  • This sounds silly... But who did i actually meet yesterday? People were saying "Are you Ellie?" and then telling me their names but not their user names...? The only people who's names i remember are the Scots and Byrnzie!

    You met Don - aka dbk. Remember he dragged me over to your table in The George?? : )
  • Yeah i remember him, i just didn't know his user name... I actually only met you from a distance! haha. I was just looking through the blog and there's a few people i recognise. Hmm. Hello to the people i met anyway. Give me a wave. :p

  • Aww i totally missed the Scottish bum. I wish i'd seen that. Were you standing next to Foull's mum?! We tried to make her wave but totally missed it. I guess we were too busy jumping around.
    Does anyone know who the guy that was wearing the green shirt with the long brown curly hair tied back was? He told me his user name. Anyway - who ever you were - you seemed really nice :-)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    My neck still hurts after I gave Chime a lift on my shoulders, which didn't quite work out. Anyone willing to give me a massage?? Go on, you know you wanna!!

    This Sky T.V footage....can anyone tape it and post it on here?? Is that possible? Anyway, I'm hogging the board again, so I'm gonna go and make some toast. I expect the board to be FLOODED with offers of massages when I get back.

    Sounds good. I've not been that far north before. A barbecue in Newcastle...pictures of chip butties on the barbie come to mind...he he. Just seen this on Myspace - "Eddie Vedder does a little interview in Rolling Stone Magazine this month. The mag gave the new album 4 stars and calls it Pearl Jam best album in 10 years. Vedder seems to have mellowed out a bit in the article".

  • Hey ya'll!

    FUCKING GREAT NIGHT!!! that was!!! :D:D:D:D The moshpit was INSANE! All bruised and acheing up here in Norway aswell ;) It was fun meeting you crazy fucks at the Royal George pre-party. THe entire evening was perfect, and to end up with Mr. MIKE McCREADY's guitar pick!!! HELL, I don't think a night as special as that will EVER happen again....

    Here's a funny little story for you guys! (It was NOT all that funny for me, but here goes)

    During Porch I HAD to leave the moshpit 'cuz it was to damn crazy in there... I took place a few meters behind the worst of it, got me a really nice spot where I could watch the rest of the show in relative "peace and quiet"... All of a sudden I smell sumthin', sumthin' familliar. The guy standing behind me lights up a big fat one. (I'm sure some of you noticed) That's fine with me. Didn't bother me at all. Evening ends with an TOTALY MIND BLOWING preformance of ALIVE then we head over to the after-party. Grab a few drinks, talk with some of you guys and generaly had an AWESOME time. Evening ends and we get back to the hotel, go to sleep, wake up next morning and go to the airport. SOOOOOO excited about yesterdays events. Everything is cool. Plane is on time, a smooth flight from London to Norway. At the airport in Norway I head on over to the tax-free shop to get me something to drink before getting in the car with my friends. Still everything is cool! BUT,

    as I walk through customs a guy with a narc dog gets a sniff of yesterdays events, at least SOME of yesterdays events :( THE FAWKIN DAWG!!! I get towed into a small booth, asked to empty my pockets. I'm like, THANK GOD all I have to do is empty my pockets! BUT, correct! emptying my pocket IS NOT ALL! NoooOOOOOO, I HAD TO STRIP NAKED! AND AS IF THAT WASN*T ENOUGH!!!! He all of a sudden reaches for *ta ta ta TAAAAAAAAA*. THE GLOWE!!!!! :(:(:( I TOTALLY FREAKED out!!! You know what I said to the guy??? I just belted it out,

    "Dude, are you REALLY going up there?? I'm pretty ****cough**cough**** full if you know what I'm saying..... How about I just go to the shitter???" He looked at me for a moment, asked me a few questions about this and that, then told me he "appreciated" me being so "honest" about it/stuff.... Then THANK GOD!!! HE TOOK THE DAMN GLOW OF, without doing THE FULL SEARCH! :D:D MAN WAS I HAPPY HE DECIDED NOT TO STICK IT TO ME! That HAS TO BE THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE!!

    And just to make the situation complete! As I was towed by customs I heard my friends laugh and saying, "hehe, did you see that!!!?? They took Stian, the DAWG sniffed him out...." GOD I FELT ALONE!! AND RAPED!!!! A WORTHY ENDING TO AN AMAZING TRIP HUH?? :D:D:D Moral of the story kids is, DO NOT SMOKE POT AT A PEARL JAM SHOW WHEN THE GUY IN FRONT OF YOU HAS " AMENt TO THAT" WRITTEN IN BIG LETTERS ON THE BACK OF HIS SHIRT! I DO NOT WANT A REPRISE OF THAT SHIT :D:D

    Alright, you guys, until we meet again, take care! WAS AWESOME meeting you!

    AMENt TO THAT
