20th February 2013: music, photos, videos and flash.

So today's blog is yeterdays events basically. I had a great day and night. It started at 11.56am, as we got on the train to London. We got to Waterloo, looked for somewhere nice to eat, but everywhere was either packed or too expensive, yeah we were probably being too picky, but oh well... So we settled for a sandwhich from M&S, which was pretty tasty, and we sat by South Bank, people watching, which was interesting, then we did our traditional walk down to London Eye and back, we saw Colin Jackson, the Olympic sprint hurdler and some insane street performers, and some really weird ones too...
We then walked down to Trafalgar Square, took some photos and did some filming, which ended with me getting scared by a pidgeon flying towards me through my camera screen, and hitting my head on the marble fountain thing, and then getting laughed at... Then we headed back to South Bank, sat watching skaters for about an hour, which was pretty chill. After that, we got on the train to Tower Hill, we walked round the Tower, and walked over the Tower Bridge, which was horrible experience, especially standing near the edge  trying to dodge the people on the immensely busy path.

We then decided, we should probably start heading to where the venue was, so we knew where it was, and so we got a train to Kings Cross St. Pancras, Platform 9 and 3/4 was closed and the station was packed, so I'm assuming there was problems with the trains or something? Anyways, we walked up to the venue, and then found a Costa, seeing as we hadn't had a Nandos, I thought the closest thing we could get to Aquitradition was a giant bourbon from Costa? We sat there for about 2 hours? Drinking hot chocolate, playing that four picture one word game? and listening to Lauren's songs and people watching again...

Then it was time for the gig, it was Lauren Aquilina's first headline tour, and it was the first night... The support acts were Billy Lockett and Saint Raymond (links for them at the bottom), and they were insane! If you get a chance to see them live, do it! It was a great gig and great music, including some new tracks from Lauren, a duet with (Bryce) who was also amazing, a loop pedal mash up and finished with Fools.
It was a pretty crazy day, but a good one, and there will be a video in the next few days, but I ended up going out this morning shopping, and then fell asleep this afternoon, so I'll start on it this afternoon, Saturday at the latest :) Oh, an extra comment, I will forever hate flash on cameras!
Thank you to Billy Lockett, Saint Raymond (Callum) and Lauren Aquilina, for a great evening and photos :)
