oh, that pic reminds me..... the booze tab just might outweigh the cost of the rest of the trip That's what I'm afraid of too actually, I was thinking the same I usually drink too much when I'm on vacation cause I'm excited and relaxed at the same time, a perfect combination for some good partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! hey, if you can't bring Blind Melon to Slovenia or Canada, bring Slovenia and Canada to Blind Melon, right? ;D RIGHT! ;D ^those might be the type of fans they fear the most, the travelling kind ^ then we simply shouldn't tell them I won't be able to hide my accent though, but I can tell them I just moved there or something It's past 3am but I don't think I can sleep, I'm too excited #thudsmilie# I hope I calm down soon though, or I won't sleep until the end of februry and I'll come there exhausted and then I won't be able to sleep cause once I'll be there I'll be even more excited

What happened??? looks like it doesn't bother you much YAY! So are you comming to Hartford for sure??? that's good news to me cause I rather see you come to Orlando with me and forget about the Avett Brothers already An important question I can't believe I haven't asked yet - how much does beer cost there??? (In bars and in stores) And you actually can't drink in the street or am I wrong? What about smoking, can you smoke in bars? In Europe they started to spread this law about prohibited smoking in all public places, including bars and night clubs, in Slovenia it's since last summer and in France it started on january 1st. Italy and Ireland have it too, not sure about others.

Well I dont know if I'll have money to make the trip down to FL period, although it would rock bc that friend of mine I told you about lives in Orlando so we'd have a place to stay for free and it'd be awesome to see her after so long. Then again, I'd hate myself forever if I were in FL while Langerado was going on and I didnt make it... I dont really know why I was fired actually, I worked my ass off... The lady is a nut so I honestly don't think it was me who did something wrong, she probably just woke up in a bad mood and felt like firing someone Anyone seen the movie Nanny Diaries??? Totally what this job was like, minus the kids though... I actually only saw them once, they were never there! I do still have my old job though so Im not unemployed or anything... ;D

Oh yes and I dont know how much beer costs in bars because I dont drink beer, but as far as smoking goes some places allow it, others don't. I think most clubs we went to on the last roadtrip didn't allow it though.

Cigarrettes and booze are the Devil's muse...according the all great Mr G.W. Bush (I think they spin on the Axis if Evil)! Pretty sure smoking is banned just about everywhere accessable to humans. It is here in Canada, and last year when I travelled down through New England it was the same everywhere there. Drinking in the streets is out too....sucks I know. One of my favourite things about Europe when I visited was the fact that you could buy and drink beers just about everywhere! Beer is much more expensive over on this side of the pond too...sorry!
Hope you have an awesome trip. I won't be making any shows...kind of a money saving plan I currently have going...surely they will come to Canada soon!!!!!

Beer is much more expensive over on this side of the pond too...sorry! Aww, that makes me sad!!! What kind of vacation is vacation without beer?? How much is beer over there? One of my favourite things about Europe when I visited was the fact that you could buy and drink beers just about everywhere! True! I actually can't imagine it differently, you get used to it real quick #haha# Can you smoke on the streets at least??? Too bad you're not comming Jason, hope we get another chance to meet, maybe vigil? and you'll have a blast once they come to Canada!

It all depends on what type of beer you want to drink. I would imagine in the clubs we will be going to that beer would cost anywhere between $2-$6 per beer depending on what you are drinking. Beer will cost more in NYC (because everything costs more in big cities). Drinking at bars in America is EXPENSIVE. It's a good idea to get a head start by having a few drinks ahead of time. You can smoke in the street, but some clubs will not let you smoke inside. Other clubs don't care. Some have rules where you can only smoke in certain areas of the club. It just depends where you are. In some states you can't smoke in public buildings at all, but I don't know the laws for every state.

Alcohol is much cheaper in The States,that was the best part of my trip ;D.. There's really cheap places in NYC too,you just have to find them Go to Wall Mart to buy your drinks.. That was heaven! So cheap compared to Europe,well,compared to Scandinavia anyways.
