Avoiding the English

So tonight is suppose to be the big match up between the USA and England at the Union pub. Luckily for me I already have tickets to go see the play Complicit. It is the premiere tonight so that is exciting. It is actually directed by Kevin Spacey. And the lead actor is Richard Dreyfuss. It seems weird to me that such big name American actors would come over here and stage act, but it will be exciting nonetheless. And best of all it gives me an excuse to not embarrass myself and America in a drinking contest.

Yesterday was really cool. I think that the Brits are more excited about Obama than any American. It was also fun because the only TV we have is about the size of my laptop so we all packed around the TV and watched his speech. I'm cautiously optimistic that everything will work out. We'll see, all else fails I'll just stay over here ;) Last night we went to a bar called Ain't Nothin' But... It had a little stage in the back corner and there was a live American Blues/Jass/Swing band that played. They were amazing. One of the best times I've had so far over here. The entire place was about the size of Grandma and Grandpa Fairchild's house, but they packed it shoulder to shoulder and the band played all night. You had just enough room to dance in place. I will definitely be back there.

Travel is already proving to be really stressful. The most nerve racking thing in the world is trying to book hostels and plane/train tickets. I finally got Belgium finished when it comes to hostels and train. I'm now working on Easter in Italy. I've already punched a wall one time trying to book so we'll see how that goes.

I'll be sure to let you all know how the play goes. I hope its half as good as the last play I saw here. This is the 2nd of 12 different plays that I'm going to see. Take Care.
