Day 13
Today was picture day. We strolled around the grounds and Lisa took some casual band shots. We also took some schmooze shots of Godfrey with his Trace Elliot amps and Paul Reed Smith guitar as well as some shots of me for Zildjian. Since these picture were taken during the day they look like an ad for sunglasses.
We all piled in the Rolls and went to Cheltenham to visit a friend in the hospital. On the ride to Cheltenham we decided to make a video for Left For Dead. So we popped the tape into the car stereo and out came my video camera. Everyone was mugging and singing their parts. Lisa was almost hit by an oncoming car which was an exciting scene in the video. Maybe we'll keep it. Every film needs an action scene. We went to a mall and shopped around for a while to ease us through our withdrawls. John dashed into an HMV to pick up Goodfellas after being ragged by the band for have an incomplete mob section in his video collection. He also bought about 20 other titles as well as a dozen CDs. John got a kick out of seeing his first CD on sale. Naturally he bought it.
We then went for dinner while the film was developing at a one hour photo place. We got the pictures back and had some real laughs. Maybe I'll get brave and post some on our page for you all to see, just don't tell John. Alan and I have a lot of great video and stills from the rest of the trip that we will share with you also.
So that's about it for now. We leave in the morning and no matter what he tells you he'll be up to say goodbye unless he hides in another bedroom and we can't find him. We'll will miss it here and we all can't wait to return and reunite our musical family.
I will log my last entry for this journal tomorrow when I return to NY.
We watched some comedy videos and tried to stay up as long as we could so we will sleep on the plane. We did it! John is not one for long goodbyes and I'm not very big on them myself. Since we stayed up so late we won't wake him in the morning which means we said goodbye before bed. We hugged at the top of the stairs and he said I'll see you before you know it. You can bet your last 10er on that!
5am Bye!
