Greetings from Glasgow

So I arrived in Glasgow yesterday and was greeted by Dale (daleroxxu) at George square, in the center of the city. We spent some of the day walking around and checking out the main part of town, but I was (and am still) pretty out of it, and had to come back here to sleep it off a bit. I skipped a night of sleep getting here, and probably spent 13 hours sleeping yesterday, and still feel pretty tired after more bus-touring of the city today. Hopefully I can shake the jet lag by the time I get to Amsterdam on Sunday. For now, I'll just try and relax and enjoy Glasgow. There are some museums, distilleries, and a bit more touring to do around here, not to mention Edinburgh which is only a 45 minute train ride from here. We'll see what happens, but I'm enjoying myself thus far and hopefully will continue to do so for the duration of my time here. For now, we've just heard of a spearmint rhino that opened about 5 minutes from Dale's flat.....gogogo? That's about it for now, thanks for reading.

PEACE America

Booked my ticket out of here for my 2nd trip since the drop-out heard round the world. We're headed to Europe ladies and gentleman, first stop: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Dale (Daleroxxu) lives in Glasgow so I plan on crashing at his place for a week or so, leaving on the 21st. Around the beginning of October, if all goes according to plan, at that point I'll head to Amsterdam for a while and see what's going on there.
Other than that, today was a cool day. I didn't put in nearly as much volume as I would have liked to, but I coached for 3 hours today, and played for an hour for a really nice 2k hour ($2500 day total). A high buy in MTT student of mine and I were playing the same satellite to the FTP 1k monday event. In one particular satellite tournament, 2 seats paid to the event, and we took down both seats, all while his student was sweating him live through the tournament. Pretty cool to see the ownage tree trickle down, and to have good days. Until next time.......thanks for reading.
