Woah, Lois That's Not My Batman Glass

I have quite possibly just had the best week of my life. Even though there was no Enter Shikari involvement, I think it almost topped that night at Central when they played. And that's saying something, because that was an amazing night.

On Tuesday, I turned up at DeBee's in Winsford to do the photos for I, Said The Spy and ended up getting chatting to a wonderful band named We Say Summer who took me under their wing when I didn't know anyone, and took me on a mission to get McDonald's before their set. Spoke to them for most of the night, and all but their vocalist ended up camping at the campsite at the bottom of my road before embarking on a trip to Chester with me the following day.

After a near drowning at the hands of Ste in Northgate Arena, we trooped to KFC to get food and then to Chester Park where we chilled for a few hours before jumping in the van and heading back to mine for a game of football and an ice cream. On the spur of the moment I ended up making the trip with them to St Helens that night for a gathering at their friend Jay's house. By that point however I was feeling rather ill and sadly wasn't my usual self, I then ended up crashing out at about midnight, before getting a lift back to mine the following day.

We arrived back at mine, only for me to pick up a change of clothes and head back to St Helens to pick up the others and make the long trip down to Birmingham for their gig that night. I went as official merch girl, as their friend Jay does their photography; however he ended up letting me shoot most of the set for experience, which I was pretty honoured to do. Had an awesome night involving hardcore dancing with a blow up dolphin, being disguised as a pile of sleeping bags on the way down to Birmingham in case the police pulled us over for overcrowding the van, Oli Sykes tattoos, pokerface, spooning a statue, too many cigarettes, pizza at 1am, penis love, fanny love and my chemical romance, making the tour video, trying to convince people I was actually Hagrid, Shikari claps, taking the piss out of the crappy emo bands, getting acosted by drunk 14 year old girls, and generally just having an amazing night :)

Got home at about 4 this morning after Shaun from I, Said The Spy kindly gave me a lift home, and have slept most of the day-it's been pretty epic and I'd kill to do it again :)
