hello glasgow
First leg of the trip is completed safely: I flew into Machester yesterday. After a breakfast of the finest British cuisine (black pudding is not as bad as you'd think, although I avoided the stewed-looking tomato) we hopped on a bus and rode five hours up to Glasgow. It was a nice ride through country hills dotted with sheep and goats.
Observations on UK freeways: very few SUVs, even fewer signs of any sort of truck-line transport. The "big rig" culture of US freeways appears not to exist here in any way at all.
Glasgow, so far, is beautiful, and our hosts, David and Heather of Taurpis Tula / Volcanic Tongue, have been extremely kind and gracious. Their apartment is full of psychedelic records, religious icons, and Dr. Who memorabilia: I'd have a hard time imagining a place where I could be more comfortable.
First show = tomorrow night = Number None, Jazzfinger, Taurpis Tula. I'll be the one wearing the boa which will likely be drenched in flop-sweat. Labels: number_none, personal |
