	UK / EUROPE tour underway!!	134 days ago
	Hello Bebo We are in Manchester, U.K. for the third show of the tour. Decent airplane food on the ride over (for once) and they didn't bust our gear, nor hassle us much at security/customs. Seems like a good start. Day one was a very needed warm up at the John Henry rental/rehearsal space in London. What a brilliant idea to have the rehearsal space in the same building as the rental pro-shop. If you forget to rent something, or leave something behind... it's only two floors up to get what you need. Sweet. It all seems very familiar. Like our last European tour we are sharing a converted double-decker bus. While nicer, it is still rather crowded with 16 people on one bus. So far, it doesn't smell bad. We'll see how long that lasts. As usual it's a constant stuggle for us to get on the internet (and that's IF you brought a power converter for whatever country you're in to charge your laptop or phone). It's not very "rock 'n' roll" to be so concerned about such things... but you miss being able to talk to loved ones easily and we'd love to be twittering and facebook-updating and keeping you guys informed more often. We're working on it. It feels like we were just here a month and a half ago, not a year and a half. Oxford and Nottingham went well...good start to the shows. Looking forward to the Manchester show tonight. Nice to see Novus UK again as our support. The line up outside is a good size already. This venue is a bit more suited to our show set up compared to the odd Satan's Hollow "in the round" venue the last time we were in Manchester. Sound check was delayed due to a noise curfew, but went well. So far the venue stages have been a little cramped for a 6 peice band and difficult to really go all out on. There are some festival stages in the near future that should change this. Rhim's been running and missing the junk he used to eat. Chibi's be fighing off motion sickness and trying to sleep as much as possible (Barf count = 1 and not even from anything cool). She's finished reading her 400 page novel already. Owen's read two books because he keeps waking up at 4am. Rainbow's been tryin to get the power in his bunk working and killing zombies. Falcore's been looking for a sweet deal on Lagavulin. O.E. made the worst sandwich ever and only took one bite of it. Kisou is probably sound asleep on a nice soft couch in Toronto. This makez Chibi jealous. We finally have all the proper dates and times listed for every show this tour on our MySpace page. There were a couple of last minute changes to the dates at the very end. We now play the M'era Luna festival on the 8th and the Heitere Open Air on the 9th. The Hamburg date was changed to the 5th awhile ago. Time to get ready for the show. See you soon! ~TBM
