It's been a while

Sorry. It's been a while since I've updated this. I've forgotten my camera on a few of my trips out, but I haven't done anything super big recently. I'm going to Dover on Friday, Scotland the next weekend, and Ireland the weekend after that. Obviously, I am going to be having some great things to write about and post pictures of. Anyway, here's a few random thoughts and recollections from the recent past, in no particular order.

I've mostly just been working and watching the football. There's some really exciting games on - Holland v. Russia was a great game. I've done a bunch of random small things recently, like walk around Hyde Park with Matt and Evan. It was sooooo beautiful there, it's really a shame I didn't have my camera. Another time me, Katie, Nicole, and Evan went to Little Venice and walked around for a long time.








Last Wednesday Nicole and I went to see Tokyo Police Club at Scala because we got in free - oh the advantages of interning in the music business. Mobius Band, who are from Brooklyn, opened are were really good. I like both bands, especially Mobius Band, even though I'd never really heard either.





On the way home, we found Platform 9 3/4 in King's Cross Station. Oh how nerdy.


On Friday, I went in to work at about 11:00 and met up with my boss and Trev from Big Boss Man, a band signed to the label, and went to a studio. It's on the 29th floor of this huge building right near the office. From the windows, you have this amazing view of most of the city, including the Gherkin, the Thames, Tower Bridge, and all kinds of other stuff. Awesome.
Last Friday, Nicole, Kate, Gareth, and I spent our day walking around near Leicester Square and Soho Square and then went to see a matinee of Spamalot, the Monty Python musical. Sooooooo funny. Later, we went to a club that Gareth's company runs, so we got in free. It was okay - I hadn't really been to a club before. I guess it was fun, but we were out all night and it was too loud to even talk in there at all. Not really my thing.

Oh, one more thing. So the other week, a couple of us went walking near the river and London Bridge and everything and I snapped a few photos. I took a picture of something I didn't know the purpose of, but now I know what it is. Apparently, this giant telescope thing we saw is a fiber optic thing that allows you to wave to people in New York City. Ridiculous. There was this big line and we didn't know what it was, so we just skipped it. Oh well.
