So, thanks to Gabe, I'm really excited about my holiday and the trip down to St. Louis. It's going to be amazing.

The itinerary is as follows, so far:

21 November, Wednesday: Julie flies in from Waterford, arrives c.10.30pm; I get hair bleached and re-dyed (same as now, but my roots will be fucked)he - my hairdresser is calling me from the airport to tell me she's back in the UK for this, and to set off. Helene wins.
22 November, Thursday: Leave house c.7.45am to reach Heathrow for 9.00am. Fly at 12.15pm. Arrive in Chicago around 3.00pm - on Thanksgiving (right?)! Will anything be open?
23 November, Friday: Drive down to St. Louis (five hours, according to Google), hopefully arriving around 1-2pm. See Cobra Starship/The Academy Is... show. Stay at motel just outside town.
24 November, Saturday: Drive back to Chicago. See the last date of Sleeping With Giants. Aftershow? We have no clue.
25 November, Sunday: No plans for day; getting out tattoos by Jay Redden at The Tattoo Factory, at 10.30pm (I know, right?).
26 November, Monday: MY BIRTHDAY!! Plans only include dinner, so far.
27 November, Tuesday: Last full day in Chicago. Will probably involve shopping.
28 November, Wednesday: Fly home at 5.15pm.
29 November, Thursday: Arrive in London at 6.50am. Sleep. A lot.
30 November, Friday: Hang out.
1 December, Saturday: I can't remember whether this is when Julie flies home or not. But whatever. I'm back at work on the Monday.

If you would like to insert yourself in this intinerary, please let me know! XD At some point we might catch up with another friend over there, but I don't know when he'll be free.

During the holiday, we should both be taking our laptops so you can follow the trip on

bandrdocanada, although it's obviously not Canada, this time.

In conclusion: Eeeeeeeeeee!!!1!!

I think some restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving, but not much else.

Depending on traffic coming out of Chicago, the trip to STL might take 6 hours.

Lola and I will be driving into STL that afternoon as well. I don't know what time yet. It depends on other family stuff. But, we should exchange numbers and such before you leave London. We obviously want to get there early enough to be up front for Cobra. Then I really don't care about the rest of the show :)

We can hang out after the show for a bit, but we have an early morning on Saturday, so we can't stay out and party all night.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

We're in exactly the same situation - we only care about Cobra.

IM me for the phone number. We can meet up before and pick the band up some Taco Bell. XD

I can be your go between if shitty things happen 'cos I have both yours and lolas and erin's numbers.

Can you believe we're coming up to Chicago on the 30th for a wedding that weekend? I'll just miss you by a couple of days.

Daaaamn! That sucks! :(

I lived in St. Louis all my life, until about 3 years ago!

Sounds like you've got a great trip planned out - I hope you have a great time! :-)
