The first 3 days of the year were a bit dull, so I will start on the 4th. I flew out to L.A to see the View play the Viper rooms and silverlake land. Fucking ace week, me and Mo ended up in Nick Noletys Malibu mansion driving round in a Mustang, good time!
Then a few weeks painting and off to Dundee with Russ Tannen to do an Art Exhibition. 2 weeks off madness.far to many sories to tell, Russ i love you. Thanks to every one up there who had looked after me. (Mo family)
Then the NME Tour where I met the Horrors who have become good friend and again looked after me very well, (Denmark, Texas…..) THANK YOU
And mum ra. Who again have been great fun.
Off to Germany with the view boys, Pete's 21st. smashed for the whole thing, beer hall, Irish pubs and all kinds of silly shit!
Then some tour time with the heroes. How every tour should be. Stolen motorway food, really shit jokes (poor Barry) great banter, love of weather spoons, packed hotel rooms, Aarons cooking skills( he is getting dead good now) And just a great bunch of lads (and a lassie, thanks for looking after me when I needed it. Love ya) to be with and I hope every success, if there is any justice they will own 2008!!! Thanks Guys (and Jak)
Then for my Final View tour, ended a bit short but always great. They get a special thank you as with out them none of this year would have happened. They have introduced me to nearly every one in this list and so many of my dear friends come through a twisted association with the boys. Good luck with the second album and a hope 2008 will be even bigger for the band and the whole team around them. Thank you.
Texas, don't really know how this happed, me and Russ got pissed and went to SXSW. Stayed with the 2 nicest guys in Austin, went to loads of great shows, Partied really hard!!!! Fuck!!!! It was a great week. Russ is off doing oatmealtv.com. Go and watch it now (Russ you have been a good friend this year, and you have been there for all my highlights, make sure I see you soon)
Sunshine underground, fucking ACE!!! Done there merch and ended up going on tour with them twice. Such great lads and so good live, made me feel part of the team and have had some great nights out with them. The second album is really starting to sound massive. Go and see then live ASAP!!! Worth every penny. (The happy Monday tour was a blast) See you boys when I get back.
Festival season, for more detail read the blogs. I had a great time, done myself no favours at times. Met some lovely people, to many to mention, got a bit messy, and decided that dance tents are really good news. Glasto was the pinnacle tho. The group of people I shared it with are my dearest friend; if there was top ten list I think that week would be top of the pops. Love you all.
Now, I am off to France to live and learn to snowboard. I have no balance so it could be a fucking joke but it is time to go. There are far too many people to mention in this but you all know who you are, any one that has given me a bed for the night, a lift, a ticket, a tour, a job, a pound, a cheeky one, a hug or a good chat, I thank all of you for making this the best year ever. I have done things this year I could have not have dreamed of, and done them on the Guest list. Keep me posted on what you are all up to and I will see you soon.
Thank you all so much
