For a minute there, I lost myself
(fast forward to about 4:30 when everyone keeps singing, it was so so cool to be in the middle of that)
So tired today. After Radiohead, the crowd of 25,000 dispersed across the streets of Glasgow. We walked forever only to find out that bars close at midnight. Ah, but the trick is the clubs stay open till 3am, which still only feels like 8pm to us. We passed a piper playing in the street, one drunk guy listening turned to us yelling "I am William Wallace!!". That's a lot of Scotland all at once. I expected to run into Sean Connery at any moment...
We met some more kind folks who had the strangest reaction to learning we were from Chicago- "hey, didn't you guys just have those real big bugs that come out every 23 years?". heh.
Today was spent walking all around the University and visiting an art gallery. It rained/misted so much I could barely take any pics. :( And all those walks Brett and I took in preparation for the trip were pretty useless, because there were no hills. We should have been practising on ski slopes. Geez. My feet hurt.
I think tonight is a movie night, then off to see the cathedral early in the morning. Cheers!
