Short drive over to Derby UK to play the Flowerpot. The Flowerpot is
one of the coolest venues in the world, and the promoters are some of
the best friends we have. Upon our arrival, we were told that there was
an American Beer Festival on at the gig, and that Skinny Molly had the
honor of having a wonderful IPA named after the band, complete with
our logo placed on the tap. Quite possibly the coolest thing to happen
to us on the road for a long time. We love this venue, the staff that works
there and had a fabulous audience. Can't wait to go back.

Drove back to the Robin and got my guitar strap. Then on to Crewe, at
the Box which is an AWESOME plays to play. The sound is great, the whole
thing is total pro all the way around. Our goal is gonna be to sell it out next
time!

A few hours down to London today for another gig we've never done
before. The Rock Patch at Merton Manor Club. What a wonderfully cool
old building, which hasn't been changed in a 100 plus years. They actually
film movies in this place, as the upstairs dressing room is like stepping back
to the era it was built. All the same furniture. Two huge snooker tables.
Being in there was like being IN a movie. And to top it off, this was the
loudest, most appreciative audience the entire tour. We love our London
folks, and had a great time here. Can't wait to come back. What a great
way to end the UK tour.

Day off today. If by off, I mean tour accounting settlement, finding a
laundromat, a new hotel, (Wimbeldon is on) some
accidental in the London Congestion Zone sight seeing. (OK in retrospect
it was worth it) Changing Pounds Sterling for US Dollars and Euros.
We ended up staying in a pub hotel run by our dear friend Marta called
The Six Bells. Best jukebox for miles. Best breakfast anywhere.

Travel day today. And we have to pick up new T shirts. Off to Arras, FR
Stay in a really nice hotel and got some great food. I had grilled salmon.
it was excellent. But I have now caught a cold that is probably gonna
make singing tomorrow a nightmare. Wish me luck.
