Started out as a normal day up at 2pm in the morning. I looked at the clock and think "dang nabbit missed nieghbours" I packed my bags with everything except the stuff I need and not so soon enough bear turns up with the Shazza. we pickdup dunk and set off to Yr yrstog to pack the 'quippy into the shazz.
We set off stopped at oswestry services and were given our Band allowence (£20) for the three days. we went for the meal deal £2.50 for a sandwich chrisps, and a drink. Jamie was gonna try and sneak a cream egg into the bag but in the queue noticed they were searching all the bags and lost his nerve. I (Jonny) won the award for least money spent dunk was gonna get it but was taken out of the running by a double chocolate bar deal.
anway now well on our way to bangor we went through three tununels which was brilliant I thought the second was the best. the sun went down and we all got a bit crazy!
For once we actrually arrived early at the venue so we had a bit of time to sit down wonder what was going on, find out then go and find some tea and coffee which was well £xpensive. it wasnt enough so we found a kebab shop. bear was well arsy and indecisive, and the guy took his kebab round back for ages so we recon the guy "wapped on off " in his Pitta as bear put it.
We met all the bangor lot, good to see em again we were playing with two other bands both were pretty cool, we played 2nd and had a blast although it was pretty fuckin loud and my ears were fucked.
We have no photos of the gig :( we never do really
after the gig we went upstairs to the other rooms, they have a dance room and a metal room and we were tipped off that snake bite is the cheapest drink. so we gott em in, bear spent all his allowance at this point. Dunk was doing the best and got the most drunk cos he found a way of tricking the bar into free drinks.
After the gig and hours of drunken antics we went to sleep, struvas let us stay in his room which was great, hehe and bear realised he had bought his sisters sleeping bag which only came up to his bear pecks. we were just drifting off at around 5 or 6 and dunk thought shit i dont think we locked the shazz (15 mins walk across bangor and back. so me and him went and checked... it was locked! Sleeeeep!!!
we awoke and 3pm in the morning and pretty swiftly headed to Lydl's to buy really shit food and head to liverpool.
The drive to liverpool was sound, Jamie had bought a couple of cans of Tiger Energy "Energy for your Sould" and a coffee drink and came up and down in about 5mins
We arrived pretty much bang on time. but Shazzanav tricked us and made us follow a car into a pedestrian area turn a corner and look behind as the bollards came up. the chap obviosly had a keycard stylee doober. we drove to all the exits but there were bollards everywhere, So I ran to the venue to say we had arrived and what the problem was while they tryed to get out.
we arived to see Big Hand there which was great and cheered me right up. The feeling of the stuck up snobby Cavern Club was making me sick.
we played at about 12 Midnight and had loads of fun. but once again have no pictures of us playing.
Afterwards we tryed to see how many people arived an get our deposit back but it turns out they didnt have anyone on the door. they said they did but they diffinately didnt becuase our freinds didnt have to pay and they deffo arrived before 11 because we saw Big hand on at 10:30. so the Cavern Tricked us out of money which the must do to so many bands.
Cavern Club = Shit Venue, Just A Gimmick, Bunch of Fuckwits, No Passion for Music, and Riding on the fact that the beatles happend to play there. (the sound guy was ok tho)
we were staying at our freind El's house her house is well nice. she had 2 comfy sofas and 2 matresses so we all had a pretty comfy nights sleep. apart from the 10am Get UP!!
But im glad we did because it meant that we got to see how sunny it was that day. We were traffic Jammin' all the way there, but had loads of time!!
Next stop was Colwyn bay we arived extremely early for our gig, so we found a music shop and had a massive look around and played on all there stuff. Bigg Up "Music Makers" in Colwyn Bay good chaps. we then had breakfast in this random place which we soon realised was where we were playing, Shabba. I went for the healthy option.
Whilst we had time to kill me and jamie went to all the charity shops and bought loads of tapes for the Shazza and a Frizzbee. We then met up with bear and dunk on the beach and bought Ice Creams. we sat about then went for a game of Frizzer on the beach.
we all got back in the shazza span all the seats round and chilled out to "automatic for the people" by R.E.M one of our new tapes.
Time passed and we played our gig in Speakers Corner which felt like a youth club open mic night but was still fun!!
Then we Shazza Packed, on with Sister Act sound track and began the ride home
