London

the day before the show we had a day off, which we spent sleeping/chilling on the bus, and in the night me tom, bobby and ollie mac watched some of the first season of lost, which i've never seen before, and i'm hooked! ALSO we went outside the bus, for a chill out etc, and three blacked out people carriers pulled out and parked in a row, and i thought it was like the london mob or something and we were all going to get shot, but, it was fall out boy!! so we talked to the guitarist for a little while, it was surreal! but after that we all pretty much went to bed! when i woke up we were driving through london and were almost at the astoria! once we were outside there was no where to park the bus, so we had to jump out and take our shit inside, once we were in it was like a maze, cold dark stair cases everywhere, but we finally found the dressing rooms! after that i went for a shower, three showers one room, but it was so good after not showering for like two days, i was in there for about 40 minutes, it rocked 400%!
the actual show was packed out, 1800 tickets were sold and then there was guestlist etc so there around 2000 people in there, save your breath played and everyone was real into it, the boys played real well, despite minor set-backs, snapping strings, heads blowing! it was mind blowing to see how many people were there, and the size of the venue, definately the biggest show they have ever played!
what else was cool, was that kids in glass houses had a balloon drop at the end of give me what i want, it was insane!!!
we also did a killing on merch, there was two merch booths, one downstairs which ollie had and one upstairs which we had, but ollie ggave me a few kids shirts to sell so that more people would come upstairs, which was real reall cool of him, and it worked out super good!
after all of that we set off for oxford, leaving bobby with iain and shay in london to party!
