American quartet? I didn't realise you could get a job at The Guardian if you couldn't count. News of the World, yeah, but the Guardian? Y'know - at the Nov 2nd show my pal J said 'When did they add that guy?' and she was referring to Galen. Much amazement ensued. It's a head shaker.

It all sounds so good. I wish that I had my week off work in this week instead of November - I would have gone to Manchester and Nottingham at least.

It was AWESOME!!! I will do a full write up later. Sadly I had to leave fairly soon after the gig ended, so apparently I missed karaoke with the BAND (WHAT?? The Hold Steady did karaoke and I missed this???). No, Dustin did I think. Me and Dot Info did go up a few times. Craig has a vid of me doing Born in the U.S.A. (I think) I NEED to see this

Just can't get over this gig. Third time I've seen 'em in Manchester, and this was definitely the best... been nursing sore calves from all the jumping... I've got a hacking cough (but no bandaged hands) and my ribs ache when I cough... it's like a shot in the arm of positivity and joy. Every time they come over I get my booster shot. Can't wait til I can see 'em again.
It was great to see the US out in full force - sorry I didn't make it to Big Hands as planned, I had one of the weirdest situations ever to sort out: pondering missing Christmas entirely to go and play some shows in Tbilisi... (!)

alright, so. oh my god!
i love you all. i am still coming down. good to see dustin made it after charlie's. there is indeed many a video on craig's phone. too funny. ben and dustin bought me flowers. i dunno where they went and hey probably don't remember buying them (or arguing with the flower-dude).
everyone was awesome as always. i raged (as andy's video clearly shows). my ribs hurt, my neck hurts, my everything hurts. it was totally worth it because now, after all the bullshit of the past few months i feel like i can take over the world.
and i will on monday. after some sleep and stuff.
there are photos on my facebook. may we all party again real soon. i will miss you all.
YOU GUYS ROCK!!! pink gorillas forever.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!

except that i spoke to CF. i have a horrible feeling that that was a really awkward and weird conversation. damn my tired eyes/brain.

Not a serious complaint... I am clearly misremembering. Carry on!
By the way Toastie, good to meet you, you rock. And very sensible not to hold the young man's drink.

He was saying that he asked you to hold his drink but you refused, arguing that were you caught with it sans ID, you'd be removed from a Hold Steady show.
Admirable foresight.

It's an awesome comment!
