Day 2 in Manchester...
Chad and I woke up early to head to some Morrissey/Smiths sites before lobby call at 1pm. Headed to the Salford Lads Club first. The Lads Club is the backdrop of a picture used in the insert of The Queen is Dead. Since then it's become almost sort of a mecca for traveling fans.
We made our cab driver stay and just drive us around.
Next stop was the Iron Bridge on Kinds Rd. Referenced in the song "Still Ill". it's sandwiched between 2 buildings. Got off and took some pictures and headed back.
First day of the Paramore tour went well. So many kids.
I love how in America, liking Paramore is a guys guilty pleasure but guys over here rep Paramore and are SUPER into it.
I crashed out early last night. Needed all the sleep I could get.
Woke up early this morning and went around Manchester some more.
Night 2 tonight.

New Found Glory Euro Trip
Didn't leave Dublin until 6 am. Apparently, some kids still saw the bus outside and wanted to hang out so they walked in our bus and said something or other, then ran on the roof of the bus...what?
it all got explained to me while I was half asleep. Then someone said "I think they ran away" so I went back to sleep.
Woke up again at 8 when we were supposed to get up to get on the ferry. Nobody wanted to leave the bus, so we just stayed in the bus and slept. IF the thing would have sunk, then there would have been no way to get out....thats why you can't stay in your car.
Arrived in Manchester. Sun was gone by 5pm.

New Found Glory Euro Trip
I left Miami on the 25th. Flew over with Cyrus, Jordan and Josh.
Virgin Atlantic had a great selection of movies and multi-player games which caused me not to sleep the entire way over.
The Darjeeling Limited and Into the Wild were my movies of choice for the flight over.
We arrived in London and met up with the bus. I stayed in London with Chad and Jordan while the rest of the band drove to Dublin. We were supposed to see Morrissey, but he canceled the show due to not feeling well.
Such a bummer, but we made the best of it and ate at our favorite local English eating establishment, Friday's.
Not surprising, but the entire city is littered with all kinds of Smiths and Morrissey references and they seemed to be the only things I was running into all night...Girlfiend in a Coma was even playing in a store we were in. Almost like England was dumping on me for missing the show.
Earlier this morning, we flew over to Dublin and met up with everyone.
Aileen came to the venue and hung out.
Euro Trash Fest has officially started
