Malaga, Spain, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Get a cab in to Malaga center with Mars. Its a grey day and the cathedral and Picasso museum are closed. I try out a cool little twelve string mandolin thing but i’ve got nowhere to pack it. Will have to find one another time. THen ...
red, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Awoke as the bus stopped around 4ish. Echos of the night before still there. Thought we were there but alas its just a petrol stop. There goes the beauty sleep. Still no internet! i’m dying here! Doze for a few more hours before we are in Madrid. ...
Porto, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Up late. Wander solo for some coffee before the slightly manic car drive to Porto. I’m having an off day… blah blah. Beautiful venue here. Soundcheck is good. Quick wander down to the river with Mars and Amanda. Get totally lost on the way back before some ...
Leaving…, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Bit of local exploring this morning. Winding steep streets and a particularly fancy hotel grounds. There’s a kitten who wants to follow us home; i consider cat smuggling. A little design work before we head to the venue and meet our new equipment and new crew. The ...
Lisbon, Portugal, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Watery eggs and great coffee for breakfast. Spent the day wandering the city center looking for gifts, clothes, roosters etc… not that fruitful but the sights were amazing. This has to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Windy lanes, cobblestone streets, castles, cafés, ...

We lift off ...
Broken Bells, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. More good sound today at ‘work’. Just in hotel tonight. Watching my friends on TV.
I love playing these songs. Its great doing TTT and its all so much more natural to me now. Plus i know how to handle these characters a little better. Danbury Holiday Inn. Again. TV, internet and Insomnia.
Bit of a restless bus sleep; burning smells causing stops, rain, waking up with the laptop on top of me, more stops etc… Its good to get to a hotel by 11am. Back in San Antonio after 13 years. I left this place in a bit of a mess last time. Its a great little ...
Oh god. Too early for all this… but i’m here. We’re losing. But we’re looking good and I’m sure that was a goal we scored. Mars and Richard are here. The coffee machine is flooding and there’s bright Arizona desert outside… Update: no surprises there then. England continues its career of uselessness at any kind ...
