It's about 8.30am here, and I think I'm still on BST as I woke up with the birds (and all the shuffling in our room - not used to these youth hostel places, they're full of loud young people).
Anyway, opportune moment for another blog, I thought. We went down to the Blues Fest last night, which was pretty cool. They have a strange system of tickets for buying food and drink - a dollar a ticket, and then something silly like 8 tickets for a beer. Still, at least the choice was extensive: Bud, or Bud Lite. Looks like a Bud then. They do the hard sell everywhere you go "SAUSAGE ON A STICK, COME AND GET IT" sounded rather tempting - 10 tickets, ouch.
Still we managed to forget about the obsenely priced food and drink and enjoyed an evening of... blues, unsurprisingly.
Later on we went down to Buddy Guy's blues club, which had an excellent choice of drink and even accepted cash! Music was excellent again, naturally, and we partook in festivities by dutifully responding to the singers frequent requests "Lemme hear you say YEAH!" I'm working on my throaty American "YEAH" which I hope to have perfected by the time I return. Ahem. Marvellous stuff.
Well, I suppose it's breakfast time.
See you soon!
