Live Earth

So, moving day was Friday and the Live Earth concert was Saturday. This would have been ok if I'd stayed in, unpacked and gone to bed at a reasonable hour but this was not the case. I thought it would be a good idea to go out with a friend locally and have some beers. Again I'm sure it would have been ok if I hadn't forgotten to eat all day!!!

I ended up getting home and going to bed at about 1:30 and waking up with the sun shining through my bedroom window at 6am! No more sleep for me!

My friend Eve swung by my place at about noon and we left for the concert. It took about an hour and a half to get to the stadium via the lovely London Transport system - but we got there eventually. So a little hair of the dog was in order.

I guess all of the moving, running up and down the stairs with boxes took it's toll on my legs so I could barely walk on Saturday. Not good when our seats at the concert were a good 30-40 rows up. We tried to not get up too often so that I didn't look like so much of a cripple....but the beer was calling!

The line-up was fab! Razorlight, Foo Fighters, David Gray, Damien Rice, Black Eyed Peas, Metallica, Madonna, Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Keane etc etc. We missed Genesis who were the opening act (which sucks!) because of the lovely TFL and the 1.5 hour journey to get there but the rest was great.

Madonna was the final act and to be honest, I could take or leave her...so we left when she came on to beat the remaining 63,000 people.

It was a long day and we finally got back to mine at about 11:30 at night!
