We played the last of the Stately Homes concert series this weekend. It wasn't without some drama as well.
One of the Guitarists from the opening band, Hurricane Party, was looking for a nice place in a field to have a bit of a lie down. He chose a shaded spot behind a small Land Rover truck just outside of the backstage area.
He was resting quite peacefully when the driver of the Land Rover needed to move the vehicle. Unfortunately, the driver failed to notice the skinny blond guy sleeping behind his truck and summarily ran over him. Not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES. Thats right, he ran over the guy! Amazingly, Johnny the guitarist walked away with only a broken wrist and tire tracks across his back. Oh, and he probably did loose a couple of his allotted nine lives in the process.
Other than this little incident (and a few others I can recall) the UK / Euro tour has gone great. Meat has been in top form and the band has been tight.
We've got one more show in the UK, Liverpool on Monday then one show in Zurich, then it's back to the states for the remaining two months of this tour.
I've had a great time keeping this little journal and I'm going to continue once we start playing shows in the US.
Hope you all had as much fun looking at this as I had doing it.
