Quick rundown;
Monday I went out to downtown, past Grant Park to the Field Museum, saw Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Bushman, some taxidermy, and mummies. Diana organised me to meet her mother and friend, and after the museum we had some traditional Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, and my god, it was fucking excellent. I still approve [...]
I’m in Chicago now, landed about an hour ago. Just sorting myself out for Lollapalooza !
Yesterday in New York, did Liberty and Ellis Island. Not that impressed, you have to book months ahead for the Statue Tickets and wait 3 hours in line to get up to the Crown, and I don’t think [...]
Today went on ultimate tourist rampage, went to Little Italy for lunch, did Empire State Building for the view and Madison Square Garden for a gig.
Little Italy was fun. Walking around, I heard it was much better at night, so probably tomorrow night I will check it out. It’s also next to Chinatown so had [...]
Last night I saw one of my favourite bands play in New York City. I decided to not go see the support and just rock up on time, which I did, as I found my seat Gate 52, Section 9, the band came on. Lots of cheering and clapping going on, I feel that New [...]

They have polar bears in the open, and it’s like 29 [...]

Once again, I really like the ease of use wordpress gives me, and the ability to mess around with the theme without breaking any content, as well as having a broad range of themes [...]

I’ve not seen Karnivool the same amount of times as Birds of Tokyo, but I got into them first. Kenny is a brilliant singer, and I love his voice and his work. I really liked their EP Persona and their album Themeta but haven’t really listened to Sound Awake that much, on initial listens I [...]
