i'm not sad anymore. |
when people tell you that they're jealous of the relationship you have, you know you've got something special. i <3 francis. i also have some pretty sweet friends, it took moving away from my home town to see who i can actually rely on & i've also met some fantastic new people. oh and i really like whiskey and reading and criminal minds and mcdonalds & my mother regularly tells me i go to too many gigs and festivals. oops. |

Notes GREAT CYNICS: I Was Born (Menzingers cover)I Was Born (The Menzingers) by Great Cynics
I like The Menzingers. They’re nice guys. Two nights ago their van was smashed into after their show in Manchester; they lost their passports, merch money and the stuff you like to keep with you in a backpack when you’re travelling…

Notes the menzingersare some of the nicest people i’ve had the pleasure to meet, and they’re also an amazing band, but you probably knew that already.
last night after they played an amazing sold out show, we all got extremely extremely drunk & the van with all their stuff in was broken into by some scumbag(s).
here’s the post greg put on the menzingers tumblr.
please read and reblog & if you feel like you can afford to, go on banquet records or paypal and help them out. or even better, get to a show and express your love for the band and buy some merch!

So.. We were robbed in Manchester last night…
Ok so here’s what happened…
We played a sold out show at The Moho last night in Manchester which ended up being the absolute best show of tour. Seriously! Stagedives, singalongs, shots of mystery liquors.. It was one for the books. An afterparty started to form at a bar down the street. In the great moods we were in we decided to partake and spent the night singing and dancing to The Cure and Springsteen with The Souls, Red City Radio, Leagues Apart, and tons of friends.
Dave March (our driver/front of house/lifemate/best friend), Eric (bass player/ good looking one) and I decided to only have a beer and then hit the road. Tom and Joe were going to take a cab back to the house. Ok cool. Everything’s going great. We walk around the block To the van and I hear Dave give a quiet “oh fuck”. The driver side window was smashed out and 3 personal bags were stolen. Unfortunately my bag was stolen with all of our tour money inside it. To top it off, we brought around $2000 in US cash with us in case of an emergency. So let’s see €5000 Euros, an iPad, 3 iPods, 3 passports, 2 pairs of raybans (I know, I know they’re super expensive but they make you look pretty cool), my personal tour journals from the last year and a half which included all of my “On the Impossible Past” lyrics and all of my god damn memories, a digital camera, prescriptions, blah blah blah.This sucks. It really fucking sucks because it’s not your fault and so many, in fact an absurd amount of you want to help out. It’s pretty surreal and heartwarming to know we’re not alone in this situation. Thanks, thanks, thanks. Cant tell you how much it means.
The absolutely wonderful folks at Banquet Records have set up a donation drive for us. They really are the best. If you live in the UK and care to help you can donate there. I hear they’re matching donations which is just too nice. Too nice. http://www.banquetrecords.com/MenzingersAppealWhile we’re extremely apprehensive about this we’re going to open up our paypal account if you care to donate. We don’t expect much and we feel extremely uncomfortable putting our hats out like this but here’s our paypal account if you care to help: MenzingersSkrilla@gmail.com
Tom made the account name up years ago. Sounds about right.
We’ll find a way to make it up to you by way of acoustic demos, new songs, free shows. Whatever. Thanks for the help. Love you all.-Greg” -

Work was great, everyone is really nice & it’s nothing too stressful.. though I’m saying this before a 6pm-6am shift tomorrow, hahah!
I really miss Francis though, it’s great being out and working, but coming home to an empty flat is still horrible.
One week though..
