Everything was all a bit unexpected, really...

um... seeing as there is no real coherent order to any of this, I'm going to attempt to make sense of it by using point form...

-Ash and I went to London... ok... so far this makes sense.
-Trekked out to a dodgy part of the burbs to a dingy pub on Friday night
-Got ourselves in on the door list and it turned out the Panda Band were playing there!
-Also saw "The Spinto Band" and met their manager/A&R-dude man.
-He'd seen me in Manchester and bought Ash & I beers.
-Our trip had already been worth it!
-After gig met Mike and all of his industry cronies out the front and mingled.
-Threw a couple of our demos around to important looking people
-Got invited but a dude to come to Nashville and 'chill out' in a recording studio for a while

-Next day rang Mike in the wee earlies (woke him up... good one) and asked what was going on
-He told us to come to his London studio
-We went
-Sat down in this trendy, loungeroom-style recording studio and played some songs on Lila and Ash's $40 guitar to Mike and some more important-looking, industry types.
-they all applauded and one of the important looking industry-types complimented Ash on his voice.
-He turned out to be the guy who signed The Killers, and apparently Mike manages all these famous bands and had something to do with organising Coldplay's US tour...
-He invited us back to record in his studio and we are awaiting instructions...!

The End.

...I'm sure I will wake up soon...
