Today was awesome because we got to hang out with Ben Kweller in Brighton. We bumped in to him at the train station and shared a cab down to the shore.

BK treated us to milkshakes and fried food in an America diner – I had gingerbread flavor and he had marshmallow, but my one won the taste test! We chatted about root beer, music, our favorite iPhone apps, London / America, temporary tattoos, webdesign and he took a bunch of CO+K Moo cards to give to his wife, Lizzie. He thinks Tom looks like Adam Green.

We got to hang out during his soundcheck and then we all headed to a secret gig in a park, where he played lots of requests and dedicated Penny On The Train Tracks to us. After that, we nipped away to send postcards and catch a few songs of Catherine AD’s performance.

In the evening we went to BK’s show, which was really good, and said goodbye to him (he wants T to email and “chat web”) and then headed off to see Idlewild on the DiS stage. I ♥ Brighton, I think we’re going to come down in a few weeks, when the weather is really nice, and spend the day exploring and hanging out on the beach.
