I have slept 1 hour since 7am Saturday morning. It is now 8:44 pm GMT (1:44sm EST). In 6 hours, I will have slept for 1 hour in 2 days. Although I am completely exhausted and smell homeless, I am having a great time. Being so far removed from work is such an amazing thing. Seeing how completely different the UK is compared to the US is really eye opening. I now know I have lived such a "small" life. Never leaving the US or experiencing other cultures, it makes me regret not doing this sooner but doing this for the first time with my brother really makes it feel right. The people I have met both on the way here and in the UK really makes me realize that this is how it was supposed to work. For the first time, I have my eyes open to what is happening around me and I am seeing the signs I am doing the right thing. Also doing this on tour with Catch 22 is just amazing.
The day before I left, I spent a lot of time meeting up with friends and it truly felt amazing. I know that I am blessed with some of the greatest people and the fact that I can share what I am doing with them feels great. Talking to them about everything, hearing their opinions and similar feelings really help me with growing and reaching the next level. I know what I am doing is right on so many levels and the clarity I have in the present moment is refreshing and amazing.
When we landed in Heathrow, it was a decent wait to get through customs. We eventually met up with out Tour Manager, Rooster, and headed towards the first show in Brighton. We spent some of the day walking around the city and seeing what this place has to offer. It has a pretty cool Pier/Amusement Park similar to Santa Monica. The weather could not have been nicer, sunny and 70 degrees. So much better then the stifling heat I left behind in NJ. We grabbed lunch at this small fish and chips place. All I had was tea but it felt good to just sit and relax and just live in the moment. Something I am not used to doing considering work takes over 95% of my life. After lunch we headed to the venue, The Hydrant, to load in all the equipment and sound check. I set counted and set up the merch and got ready for the show to start. My good friend Glenn ended up driving almost 2 hours to the show and it was really awesome to see him. The show is still going on and I am sweating to death but stay tuned, more to come! I miss all of you and will see you all soon.
