The Killers
Well, last week was quite good fun.
Apart from is being my first week at work, we also had our first hourse guests over from the UK. Chris Hall and his girlfriend Jo, friends of ours from the dive club we were members of in London came to stay. They were over in Manhattan as Chris had managed to procure two tickets to see [ahem] Elton John at Madison Square Garden [I think someone had paid him to take the tickets off their hands...]. They booked into a hotel in Little Italy, but came to stay with us when they realised they didn't even have hot water! We had a nice week going out on the town with them.
Last night Carrie and I went to Jones Beach, Long Island to see The Killers play, as a warm up gig for the 'Across the narrows' Festival they're headlining on Staten Island this weekend. Also supporting was the British Sea Power, a UK band I've liked for a while. Overall the night was really good, great sets from both bands. The setting was really cool too, an amphitheatre surrounded by water! Its the only gig i've been to where there was a boat next to the stage.
And of course we got some pictures....
