FLORENCE THE ROBOT IS A MACHINE. IOWA CITY. CHICAGO. SUDDEN ROAD TRIPS.

Apr 20, 2010 03:01

HI GUYS so my London entries tapered off due to me being Exceedingly Fucking Sick for a weekend and then I just didn't feel like writing anymore. At some point, they will continue. I've got one in Notepad that I've been hunting and pecking at for a while. It's probably a good thing I was sick so much during that trip so I can just skip entire days ( Read more... )

I READ ALL OF THIS. I'm glad Florence was a good time!

When I see the words "old Jewish guy," I think of that dude outside the Blag Club. How did you determine he was Jewish? Did he have some awesome Orthodox business going on?

A pie shake sounds either repulsive or awesome. I just don't know.

GOOD FOR YOU. I don't think anyone else will and I can't say as I blame them. I suck at splitting things up. I'M GLAD SHE WAS, TOO. <3 OMG SHE WAS SO EPIC THERE AREN'T WORDS. I MEAN, I FOUND SOME WORDS, OBVS, BUT THOSE WORDS AREN'T AS EPIC AS SHE WAS.

LOL no, he had a very Jewish voice? His accent? I'm not sure what else he could've been. Maybe I'm just stereotyping.

Yeah, I couldn't decide, either. I guess I'll have to go back and see which it is. Curiosity may get the best of me on my next trip. YOU HAVE TO TRY THAT RANCH DRESSING. HOLY SHIT.

That gig sounds amazing! I'd heard she wasn't that great live and was prone to hitting bum notes (like the videos you mentioned), but your experience of her sounds just great. I'm jealous! :)

See, even if she HAD hit bum notes... I wouldn't have cared. The videos I'd seen included some New Year's Eve gig from a few months ago, but I swear, her voice was just perfect in Chicago. I was floored. I couldn't believe the power she had over her voice, and she was engaging and fun to watch!

LOL very nice cover, Sarah. SO ARE YOU A SUPER FLORENCE FAN YET HAVE I INFECTED YOU WITH FLORENCITIS OR DO I NEED TO TRY HARDER???

YES. I actually just got you a lil something on Etsy that I think you could use in your arts, so I'll wait til that gets here to mail you a box. I have a RED BUS keychain and a deck of Londony cards to give Daniel because I don't know, I just bought souvenirs and divided them up when I got home. And some English currency. AND SO MUCH STAR TREK 4 U.

same one where Holly and I stayed last June, actually; they should start giving me discounts

LOL. I'm in no less than three hotel reward programs - although, to be fair, two just earn miles. As much as you go to Chicago, you should totes at least sign up for hotels.com - after your tenth stay somewhere, you earn a free night. I think the value of it is like the average of your other ten nights or something. W/E, IT'S A GOOD DEAL.

LOL, of course you stopped at Target on the way home. O HAY, YOU SHOULD COME BACK AND EXAMINE OUR TARGET. IT'S A TARGET.

Also, I'll never try to wake you up the normal way again. Suede was just too effective.

I know I'm a member of some Thank You thing with Best Western, but I just can't be arsed after a certain point with rewards shit!

And yes, I stopped at Target. I had to. I SHOULD'VE GONE TO YOUR TARGET. IT IS ONE OF MY MISSIONS IN LIFE TO GO TO AS MANY TARGETS AS POSSIBLE.

Suede is the best wake-up call.
