The Latest Updates on the taking the Feast to the East
Entry # 3 - 18th April 08:
So we had our final gig, it was fucking awesome, there were lots of people doing feast covers and tribute songs, which made me feel like the motherfucking shit, It ended in spactacular form with 4 drummers (andy Nazer, Andy Crisp, Gareth, and James II) all playing at the same time - mother fucking yes.
It all got recorded to multitrack, so I'll be mixing it soon and posting the highlights on this here web-shite.
Thanks to everyone whop came and made it a great night, and thanks to the venue who let us drink till 2AM!
Today I get on the plane, Captaib Pickford is here as I type, packing up things to be sailed across the sea, along with gams consoles the other important weapons of war making the trip are my sound city amp, my reverse flying V, some recording equipment and my Audition guitar - look out, rock is coming....I just hope theres someone there who wants to help me with delivery!
I don't know when the next update will be, I need to buy a laptop, and get ity on the intertron first.

Moving to another country is pretty fucking weird, it's like knowing you are going to die, I feel the need to say farewell or fuck you to all the places I have been and all the people I know.
I have been sorting through my CD's. firstly filling away my record collection, this took a lot longer than you'd expect, the thing is I only do it about once a year because it takes so fucking long. leaving my record collection behind while I am on the other side of the world, could be compared to leaving my child behind - if I had one...which I probably do, seeing as I hear that if you play good enough guitar solos that its possible to get women in the audience pregnant from them.
School - well it may shock you as much as it shocks me, but in order to obtain my Visa, I need my exam ceryificates, Why is that shocking? well in my case it's because I only ever got GCSE's and based on the D I got in music I dropped out to become a shit-super-rock-shit-legend. After myresults turned up, I exclaimed that "I don't need those where I am going...." which I asumed was probably the gutter, so I left the certificates at the school and never picked them up. So I have applied to all the exam bodies for these letter things that they send out that prove what exams you had (they have awesome 80's holograms on them, so you could never forge them)...
Of the three I applied to two have got back to me, but I still desperately need the final one to turn up (because the others are fairly useless), lets hope it does or I'll be going with something like this:

So, it's true, I am making one of the biggest moves of my life (similarly big moves have included jumping off drum kits and playing really hard guitar solos behind my head).
As you probably know by now, I like videogames quite a bit, in fact in the year 2000 someone was stupid enough to give me a job making them, this so called "career" has seen me spending my weeks in Coventry, London and Oxford, I always still lived in Bournemouth (the home of rock), and drove up and down the country each week. Oddly this pass time has now resulted in me being given the option to spend my time making videogames in Singapore for a company owned by a famous man called George. I have decided this is probably a good thing, so have opted to go for it.
After several hours of considering my options, I decided that a weekly commute probably wasn't going to work out, so I am putting my reverse flying V in a shipping crate and heading off over the deep and terrifying ocean.
Here's a map for those of you with geography skills matching mine -
