Time to close the bottle ... or at least stop drinking on an empty stomach; that always leads to bad things.
Seriously ... last night I was just going to have a couple beers while doing some idea work for school, and I ended up out all night, sleeping through my first class, and losing my bank card. I don't even know what bar I...

Is it ok for me to laugh at this a little? Just at the hilarity of the circumstances - not at you. May I be so bold as to offer you the thought of a hug in recompense?

Sounds like you're at the same point as me then 
Spent four and a half straight hours getting my arm tattooed yesterday. We're about half-finished with the piece, and it's looking fantastic. Hoping to finish it off this Sunday if my skin is in shape for it. We did it in sections, so parts of it are completely finished while other parts are just outlined, so that we'll have relatively fresh skin to work on...

Right, been a busy few days
Saturday, as per my last journal, I got completely smashed and did the usual accompanying tomfoolery.
Sunday was the Guana Batz gig. We warmed up for it at the Elephant's Head in Camden, where I ran into a guy wearing a Rob's Chop Shop t-shirt, which is basically a rockabilly barber shop in Dallas. Now, I've known Rob for...

is it thursday already? oh, thanks for the story. ;o)

I know what guys from the Damned look like but I bet I wouldn't have twigged it was them if I had been there - though would have probably been thinking "I know them from somewhere"
Gig tonight, getting fitted for a suit tomorrow (it's gonna be wicked cool, trust me), gig Tuesday night .... busy week ahead.
Next Sunday I'm getting tattooed: a Japanese-style half-sleeve of a big lobster with waves and stuff around it. Saw the preliminary drawings today, it's gonna look amazing. Probably take 2 sessions.
Got completely wankered last night. Went to dinner with Danny and his...

Sounds like a most excellent night. What's the suit for??? Will you share photos? And where are your amazing stories of fun and travel? Just curious. I know I'm a pest.... I'm good at it!
obelisk:
Pain the next day for sure. Hey, these new SG Chicago kids are pretty fun by the way. You ever making your way back here?
Right, weekend coming up, I suppose.
But I've been drinking too much lately so I'm gonna take it slow. I just wish (as usual) that I had something else to do besides sit in pubs.
But whatever, I'm not going to whine about that now.
Sunday is the Guana Bats gig, at the Garage, which should be killer.
Tuesday is the Einsturzende Neubauten gig, followed...

Nice to see you again last night, even if it was only briefly.
Ok London people, I'm DJ'ing tonight at the Red Stripe bar, on Hanway Street, off Oxford Street, basically across from Tottenham Court Road Station. Teaming up with Danny from the Ship, this should be going on every Tuesday from now on.
You know it'll rock.

i might well go next week. sounds good.
illbillzillbub:
it wasnt a deliberate thing,more like avoid it whilst i kick the tobacco,they've always gone together for me...and its just kinda stayed that way....im feeling pretty good,its like a new high,not being high.
Amusing anecdote:
Was in the Crobar last night after the Ship closed up. A friend bought me a beer, and after that, the barman just kept handing me free beers whenever I put my empty bottle down on the bar, without charging me. I gave up even trying to offer him money after he shook me off 3 times. But while all this was going...

are you in town? for how long?
Well, I went to Berlin, and I showed that town who's boss.
First night there, walked into White Trash Fast Food, at the recommendation of Fanny, and that worked out just perfect. The guy on the door asked for a membership card, which I obviously didn't have, then he and the other guy asked where I was from. I replied, of course, "Texas!"...

Twice this week I've been bought dinner at my favourite restaurant, St John. Wicked. Monday for lunch I had a venison neck that was braised for 12 DAYS
That's just ridiculous. It was so tender, it just disintegrated on my tongue.
Last night I had a huge Gloucester Old Spot pork chop, which was also super tasty.
Gawd I love that place.
Tonight is...

I'm sure you'll return with many stories - hope you'll share some! And you just made me hungry! (consternation)
Right, just thought I'd fire off an update from the middle of the action. I've got a 2/3 full pint of Guinness sitting on the bar at the Ship right now, waiting for me to come back.
You see, by about 6pm Charlotte was already slinging free shots, as she was in a mood and a couple people had birthdays today, so it's already getting...

I could use a guinness. Save one for me. 
Well ok, my life is as fucked as ever.
No point in going into detail at this point.
Have one last class Wednesday morning, then graduation dinner Thursday night, and I'm off to Berlin Friday afternoon 'til Tuesday. Can't wait.
Probably going to Amsterdam the following weekend because we have Good Friday and post-Easter Monday off of school, so why not take advantage? Have to...

What Fanny says
Yes, mobile phones are evil (and losing numbers immensely sucks). That's why I try to not be dependent on mine... Anyway, I'm emailing you my number back, let me know what your new one is.
I don't know what I'll be doing this weekend. Might be quiet though, since I'm also making the best of the Easter weekend and therefore am off to France with the missus on Wed 23 to April 2. The lady's never been to Paris, so it should be fun!
Take care big man
PS: go to Amsterdam or wherever, it's always good to change your scenery!!

Amsterdam is great. There are some cool bars & cafes along some of the smaller canals that are worth looking out for if you're so inclined. Will you be doing any more European travel after Amsterdam?
So last night I was out having a few drinks with this girl, but she had to go home early because she had an exam this morning. So, I wandered over to the Ship and had a few drinks, left at closing time. Called another girl, met her at the tube station by her place, went home with her. Got up this morning, went home,...
