Memoirs Of A Dutiful Daughter - One Night Stand In North Dakota

I woke up real early this morning, I picked up my phone to check the time, thinking it was around 12, I was plesantly suprised it was only 9.30am. I still felt as though I'd had a good, long lie in. I put on some music, cleaned up and tidied the bedroom. I chilled for a while, made some "sausages" with beer batter chips and spaghetti. I then left to go check on Toby again. He's still hyper, I know he's just a puppy but shit, he really needs to calm down. I played with him for a bit before heading home to get back for Sarah coming in from work.
 I felt like I hadnt seen her in a while. We made some brews, chilled and had a nice conversation. We then left to go meet the crew at Guildford Manor, we only stayed for about a quarter of an hour before we all made our way down the road to see ONSIND play at Heaton Perk. I picked up some IrnXBru and a fortune cookie on the way.
 Id never been inside before and never realised exactly how small it is. It looks so much bigger when you ride past on the bus. It was packed to say the least, but packed with good, friendly people and a lot of familiar faces. I ordered Sarah and myself a huge pot of tea. 2010 is definatly the year for drinking tea at shows, Its gonna be huge! ONSIND played through their first set, super tight, they'd clearly had a good practice for this one. But thats not to say they arent awesome everytime they play.
 We sat outside during the "Intermission" to smoke some weed and cool off, it was so hot inside, but freezing out, so we couldnt win either way. Sarah fell down the steps on the way back in. Was pretty funny but I felt really bad as she hurt her ankle and took Laff out with her as she slipped down.
 ONSIND's second set was again super, super tight. Their new songs are sounding really good too. Pretty excited for their next release. I drank some Irn Bru and opened my fortune cookie, I was pretty high by this point and ended up flinging the fortune cookie through the air and hitting the girl sitting down next to me. She found the funny side though, Plus she was with Charlotte and some other friends so she wasnt gonna mind too much.
 After the show I picked up the ONSIND/Ghost Mice Split 7" and some stickers off JC then we all headed back to The Manor to watch Friday and have some smoke. Sarah and I got a taxi back later on, we watched the rest of Step Brothers and crashed.

I took some more photos on the Holga Coloursplash today, Im starting to carry it round in my bag with me everyday now. Hopefully the one I took at the show will turn out pretty good.
