A Hard Days Night

OH WHAT A CRAZY NIGHT!!!!!
First things first. Josh Ritter rocked my face off!!!! Right off... I no longer have a face people! The show was very similar to the Regina one in a lot of ways but he changed it up a bit of course... there was the lights off bit in The Temptation of Adam (I was trying to record it and the lights when right out.... I was pissed! God I love that song... especially when he says "tempted!"), the disco and the slow dancing. The different bits were him having an AWESOME opener (Dawn Landes), he was singing with a broken rib (OMG) , oh and the bit where he talked to us! He was telling a story about the tour and when he said he was in Regina we shouted " REGINA!" This threw him off his game in a big way (your never expecting Regina kids.... we are like ninjas!) He replied by saying that Regina says "Hello!" THEN he said "This one is for everyone from Regina" followed by some ooohhhhing and a soft Regina! It was hilarious!!! He then went back to rocking my face off.
After the show is surprisingly where the night got really fucking crazy!! We missed our train so we had to sit outside the station until the next train came... at 5 am... it was 11 pm.... this SUCKED! IT WAS COLD. Like I would have rather been in a Regina snowstorm with a good coat then there in my tunic and Josh Ritter sweater, cold. BUT it gets fucking crazier still. Who would have thought that "sleepy old" Norwich would be the place that one would see, at 2 am mind, a guy get kicked in the chest and knocked to the pavement (chips every where!), and a guy looking for the police because his shirt and coat had been stolen right off his body. Crazier still is the fact that both the kicker and the coat thief was a guy we asked for directions (he was quite nice to us and told me in English that he did not speak English... after telling us that he LOVES England and soccer... but the Ukraine was still the best...in English). So after that Amanda and I both sort of froze to death. Then around hour 4 we both sort of... well we were doing mosh circles of two and head butting each other... so whatever you would call that. Anyways I am missing home a bit but not at all at the same time... it's an odd feeling. But I should sign off. This has cost me a £ and I still need to check my comics (I'm a HUGE nerd but guys like that right?). See you all soon... the next ones coming at you from Paris or from Dublin!

I'm sorry you do not have a face anymore. You could probably get some sweet grants though, or at least sue Josh Ritter.

I would sue Josh Ritter... but I worry he wouldn't love me after... you see my trouble.
