With two single beds in the blog: 2011 tour journal Atlantic: Durham and Sheffield

Have you awakened once and had a massive need to jump out the window? I would also really dangerous. But I imagine that if the thought cross your mind can happen in a Travelodge. Most of them have a real killer in series and suicide vibe them - I think it might have something to do with the fact that everything they wash towels in makes them smell like salt & vinegar soy. And nobody wants to dry themselves and then smell like a potato snack. However, once a Travelodge we were hosted in didn't have this seriously bad vibe - was really very nice. The lodge in question was Central York. Towels not smell of French fries. And bathroom not feel as if someone had taken his life in it. Or another person. Or both. As I said... it was very nice. Therefore, if you're listening Trevor l. Odge (the man who owns all Travelodges) take note of York Central - those guys have down.

Anyway, from York to Durham was. Durham is like Newcastle, but is not the same. Still say ' alreeeeeeeeeeeeet pet?', but it is different. We were playing a place called Durham Live Lounge, the name of which was booted from popular series a certain BBC live session radio station. Apart from the bit of Durham, they have every right to use that Word. In walking at the venue, felt kind of like a joke cruel - the room was massive - and we are not a massive band. At any given time that used to be one of the bars of walk themed Australian, and you know how big are because they have loads of space for the things get thrown on the barbie and all Sheila in Sheila fights. The scenery was really high too, so have looked even more ridiculous it. Like ants with even smaller instruments Ant. Antsruments?

The concert result to be good however, for these reasons:

An improvised song called backstage breakout 'Cannot eat a cupcake (without losing your mind)' was unleashed raise spirits and inspire all of us to dance so that it can only be described as aggressive and overly sexual.

When playing the diligence, Tom (the player's Mandolin inspired Bjorn Borg) rose in a pile of PA precariously balanced, but fortunately not fall to his death from the massive stage. It was another good thing, that would have remained with me forever.

The room may not have been complete, but the people in the room did seem that way when we played - the crowd was amazing.

Thus, the success in the eyes of crush the failure of the cadena-pub. It was a success as a member of the Twin Atlantic broke a full bottle of wine in front of the seat on his way in the form of celebration. Apparently innocently retired from his hands, but I know it was thrown to the ground as a way of saying ' DURHAM thanks '.

I should also mention that after the post-York T-submit triumph we were brought back to reality with the crushing failure was Scotch corner Travelodge that night. Heavy suicide vibe and hot water. The two things go hand in hand I guess. I think that cold water showers are there along with being raped by a pack of angry bear or be forced to naked slide towards down a banister made of sandpaper on my list of things not enjoy occurs.

By the morning after some action of large cold shower, we went to Sheffield - home to the Arctic Monkeys and Sheffield Wednesday. Mainly, that play on the weekend. Very confusing. I have heard that if Sheffield Wednesday play a Wednesday a magical portal opens in Hillsborough center circle if they win. All fans in the game, can enter it then granted a wish by a genius. This is all true, I do not they compose. We were playing at the University, which was pretty dead because it was a Saturday - if it was really a funny say it must have been at home watching countdown omnibus. Fortunately, I am a master of wit and instead you can highlight this as a statement that a less clever person can have said. If you wish, you can call me 'The Wizard of Wit'. Anyway, we played Sheffield sometimes but I just known something about the city... until I learned of this little nugget - 92% of Sheffield University graduates find employment. Therefore, come to Sheffield Uni and most likely it is you will find employment. However, if you fall into that other 8% prepare to be marked as a failure by their peers and family members. Something I would have learned also about Sheffield is that everybody wears glasses - this is exclusively based on the 5 people working at the venue that day everyone wore them. This may have had something to do with the high graduate employment worldwide know that glasses = intelligence. Is everyone staring books innit?

Our label had come to see the show so we brought an Italian restaurant before we played where I got a tiny bruschetta which cost much more than what is essentially a piece of toast with tomato above should cost. I was too afraid to eat more as I have this totally rational fear of vomiting all over the world during a concert. Imagine how bad would be if that happened? Usually I have a 2 hour "nothing by mouth" rule of play, but broke me my own rule for half an hour tonight perhaps, that is why during John Wayne just completely forgot to play the second verse. Not even as an ' agency, lost a pace there '-really sat blankly asking the rest of them still were playing. Without problems again in mid-toolbar though - without problems. Apart from this mishap (colossal mistake) the concert was awesome, great reception and by far the best concert we played in Sheffield. The crowds this tour have really blown us away, not literally of course - although that would have been impressive. Blow I don't want to say anything sexual - Assistant wit not to resort to blue humor. I leave to Bernard Manning. And he is dead.

Next stop? Peace - home to a great accent and also a few indie were called the Beatniks or something. Stay in touch for more of my talk shifts wrong.
