Hi everyone. So I am here in London, making it big in the music scene (sorry Facial Hair, but I can't resist a side project-hey you guys like Jenny Lewis and the blah blah twins!), and dabbling in social care on the side. And, yes, per the title of this blog, I'll soon be starting a collaboration with Morrissey along with having his...ok, this is all a lie so far. For real, ok, I've been here one week, do not have a job-social care or otherwise-YET or a bass guitar or many friends (working on it), nor do I live in Vauxhall, although I like the way the British say it. I am staying with a very kind individual, Kati, and her flatmates in Stratford (East end of London). It has its perks, including being near to lots of public transit (Tube and bus), making it easy to explore other areas, as well. My impression of the East End so far is that it is pretty industrial (at least the section I'm in). I've had the chance to explore the city a bunch. Even went to a castle today (oohh...Windsor Castle, "the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world"-copied that from the brochure). Seriously can you imagine your house being surrounded by a moat. Weather's been good for the most part. There was one rainy day where I developed full out ponds in my shoes. Overall, it's going remarkably well...besides a few understandable blunders as I attempt to adjust. Ok, that's all I can do in one sitting. I'm not a big typer, hence my disdain for e-mail. Plus this is just the intro. More rambling and photos to come! Hope all is well with all of you reading this. Used to dribble down in VA . (Jay-Z was in London this week). Bye.
