Exclusive Sam Little Tour Blog: Day Two
Day Two: Northampton"Surprisingly I'm wide awake. I know it's 1pm, but bare in mind I spent all night at a club in London and then, after the hour journey back to the promoter's house, was too tired to sleep so I just haven't. I know it sounds stupid to say that I was 'too tired to sleep' but anyone that's ever stayed up all night will know you get the different stages of being tired. It usually goes from being fed up/hazy and almost dozing off to just getting a random wave of energy where everything feels really weird and boom, you're wide awake, no sleep for you. There's a small part of me that wonders if it's possible to do a week or more touring without sleeping. I can see it now; the David Blaine of the touring world.
I'm currently on a train to Northampton. Three guesses why I'm going to Northampton?
You're playing a show? Nope.
You've got friends there? Not really.
A girl? It must be a girl! Nope, there's not some illustrious lady that I have in Northampton.
Truth is, I don't really know what there is in Northampton. I don't really know why I'm going there at all to be honest. I was meant to be playing a show there yesterday, but for some reason I booked the train ticket for today (idiot) and the promoter never got back to me so I've decided to just go and hope for the best. I know what you're thinking.. Why didn't I just stay in London and just go straight to Wolverhampton tomorrow? Because booking train/coach tickets in advance is pretty much the only way I can afford to tour. It takes a £60 fare down to £10. Sam Little, bargain hunter extraordinaire.
So yeah, I'm in Northampton. It's now 3am and I'm still going strong. Tonight was spent at a rock clubnight watching bald girls and dirty metallers throw down, singing along to Stone Sour and Slayer. Was actually a pretty amazing night to be honest seeing as I'm sober. So many stories of embarrassing relationships and experiences that I probably can't put on the internet ahahah. But yeah, sleep time.
I'm off to Wolverhampton in the morning to meet Maycomb. Bring it."
