I’m currently en route to the UK. Or maybe I’ve already landed, depending on when you’re reading this… My adventure begins in Edinburgh for no band related stuff, just having some fun for myself! I’m specifically on the hunt for some sheep magnets. Yep, you read that right. I got some as gifts for people the last time I was here and gave them all away but I want some more just for myself and my fridge.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 3/10-3/16

Posted on by Amanda

This week is all about prep for me. I have two trips back to back with two days in between. I should probably pack for both but will likely only pack for one and then speed pack for the other. I’m also getting my calendars prepped and ready. I won’t have a ton of time when I hit the UK at the end of the month. It’s a bit bittersweet with the demise of You Me At Six but I’m looking forward to the experience of the trip as a whole. But first, I’ll be in Boston with a side quest to New York. Catch me if you can!
