Euroventure and the Finally Tired
10:42PM: Back in the Hotel Room, London, England: The night before last I slept two and a half hours. Last night was more, but I was still up until 3:30AM or so. Tonight I’m finally tired. Finally fucking tired. Doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll sleep, but at least I want to.
Because the pasta place I wanted to go to was closed I had to go all the way around the corner to find dinner, and what did I see when I got there but a fantastic-looking Indian restaurant. And wouldn’t you know, when I walked in, I was greeted by a very friendly man who said, “Ah, good, Mr. Taskmaster is here. Come inside, we’ve been expecting you. We have started a lamb biryani and some garlic naan cooking for you, but while you wait, here is a wonderfully crisp Indian beer. Oh, and here are six non-inkjet/CDR Black Sabbath bootlegs for you to take with you, and here comes Ritchie Blackmore to play “Highway Star” on the lute. Just for you and just because we like you.”
Yup. That’s exactly how it went down. Definitely wasn’t me getting stared at in a dining room for 20 minutes while waiting for them to 
bring out my to-go order. The biryani was great though. No regrets.
It’s probably good I’m getting out of here tomorrow afternoon.
I wore my new YOB t-shirt today, and not without realizing that the word is slang in Britain for male bastard youth. At least according to the countries’ respective popular media, while the US has raised a generation rendered docile by technology, some among the younger generation of Brits are right fuckers, which is probably how it should be. Until they steal something from my ass, that is. Then fuck ’em. Toss ’em all in jail, hey?
Anyway, got some funny looks for the YOB shirt, but filed them directly next to all the other various funny looks I get, so no harm done. Might wear another YOB shirt tomorrow, actually, since I have two on me. Sooner or later I’m going to have to do some laundry. Hopefully sooner.

Just know you are in good company. YOB is stuck in Germany. They are trying to put together some shows while they wait it out. I think they have two so far, one with Eyehategod. Check out their Facebook page to see updates.
