Scotland:

We're in Dundee today. I'm already in a bad mood because the venue is absolutley tiny. Our backline barley fits on the stage and the kick drum is literally and inch from the front edge. When you need to have 6 band members and 3 techs on a tiny little stage people get a little cranky. But that's enough complaoning for one post...

Had some great Scottish ice cream this morning. Nothing like coffee and ice cream for breakfast! Everyone here is definetly living up to the "Scottish people are cranky" reputation. They're not really mean, just really short with you and they surely don't have the best mindset about Americans.

Althgough this post has a slightly negative vibe, I'm having an amazing time in the U.K. I still am in shock that this is now my job and that I get to tour the world with a great group of guys for a living.

Until next time...
