We arrived at Heathrow early in the morning yesterday. After claiming our bags and getting through customs and immigration we were picked up by our bus. I immediately crawled into my bunk and fell asleep. I was still running on momentum, but I knew jet lag would soon be catching up with me. We were only hours away from our set time and I wanted to have some energy for the show.
We were supposed to have arrived in London the day before, which would have given us a full nights rest before the show. We were also supposed to get tattoo'd on London Ink that day after checking into our hotel. Our flight from Tampa on the 4th was cancelled due to weather in D.C., which is were our connection was. Our flight was rescheduled for the next day, the 5th. We interpreted the cancellation as a sign from god that our planned matching tattoo's of a shovel with a banner reading "Dig Deep" was a bad idea.
It was impressive walking into Wembley, with a capacity of well over 70,000 people it is by far the largest venue we have ever played. Even though we were just the opening band it felt like a real accomplishment to play there. Our set time was 5:30PM, it was over before I had time to break a sweat. With few exceptions the crowd had absolutely no idea who we were, nor did they care. We played our 10 songs, I thanked the crowd and the Foo Fighters for having us and then we were out.
Backstage, after the show I accidently bumped my shoulder into Brian May's as I was walking into the after party. Woah.

Brian Mays Huh? Thats pretty sweet. The shovel Ideas pretty funny too. Where would you have gotten em if you were to get em?
That's awesome, and there's no shame in being the opening band. I would love to play a venue that big.
Brian May?!?!?! That's insane! He was the first guitarist that I can remember moving me. He's so brilliant.
As for that tattoo, I thought it sounded rad, lol....not.
I'm so happy for you guys!
That's pretty amazing. You guys have come a long way.
That's awesome, but why was Brian May there? I wish i was in that croud of seventy thousand screaming Germans.
wembley is in england...
glad to hear it was a good show.
i bet there weren't even 1000 screaming germans... in london, england. haha
brian may.. nice. have fun
Bumping shoulders with Brain May?! Holy that is like the most intense thing that could happen besides, I don't know, Jimmy Page!! Lol. I personally think that the tattoo idea would've be awesome. Tattoo's are just awesome in general, lol.
i saw you guys when you opened for them at msg. i sang along and after you guys left, a lot of people asked me who you were. guess that's a good sign.
i saw you guys open for them at msg. i sang along and after the set ended, a lot of people asked me who you guys were. i though that was a good sign. i was also pleased with the show because i missed you at giants stadium. i thought it was cool seeing you play in a place that big.
wembley huh? damn, that's gotta be something. then bumping into brian may..had to be the highlight of the trip. that guy has been around forever. heard you were in naples a few weeks back. sucks that i didn't get a chance to say what's up
I'm stupid and i need to learn how to read. lol. England not Germany.
Brian May was there cuz' he is touring around with Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. It all started long long ago around the time Dave and Taylor inducted the remaining members of Queen into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. That was somewhere in like 06 I think. You can google all this crap, like google ; queen and foo fighters. Dave feels pretty honoured too Im sure Tom. Although I love Queen, one of my life goals is to meet Dave Grohl, not Brian May :p
You seem like cool beans too.

That tattoo idea was probably better than my cousin's band idea to get matching tattoos of a rocking chair with “ROCKIN” above it. sad thing is one of them went through with...yeah right on the forearm.
