Music will be the death of me!!

I swear it will!

I got ready for the gym this morning, checked my emails and Facebook and all was quiet.
Went to the gym, did my workout, went into the changing room and emptied my locker, checked my phone again and there was a Twitter text. Words jumped out at me "Pre-sale" "Brixton" "almost sold out" "Green Day".

I checked my emails - whilst shaking and panicking - and there was one containing a presale code, so I quickly clicked on it and, probably because like me people had no idea about this, managed to buy tickets - for what, I didn't know at that point, just that it involved Green Day. So so so VERY thankful for smartphones and 3G. And for the fact that I was planning to run to the bank after the gym so had my purse, and my cards, with me - I don't often take them to the gym.

Anyway, it seems that an announcement was made from the US sometime during the night, to say that Green Day would be playing Brixton Academy on the 21st as a warm-up gig before headlining Leeds and Reading Festivals that following weekend and that the fan club presale was this morning at 9.

It means Tom and myself pulling another all-nighter. Last year when they played the secret gig in London we had to get back first thing to get Tom to an appointment, this time we need to get back first thing as it'll be GCSE results day so we'll once again be on the 5.27am train out of Euston. I swore last year that I was too old to stay up all night in London, or anywhere for that matter, but here we go again!!!

Do you have to be back first thing? The results will be there all day...

Honestly Ally, I don't think I've ever felt as tired and as desperate for my bed as I did at 4am in that dodgy little 24 hour McDonalds opposite King's Cross :shock: :lol: :lol:

Di, there're trains from Cornwall to London :twisted: :lol:

I think he wants to be back so that he can go with his friends first thing, they're meeting up and getting their results together and then doing whatever it is that teenagers go off and do when they get exam results :lol:
