Happy Cinco de Mayo
Hey guys, I haven’t done a written blog for a while, so I decided to do one this week. I’m still in the UK, and having a blast! I’ve been managing to get some sightseeing in by waking up early in the mornings and looking around before we have to leave each day for the shows. I had a friend who lives pretty much down the street from me who happened to be in London this last weekend with his family, so I got to hang out and go around town with them! It was soo cool that we just so happened to be in London at the same time. I did sightseeing with them, but they left a few days ago. This morning, I decided to go to the Tower of London and take a tour around there. It was wicked cool seeing the crown jewels, and to think of how old all the buildings and things there were! Insane! I had a great time. Some other places and things I’ve gotten to go to and see are Covent Garden, Camden Town, Big Ben and Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and Westfield. I’ve managed to get quite a bit in each morning! Amazing what you can get done if you wake up early enough, haha.
So we had our show today in Croydon, and I felt really good tonight. I always wonder what people must be thinking watching me move lol, but I think the less you’re concerned about how strange people must think you look up on stage, the more you can just let go and get into the song. I’m trying to let myself get into that mind set more, and it’s been working 
. But anyway, after I was finished performing my set, they were telling me to pack up my stuff immediately because we had to go somewhere. It was with one of the promoters of the show, so I was assuming we were going to have dinner r something. When we got to our destination, we were actually in Camden Town area. I recognized it from when I went there yesterday haha. We got to the doors, and they handed me a pass with The Fray on it. I was shocked! I had no idea they were playing in London, and that I’d even be able to go see them lol. They were great, and their music is really passionate and striking live. I was able to talk to them afterwards too, and they were cool guys. Unfortunately, I was only able to see part of their set. The good thing is that right when I got there they started playing Look After You, which is a killer song. So I’m hoping to see their whole set sometime in the future. If you’re in the London area, they have another show tomorrow if you want to see them. It was the promoter and one of McFly’s managers who were able to make the surprise happen for me, so I’ve gotta thank them! haha. It was a real treat. But yeah… As you all probably know I can never ever keep blogs short. But just thought I’d let you know how things have been! I’m starting to become addicted to Twitter, but it’s nice because I can keep people updated all the time and the messages aren’t uber long. If you want to follow me my twitter name is DavidArchie haha. Ok. I’m done now. Talk to you guys later!
P.S. If you are in the UK let me know if you’re coming to any of the McFly shows! If you’ve already gone let me know what you thought. Thanks!
P.P.S. I love concerts
Song for the day: Absolute – The Fray

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Wondering if David will celebrate as he usually does??
Have missed those informative Wriiten blogs. Of course like the Vlogs but often crave those written ones with the details and the Music recommendations.
Always enjoy a Spanish song!!..by David of course.
thanks for keeping us updated and with all the Trips down Memory Lane. Well let’s see that 4 years and 3 years went by pretty fast!! Hoping two will go as fast for us and of course will want David and us to savor those years too!!

I remember the night David did the tribute to Selena at the Tejano Awards. At the time I wrote for Snarikies and I was in a chat with the folks on a Selena’s fansite. They loved David’s tribute and I remember being impressed with their devotion. I often think of them now as I wait for David’s return. They’re feelings for her have never changed, their loyalty is just as strong as the day she died. I looked for the link of the site that I hooked up with that night but I can’t seem to find it. I’ll post it here if I do.
Her fans wanted to hear and see David’s tribute and I remember the mod of the chat saying, ” Archies are in attendance, THERE WILL BE VIDS.
lol
