So 5 days after i was in New York for the Britney show i found myself back in JFK for a record 19th time that year waiting for a connecting flight to Seattle for an appearance at the KNDD Christmas radio show.
There was a local Seattle act opening the show who can make any band with any level of success happy with their lot. They had just played to maybe 900 people in a 5,000 capacity room at 5pm and were loading all of their gear into Dads car but couldnt have been happier.
Next day we were off to San Francisco for 2 shows, one at the Oakland coliseum with Bloc Party, Death Cab for Cutie and Franz Ferdinand also on the bill and the other at the Warfield Theatre which was a make up show for the show that was cancelled a few months back.
After that it was off to LA for the by now almost traditional end of year show at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas with Franz Ferdinand, Death Cab, Snow patrol and Paramore also on the bill as well as the headliners, The Cure.
And of course no trip to the KROQ show is complete now without a trip next door into the Universal Studios Theme Park. This year the new Simpsons ride was open so of course i had to go and have a look.
It was well worth the intrigue and i highly recommend it.
So that is the end of 2008 then. Hope yours was as full and interesting as mine
