Cardiff Whales 4-20-2012

Cardiff was my favorite place so far. The other two bands we are on tour with are finally getting over being shy and hanging out getting wild with us. We thought the flyer for the show was a little too much but hey a ton of people showed up so maybe it worked. Here is john working on his right angle sleep style.

Yeah we playing uno up in here. Like I said boys finally came around. Loser has to pick a band to pull a chair out and sit in the middle of the pit for a whole set at the festival today. Luckily  the dude who lost is a rugby player so hopefully he can handle the punishment.

The show rocked, because there was perfect stage diving weather for me, good size stage, lots of people, even a lighting rig mounted to the roof that I handled. I’m also fairly stressed out that there is no room for me after the 25th of this month. The tour is with one other band at that point and there is no room in the van. The other band isn’t even bringing a drummer because of this and John has to fill in. So I’m gonna have to survive for some like 18 days alone. Only thing that really worries me is that it is constantly raining everywhere, so traveling in the streets with my bad is a death wish. Anyway, like I said I’m stressed so I took it out on the show last night. I ripped that place a new one. I find it funny that every night I acquire my own fans. Last night I had six or more people come to meet me and tell me how cool my style was, its pretty embarrassing but of the the guy actually put us up for the night. They were a little bit older and wanted to party so we packed up and went next door.

John found some older woman buzzin around after the show and made his move. This 30 year old was a train wreck obviously but a had a great laugh.

For those of you that don’t know John, he is a party animal. I am continually blown away by everything he does. I absolutely love it.

I must say that the girls here are pretty shot here, although when I went to the bar to get some water this girl came up to me and start talking to me. First sentence… “oh your an American? I hate Americans.” She almost got away but I chatted her up. She asked me to dance and I tried that but blew it. I did however I did climb up and start crowd surfing on all these drunk idiots, two security grabbed me but the guy pictured above in the black Champion sweater wasn’t having it, overpowered them and scared them off. Back to the girl I though to myself. I found her and pulled her aside and told her that she was the prettiest girl I have seen since I’ve been there. It was the truth but she didn’t believe me and we chatted some more and she told me she liked me and gave me a kiss. Around 3am we went back to her place and I had the time of my life.

Alright… That didn’t happen… She was hanging around us as we were leaving but all I asked for was her email… #real_life_imbecile.
We had a nice walk back to the house that was in a nice area. The middle finger for them I guess is like a thumbs up? I really like these trees here.

In the the morning the older guys made us breakfast, THEY RULED.

All aspect of time has gone out the window. It doesn’t bother me anymore. I eat when I’m hungry and survive on little naps here and there. It’s kind of a freedom having no schedule at all. Drop me an Email at edgejake@gmail.com and keep me company.
