Last Vampires rock dates 09

Started the journey with a train to leeds to meet the gang and the tour bus there for some reason with all my bags ready to rock. Get there and everyone is already there, board the bus and open the booze, today is a travel day so no show just loads of bored time to fill so you have to entertain yourselves somehow and steve isnt on the bus so were pretty much left to our own devices. The day actually wasnt very hardcore in the end but was a nice chilled hang out, the lads stuck St. Trinians on to perv at the girls in the film and that evening we all settled down to watch Reenies wedding vids, it was beautiful, even i was emotional and im not the girly,marriage type..well not yet anyway but as none of us could actually be there as we all had a show halloween this is the first time we all got to see it, she looked stunning, there the perfect rock n roll couple!! After our soppy evening we all headed to a pub somewhere north of Scotland en route to Perth and had to cross the motorway to find one from the services. Never a gang to give up on booze we found one where we were asked if we were rockstars as you dont get our kind in there apparently bless em! the locals were lovely and we had a few drinks before getting back on the bus to carry on, i must of been drunk because the day after i found a picture of road kill i had forgotten i had taken, it was because it was just all the insides of an animal with no animal around all perfectly placed, it was pretty cruel in a damien hirst sort of way, im not sick im actaully a veggie but it was pretty cool! anyway we carried on the night with more drinks before getting into my not so cosy bunk and sleeping.
Perth show was great as expected up north.. started the day with the best indian buffet where the guy even made me extra veggie options with no extra charge. We had a look around the town and took some stupid photos with statues?!? we entertain ourselves anyway.. The show was a real high and makes you feel a bit sad its nearly over. its been such a long run though i think we need to have time away from it to keep it fresh. after the gig me and ben go for a pint before getting back on the bus and chilling til 3ish then bed..
Wake up in London and have to get off the bus in pjamas at 9am..great in the centre of london!!
Get a shower and settle in as were here 2 nights and set off with everyone to camden for a wander around the shops and a few drinks in the Good Mixer my fave drinkin spot around here, me, birdy and nick have been here before with Kid Ego so its nice to be back together again..
Have a good day before show time which is busy and full of life which was great as we have never played in London with this show before we didnt know what to expect as there are so many shows down here obviously. It obviously helps having Toyah with us as a load of her fans are here too. Samantha Fox came to the show too. After the gig we all change and head to the intrepid fox for a good rock night out til way to late..im sharing a room with chloe and after lots of booze and a dirty takeaway we head to our hotel at 6.30am..good stuff.
The last day of the tour starts with me getting out of bed at 2pm. drag myself to camden again with chloe to go shopping a grab some food,also buying Maike a present to as we got up so late end up running all over leicester square and picadilly looking for what we want before dashing back just in time for the show. The last show time is upon us and steve has got us all champagne so obviously it would be rude not to! Love the show, it all goes great and it rounds off an absolutely awesome tour!! Love everyone involved and had the best time. sadly as its a sunday night by the time we get out of the theatre there is no where to go out so end up at the hotel and going for food before another late night. All thats left to catch the train home with Emily and another one bites the dust..tour over for now..rock on
