My holiday officially kicked my arse! 
thursday to sunday, i went down to dorset to go camping with my parents. luckilythings weren't that quiet down there as my old band mate Andy and his girlfriend Ali came down and pitched their tent with us.
cue much drinking, laughing at bad tattoos in Poole (see previous journal), kite flying, barbeques, and drunken walks back from the local pub in the pitch black.
monday morning i got up at stupid o'clock to get to Gatwick to fly to Amsterdam for three days.
monday night ended up with me and snohojustin totally wasted in a bar off Leidsplein.
tuesday morning started with me heaving my guts up over the hotel toilet!
the rest of the weekend included:
* The Bouncing Souls doing one hell of an awesome gig, at possibly the best venue i've ever been to, The Melkweg
* Pennywise were pretty good too!
* Meeting up with Bryan and Pete from the Souls again, buying a fuck load of merchandise, and meeting some very friendly dutch punks
* Spending tuesday walking around Amsterdam very slowly with the mother of all hangovers
* Finding a groovy punk rock bar that played punk rock DVDs non-stop
* Discovering the Red Light District is actually a fairly ok place - apart from the drug dealers!
* Checking out the Van Gogh Museum and Sex Museum
* Everytime it rained we ducked into yet another pub for more beer
* Dodging cyclists
So i was only there for two and a half days in total. And mondays gig and meeting up with Justin again was a real highlight. Unfortunately my drunken behaviour meant i kinda messed up tuesday.
Was going to Amsterdam for two and a half days a waste of time? Definately not. Did me getting extremely drunk and getting the hagover from hell mean i wasted a day there? Probably.
What an amazing place though. I will definately be going back.
On a final note, i just went to see SEVERANCE at the cinema.
it was fucking great - covered all bases required for the kind of film it was. Funny, scary, a bit daft, a bit jumpy, and bloody gory.
reviews keep saying its "The Office" meets "Deliverance" - i agress, but add in "Hostel" and "Southern Comfort" and yer nearly there.
fucking ace.
