Norwich UEA - "Grape To Meet You"

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 21:16:38 GMT

Hey this is Emma, BFS and Army Of Freshmen's publicist, coming to you live from Norwich. Or whatever it was they used to say on "Sale Of The Century". There are suspicious magazines and a lot of toilet roll draping the toilet cubicle. Hmm...

Everyone seems to be feeling a little better after the bus flu that has been rampaging through the bands and crew. Poor Brendan from Wheatus is still very sick, though, and has missed tonight and last nights' shows. Hopefully he should be better by Birmingham on saturday.

What else can I tell you? Erm....I'm currently looking at 9 pizzas sitting in the fridge which I predict will be demolished 5 minutes after the end of the show. Chris Jay has had a couple of beverages and the Mr Hyde part of him has just emerged. Apparently his publicist and street team leader suck big time. My fee has just gone waaaaayyyyyy up!!

Roll on Peterborough tomorrow. It's a day off so we're all heading to the Met Lounge to see Army Of Freshmen's set. I may even push the boat out and buy another pair of Top Shop leggings, such is the glamour of the rock world.

yesterday's update!

Friends of the Freshmen!

Greetings from backstage at the Leeds date of the Get Happy Tour!

The tour has been amazing so far. We want to say a big hi to all our new fans and friends that we've met so far.

There is a minor plague going around but we're filling up on meds and doing our best to not get too sick.

Wanted to let you know that our headlining date in Peterborough is SOLD OUT! Go us and word on the street is there may be some surprise guests showing up... : > )

Also we got a great review and photo of the new issue of Kerrang- England's biggest rock mag.

as happy as it gets,

Chris, Aaron, Owen, Dan, Kai, Mike

last night we were in manchester and the show fricin rocked!!!!!! the place was packed and the all the bands killed it. at one point a blow up sheep appeared on stage and we stuck an action figure up it's arse. after the show everyone went to the bar and got hammered drunk. it was the first night of the tour that we didn't have to leave right after the show. so everyone had a blast and got pissed. `last night was pretty much the reason we all do this. and tonight we get to do it all over again!
Rock on

Hey everyone! It's Aaron from Army Of Freshmen, and I'm in Sheffield. The tour is amazing: the bands are rocking, everyone's friends and hugging all day long, and there are a lot of jelly doughnuts being consumed. Today, BFS' Chris Burney and I went out all day and shopped for DVD's, soccer jerseys, sharpies, and pastys (steak and ale is delicious). Saw some old buildings and a cool fountain. Well, i'm gonna go stretch and get ready to rock this sold out crowd of kick ass kids, thanks to everone for supporting us, this tour, and music in general. We love coming back and rocking here, love you all,

Aaron AOF

Got Happy

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN LIFE.

I only wish we could have done this 6 years ago! BFS SOD and AOF are kinda meant to be. The crowds at these shows have been the finasstest.

I wanna start it all over again as soon as it is finished. I hope you people comming to these shows are having as good a time as I am....

It has been a blast chatting with you after the shows and the peeps at the venues and the crews have been beyond fantastic.

Sheffield is tonight and we'll be out and about after the show to see you thank you and love you.

Hope get happy never ends.

MUCH GET HAPPY LOVE,

I'm a little bummed....I have gotten a few messages from people that cant make it to the show due to buses and trains not working and roads being closed....I think its still gonna be a great show!!!!
The last three nights have been incredible, as always in the UK!!!
We couldn't be more excited to be on this tour with the guys in Army of Freshmen, Wheatus, and Son Of Dork....We have all hit it off well, and are having a total blast....
