amazing mausoleums. It is spring here and the water goes down the plug hole the other way. Skill. There are a lot of junk shops and second hand shops in this city so we have been trying to spend money on rubbish and not succeeding. There is still time.

We went to a restaurant today where they have a small disc at each table that is divided into two colours; red and green. When green is facing up the waiters bring meat, when you feel like you are going to die from meat you have to turn the card over to red. Red means "Please, no more meat, I can't eat any more of your damn meat!" Salad is also available.

We also did another acoustic session today, but it was good fun and got our voices warmed up for tomorrow. House has a sore throat from 13 hours of airoplane air con.

We are supposed to be going to Iceland next week but apparently the whole country has become poor in the last 24 hours. This may jeopordise the trip. I hope not for purely selfish reasons.

Here are some sexy photos.
