My first concert . . .

Yesterday I went to my first Sing Live UK show! It was a wonderful event held in Manchester at a beautiful concert hall, especially since we don't have anything like that in the USA to my knowledge

Something I noticed was that the UK group has learned over its 10 years how best to organize hundreds of excited singers on the day of a concert. Through watching them I learned many valuable tricks that I will use for USA shows in the future.

Yesterday, however, was a long day after getting up at 7am and not returning until after 1am Monday morning. Therefore, I demanded a lie-in this morning to get my beauty sleep.

Things have been getting extra crazy at the office with the ball being less than a fortnight (two weeks) away and with John (the other co-founder of SingLive) just coming back from the states. Unfortunately, he didn't bring much sunshine with him...

I realize that it's been a while since I've shared stuff that's different in England so . . . a little weird English quirk that i have notice is that they use a lot of double letters in words that we would not in the USA. Like Jewelery is jewellery and traveling is travelling, and whenever there is a double letter in a word the will say "double L" . For example, they would spell molly "M-O-double L- Y"

Time for bed with another crazy day ahead.
