So, yesterday I woke up with Rachael giving me a cup of tea, that’s a good way to wake up if ever there is one. So we got ready and showered and bathed and all lovely and when we went down for lunch about 12ish, we saw Liam who’d just made his own lunch, but he’d cooked like enough for about three people. Which would have been perfect if it wasn’t chicken and chips, and I’ve given up chips and Rachael’s a vegetarian :L
So Rachael stole a load of his chips and I stole a load of his chicken dipper things and we sorted ourselves out and left!
We got just onto Fareham Road, when we remembered we needed to go and get Rachael’s camera, so we went on a trip round the entirety of Gosport, and then we were finally on our way!
It was a good road trip, we essentially just listened to Bowling all the way there and sung loudly. It’s how we roll.
So, when we got to Brighton, we managed to find a parking space literally about 20 yards from the venue, so we were like
And we left my tiger guarding the car:
And then we went exploring around Brighton.
I managed to navigate us to the North Laines, and find my favourite shop ever, and we also went in this other shop and I bought a bracelet, however Liam remembered that ‘cause we were so excited about Bowling, we forgot it was a pay and display car park :L So we made Liam run alllll the way back to the car by the seafront to make sure we didn’t get a ticket XD Anyway, Rachael and I found shakeaway and it was good. We then went to the pier and played on the tuppeny slots, and we won a grand total of 22p! Brilliant.
Anyway, by this point it was 4:10, and Liam had had an ice cream, so he was happy, so we made our way back to the car and venue, where we got all excited then went and lined up :L We had a really loud conversation in the queue all about Fight Club, so I apologise if someone in that queue hadn’t watched it, but then again if you’ve not watched Fight Club, you’ve probably not lived.
~I wrote this all and then tumblr went and lost it from this point on. So sorry this part is really shit~
So, we eventually got in and somehow we had a conversation about politics… We soon were invited through though, and their main roadie guy was talking to us like, ‘so are you from Bristol or…?’ and I was like ‘…This is Brighton…but no we’re not’ :L And we had a lovely conversation there xD We then got invited up and we got hugs and our posters signed and Jaret pointed out he has my name tattood on his wrist. Obviously ‘cause I’m awesome. Yupyupyup.
We then got our photo taken with them:
And then the gig happened:
I never got any photos of the actual gig bit, they’re all support ^^ but that’s ‘cause the camera died and I was enjoying it too much anyway XD
It was over quickly, sadly, but then I realised I’d been stood up for roughly 6 hours or so, and I really needed to sit down and have a drink, so we got back to the car and I completely crashed and then I went to sleep straight away when we got in as I didn’t feel too good. Not the best end to a fucking brilliant day tbh.
Anyway, this is Rachael’s ‘Morning After’ photo :L She got all ready ‘cause she’s had to go somewhere, she took a photo of me, but it’s so terrible I’m not posting it :L
tl;dr: Bowling for soup and fantastic and lovely and wonderful and I love them.
