what a week
Wow I have had one of the most amazing fortnights of my life! I've only had two nights rest in the last fortnight because there is just so much going on at the moment and I hadn't planned any of it and it's all only cost me £10 (besides all the food & beverages).
It all started with Wimbledon last week which as I've said was great. Wireless was pretty cool, I think I was more excited by my gold wristband than the bands though. Wednesday was the last night of Wireless, I finally got to see supergrass but left before Keane to try and beat the crowds. Thursday night was Mary Poppins. The sets were mind blowing, I loved it even if the story wasn't so exciting. Friday night I had another amazing time out in Soho, met some pretty cool people (not strippers) and stumbled home at some ungodly hour only to be woken up by my flatmates Saturday morning saying get up we're going to Live 8! Hyde Park had the most amazing atmosphere and the bands were just so fantastic. Once Beck and I break up I'm going to marry Bob Geldof, although I should probably not take too long because of the age gap and all... We couldn't get tickets to the actual concert with a view of the stage but we were near it and watched the whole thing on big screens with amazing sounds. The high point for me was definitely Pink Floyd, they opened with Echoes my favourite song in the world, then topped it off with Money and Wish you were here, my other fav Pink Floyd songs. The crowd was great and the spirit of the show was something I'll never forget.
And to top it all off sometime in between all these excursions I managed to make my first purchase on ebay! I am now an incredibally incredibally proud owner of a ticket to Sigur Ros at Somerset House in London. I can't begin to describe how happy this has made me to be able to see my favourite band in such a beautiful location.
So hopefully I'll be having another good week before I'm off to Italy!
Miss you all, I will email everyone soon.

wow wow double wow.
i actually can't think of anything to say- except- "much respect". my whole family is very jealous of ur Pink Floyd experience- except Morgan of course, who would have preferred to got to Wimbledon. ;-)
yep. definately jealous. you have been to see more things in the last fortnight than i have this year! maybe thats just a measure of how unexciting my life is... haha! good to hear you're having a ball. lots of love
Becky, can't tell you how excited I was to have you ring me, with the sounds of Pink Floyd's "Money" playing in the background.
You are so lucky, you are part of history now.
