Manafest News
By Paul Gibson | September 1st, 2010
This just sent out from Manafest.
What’s up everyone,
I’m on a flight back from England as I write this, it’s been the longest tour I’ve ever done overseas, and despite how much fun I had, it is good to be going HOME!! I don’t think I called home once… Sorry mom…
Just watched Green Zone with Matt Damon… I’m a big fan of the Bourne series… wasn’t really loving this film though.
I did around 17 shows, hitting England, Ireland and Holland… England wins for the best food ever… I’m loving these Cornish Pastries… Crazy good… If I wasn’t performing every day I’d of gain a few pounds, in England they say Stones instead of pounds… Holland was cool even though I only saw the hotel, airport, van and festival grounds… Saw some label mates Children 18:3, they have one of the craziest shows, there all brothers and sister too which is mad cool.
I’m looking forward to a few days off, I have to buy a new vehicle to hit the road with the team to do this US tour…Negotiating with these Car salesmen is always fun… maybe they’ll trade me for a Manafest CD. HA
I wanted to get some writing done while I was on the road, and got a few ideas hashed out… Not sure yet though…
I know we will be shooting another…
