BRIXTON / CAMBRIDGE WEEKEND
|| BRIXTON ||
We arrived in Brixton and did the whole soundcheck thing, ate some delicious food (at Hootananny's) which was very yummy, then we waited till it was time to play!
Was a great crowd and we were happy to start such a sick night off!
After playing we stuck about to watch BackBeat and The Drop, who were both fantastic! Got us all excited for the Festival Season again!!

After going to sleep in the early hours after Brixton, we woke up to a lovely day, so some of us made Breakfast and we sat out in the garden eating it whilst Theo (one of our mates) mowed the lawn. Very civilised we are. Then after a long time of faffing around playing footie on the freshly mowed lawn and cleaning up we eventually made a move to Cambridge...
When we arrived, we had a quick soundcheck and then I went to park somewhere but got lost because of my STUPID Sat Nav. Luckily Andy is a patient guy and he stuck around waiting while eventually got back to where I had come from.As we we're on last at Midnight, we passed some time away playing snooker, pool, duck kicking (rubber ducks yeah!!), fire show watching and watched a sick band called Dog is Dead. Very very hard to maintain a sober state... we slightly failed, though still managed to play fine and got everyone dancing!
After playing, Louisa (One of the organisers) sorted out for us to stay at Laura's and after a drunken mission (which should have only taken 10 minutes and took 40) we finally reached her place in a Girls only student hall. The guys were pleased, but no one was about, so they couldn't get too excited.
7 of us then slept on the floor like sardines in Laura's room, all huddled together cosily. Laurence was cuddling Will's feet all night and I was stuck next to Carl who every now and then would turn over and crush my shoulder... oh the pleasure of sardine sleep. We would like to thank Laura for putting up with us, and hope her room didn't smell when we had gone. When we left, we were on a Breakfast Mission. Making our way back to the van, we came across an ideal cafe, though lost Carl so we moved on to find him.
We then came across a lovely mini market where we bought a German Sausage in a bun, a luscious coffee and an incredible white chocolate and raspberry muffin. What a Breakfast aye...
Journey back was quite long for me as I had to drive from Cambridge to Lewisham to Worthing.
Yes I was tired, yes I stopped at McDonalds (I know your thinking tut tut, but have you tried a Big Tasty yet? Forgivable I think.) Yes it was worth it, NO I didn't stop for a wee cause this time I was hardcore)
5 hours later I was home, had a quick nap, then off to Brighton to see Dog is Dead (who Tin Roots watched in Cambridge) as our mates SWIMS were supporting and they were great too! Small world it is, and what a great way to end a weekend.
Here's some photos of Cambridge.
