Rock You, Sock You, Pick You Up and Drop You!

Good Morning Blog Fanatics,

For those of you new to the loop, I am your host, Neal Oram, and this is where you can find out all about me, what's going on, where I'm travelling, and what things I've seen so far.

Right then, so this morning I've got to fill you in on what I did yesterday. Well, the morning was a usual day, walking around the city, meeting people from all over the place, sweating profusely, and generally drinking copious amounts of water to prove that I could still pee! Ahem. In any case, that pretty much drained me, so after a run, which i think was yesterday, I headed back to the hostel, cleaned up, and headed out to my first live musical show.

Yeah, yeah, ham it up. I went to a muscial. But, I'll bet that if you were here, you would have loved it. The musical was called 'We Will Rock You'. It was created by the remaining members of Queen a few years ago, and has been running ever since. Honestly, it has got to be one of the best shows, if not the best musical show I've ever seen. The theater felt more like a rock concert than a show, and of course the singers we ridiculously talented. Definitely professionals of some sort. Whew. Oh, and need I mention the little clothing some of the female dancers wore. Rawr! Cough cough, ahem!

Another thing, if you head over here, head to Leicaster (spelling may not be right) Square. That's where all the theatres are for the shows, and also where all of the discount ticket agents are. On the day of the show I got 60 pound top class seats for 35 pounds, not too shabby at all. Definitely a spot to check out though. Each theatre is dedicated mostly to one show or another, which makes the experience really special in each place. In this one, they even had in-floor hydraulics on stage to lift performers up and out over the audience. for over 2h30min of showtime, 35 pounds was worth it.

On another note, I just got back from a run with a German friend of mine. I just rackeed out on one of the trails too, and combined with the spots we both have from some plant when running through some thorn bushes (of course, my idea) I'm now spotted legs and scratced up forearms and shoulders. But hey, would it be a good run any other way. Ha ha ha.

RIght then, catcha later gators.
