Glasgow - May 2008

Right now i'm sat at the end of Mhairi's bed with Alex strumming on the guitar to my right and everyone now half asleep from an exhausting end to the week here in Glasgow.

Next to Alex is Ian, on the bed behind me is Jasmine, Mhazz and Daniel. Fro in the kitchen.

Yesterday 30th May was another successful gathering, but this gathering unlike the others I have been to was alot more relaxed. Maybe its something to do with the glorious warm weather we had, it was a blessing in disguise.

Once again Oz (youtube.com/ozzybhoi) amused and amazed us all with his magic tricks and cards. One of the tricks, he gave Steve (youtube.com/3sixty5days) the deck of cards kept in the packet; asked Steve to make a phone call to anyone and ask them to think of a card.
So the whole time Steve was on the phone to some random friend back in Ireland he was also holding the deck of cards. The friend on the phone named a card of choice, Oz asked Steve to take the deck out of the packet and look for the one card facing opposite all the other cards; sure enough it was the one.

Now I often think I know a thing or two about magic tricks, but this one amazed me beyond belief. I'm sure this was more than just another trick, if the video of it goes on YouTube i'll add it just below this paragraph:


But like I said earlier it was so relaxed and chilled out, this time we went to the Kelvingrove park and just layed on the grass under a tree. And for the first time I wrote a song with Nick, Richie, Koos and Jasmine. Its called 'When we meet' and its about my general experience with gatherings and travelling, here's the lyrics:

Play me a song
Any Song will do
Lets sing it together
Just me and you
-
Lets travel the country
Travel far and wide
We'll sing it together
Just you and I
-
In fields of green and
skies so blue
Meeting brand new people from
Yoooohuuu Tube
-
I'm having such a good time, sitting
Under this tree, singing
Songs with you guys
Yeah you and me
-
Come rain or sunshine
Today is ours
Together or apart
This day is OURS !

(On the guitar its played with the A, D and C cords)

This blog is long already so here's a bunch of photos from my phone; i'll also add some YT videos later this week...
