Jamie T

Euan introduced me too Jamie T when I first got here. It was the first time we really hung out. Euan is a music snob just like me so we show each other some great stuff.

I have a soft spot for Jamie T, not only because I associate him with Euan and traveling abroad but his music is fantastic. He is close to my Shakey Graves obsession.

So, we got tickets to go see Jamie T in Amsterdam together.

We got into the city ( both hungover) and we walked around a bit. Then we stumbled upon this authentic Thai restaurant that had killer food. We had the best talk in this place. We talked for more than a hour about our families, and parents, and the hard and the good times.

This is what I love about Euan, is that most of the time we have fun and banter, but we also always have these great conversations where we can both just feel how deep, and nice they are to share together.

Then we stumbled upon a few great bars ( Amsterdam is super touristy so it can be hard to find nice, local places).

The last bar we went to before the concert was one of the best parts of the night. We were drinking high alochol percentage Belgium beer then somehow managed to take 5 shots of tequila each in like 45 minutes.

There was a cat we kept harassing at the bar, the bartender was having an amazing time making fun of us and after giving us our last shot said we will only give it to us if we leave.  He loved us deep down.

Euan and I were so trashed by the time we got to the concert.

This was one of the best concerts that I have ever been too.

Euan and I both agreed that we usually like to be towards the back where we can dance and have space, we were so drunk I was elbowing our way to the front, We danced our asses off, sang, and enjoyed Jamie. Jamie T even held my hand in the crowd ( Euan was pissed because he has been to like 6 of Jamie's concerts and that has ever happened to him).

After the concert we went to try and get the night train but we were so drunk and it was closed. We didn't know what to do because we have no where to stay.

On our walk to find somewhere to stay I go into a fight with a taxi driver where we kept flipping each other off, I yelled at stranger for looking at Euan weird, and got told at a 4 star hotel that if we couldn't afford this to go to a 3 or 2 stat hotel. It was great.

We ended up having to spend 100 euro at a a hotel. We were not even made because it was a funny story. We ate a mega breakfast to get our money worth, stole lots of jam, and didn't check out till the last minute.

It was a good trip/
