Jon Wurster Tour Diary
« on: June 09, 2009, 04:19:11 PM »
For anyone interested, Jon Wurster wrote a tour diary for the UK tour with AC Newman that took place last month and Magnet is posting it a day at a time. It's a very good read.

I was lucky enough to see the London show and it was really great- one of my favourite songwriters together with one of my favourite comedians. I nerdily hung around after the show and don't know if I was much better than James meeting Tom but he couldn't have been nicer. A little disappointing that I wasn't one of the highlights of his day in London, I can't believe my obvious questions and standard compliments didn't charm him to bits.

I feel like a 100% tool for not going to the Manchester show. I have no excuse. I had money and time and wasn't feel work-tired. What a jerk.

That confirms it.  For a long time I was getting Gilly and Gibby mixed up.  Sorry, Gi__y-men.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

should there be a (sic) in there or did you mess up, GFace?  That's the most annoying typing mistake that I make regularly, btw.  Nothing makes you sound more like a neanderthal than subbing you for your.

Yeah, it was me.  I can't type for s-hut.

Great read. That last A.C. Newman solo album is killer. That shouldn't be a surprise, but I did like it a lot more than the last New Pornographers record.

That album is so solid -- nothing slack on it.
