Plastic Toys BBQ







Neighbourhood

Tonight we played London Calling at Neighbourhood, Notting Hill, London. Another typical London gig of a random selection of bands. We were on first at 8pm. It was fun, but I was struggling with lack of sleep. Some guy seemed to really enjoy taking photos of Jon. It made me laugh a lot, but not as much as Si pushing Jon off stage, that made me laugh out very loud. Almost every gig I seem to end up in giggles at some point, I think I am having far too much fun.

I haven't really ever been to Notting Hill, but I am definitely going to go back there and explore during the daytime at some point soon. There is a lot of London and a lot about London I hate, but there are also some pretty cool places to explore and have fun. I remember spending a day in Richmond once with a friend. After a few drinks we thought it would be a good idea to go rowing on the Thames, I can tell you that it wasn't! I think we then tried to cycle through Richmond Park.

I am in the process of getting photos sorted to post on here, but I have taken hundreds and haven't filed them in any order whatsoever. I am on the case, so bear with me.

Also tonight I had my photo taken a lot. As a child the thought of someone pointing a camera at me would upset me beyond belief. Even now I hate having to pose for photos unless I am doing it for band stuff, then it all comes very naturally. I now know what pose suits me the best and how to work the camera. That makes me laugh as well, boy how I have changed.

Welcome to Hello Kitty

I thought it was about time that I started to write a blog, apparently it is the thing to do. I hope to post at least once a week and talk about me, the band Plastic Toys, stuff in general and post some photos of the week, as I like piccies.

This week started of from recovering from the weekend. We had a Plastic Toys BBQ at Ben's (the drummer) house. I have photos that I will post later of some of the silliness that was had, but nothing too incriminating!

Today is my last day of teaching, possibly forever, but there are so many exciting things happening with the band that I need all the time and energy possible to help drive things forward.

This Wednesday the 27th we have a gig here;
