It was excellent to have good friends in town for a few days. I hadn't seen Aaron since he's become a myspace-music phenomenon and it was great to have Becca here as well as I hadn't had the opportunity to get to know her when we had met previously. The Johannsson was over from Oslo for a few days as well (thanks for the glam t-shirt) and joined us for a spontaneous show that Beaumont managed to throw together at a pub in east london - thanks to his authentically bohemian internet contacts. Among the many highlights of the week (galleries, reading in Kensington gardens, eating delicious persian food, a midnight performance of Merchant of Venice at the Globe, getting dressed up and feeding Becca's Orlando Bloom obsession by seeing him perform in a West End play, sushi in trafalgar square, greenwich, and so on...) the best for me was finally getting to hear Aaron's songs live.

Classic times, crazy days.
