Last week I had the great pleasure of going to Hanley with Zed and Nath. During that trip I was able to demo a Gretsch G5420T Electromatic and I even offended myself and more importantly I offended two fourteen year-old girls. I also went up to Hanley another time (just with Nathan that time) to sell my Xbox, and get judged by many people along the way.
About the Gretsch, I fell in love with that beauty the moment I touched it. The best part was that the guys at the shop loaded the amp up with a nice amount of drive. This gave the usually clean Gretsch a nice amount of filthy sound, perfect for playing Black Sabbath, Burzum and the shit I write, I might even add that the staff at that store were quite impressed with the song I played for them.
Whilst in Hanley that day I met two fourteen year-old girls, one of which was wearing an obscenely lacey choker. So me being the bastard that I am decided to tell her that garters aren't supposed to be worn that way. This confused the poor little girl, she apparently didn't know what a garter was and I then had to explain to her what a garter was. After I had finished explaining everything she took the "garter" off, and me, Nath and Zed walked away laughing.
Te next trip up to Hanley involved getting judged by pretty much everyone we walked near. The best one was the slutty looking girl who bet that me and Nath weren't real rockers. To which I responded by ripping them in my Bronies UK post, after of course holding Nath back to stop him from obliterating them.
The only other event of interest, was that I was given some nice things from Nath, one of them being a pair of leather trousers, another being a G3 Sweetie Belle toy and the last being a denim cut-off jacket, which I have taken to a bloke in Hanley to have the Rush 2112 album cover airbrushed onto the back of it, and I'm collecting it tomorrow.
Anyway my week has been quite a fun one for me, I can't really be bothered to type about it all since I'm writing with one hand and eating a massive pink lollipop with the other. It's a damn tasty lollipop, but I don't know how long it'll last.

Rocking Tunes!
As you may know from reading my previous posts I'm in a pop-punk band called Six Stories Up. So far we have written a grand total of two of our own songs, and we are also preparing a crap load of covers to perform. At least two of us are taking this seriously, that's me and Nathan, we're not so sure about the third.
Anyway we have been spending a nice amount of time jamming together, and decided just the other day that we should each choose four songs to cover (making twelve covers), those songs have all been chosen and we're now learning how to play them, unfortunately we don't have access to a drum kit at the moment, which is a bit of a pain, especially since we have an area to put it (Nath's garage, which will soon be converted for our band practice).
As I said we have two songs, one of them just needs a few minor adjustments, and the other one we have forgotten how to play, but we still have the lyrics so at least something is on our side. the first song simply just needs the guitar part for it's quieter bridge rewritten.
On to other ventures, I celebrated my 100th YouTube video last Monday and I had a nice little party with my friends, after I had finished celebrating that I started a secondary YouTube channel called G_Man TV! which is essentially me doing the stupidest things I can think of for the sake of it. So far I only have one video, which is me attempting what I call the Mustard Challenge, and failing miserably.
I also went to Hanley the other day, which made a nice change, I spent the day causing chaos with my friends and wishing I had money to buy myself some nice things. I did however visit the new music shop that has opened in The Potteries Center, it didn't have a very good selection of basses which was a shame but there were some damn nice guitars there, more importantly there was a lot of other nice things there, including, and not limited to, a sexy female employee.
Overall my week hasn't been too interesting but I've been enjoying myself nonetheless, and now I have yet another fun day at the House of Zed, unfortunately I wasted all my money whilst at Hanley so I need to ride my bike there.
