Benny Boo Boo

I do realise that i've been very neglectful of my blog lately, thank goodness it's not a child or animal or anything otherwise social services would probably be on my case by now. However, my lack of blogging does mean that i now have an ABUNDANCE of stories and adventures and pics to bestow upon you all! The past 3 weeks have actually been TOTAL UTTER MADNESS!!!! Just when i thought it actually couldn't get any better, wilder or amazing-er it did.

So first up we have ~On Tour with Ben Harper:



So on Oct 5th we decided to go to a Ben Harper concert. Now i'd been ill in bed all week long and still hadn't made a full recovery. In fact, i almost didn't go to the Ben Harper concert due to the sniffles-oh my, quelle mistake that would have been i tell you! We went to the concert, absolutely loved it & had an amazing time...



Now me & Angelica thought it would be pretty darn cool to hang out by the tour buses post-show & just wait around so we could get a quick piccie with Ben. Before we knew it Leon, a member of The Innocent Criminals, (Ben's Band), had given Angelica, Brianna, Eva, Kelly & I after-show passes! :) Oh you don't even know our excitement! But this was only the beginning...




So us and about 20 other randoms go back ino the building and party with The Innocent Criminals. We all hang out, laugh lots & eat the odd few crisps, (i was of course absolutely starving but had to hold myself back as i didn't want to look like the piggy fatty girl in the corner who just came to eat all the free food!).


After the after-show we all got on their tour bus and partied the night away. The tourbus was totally pimp and i felt like i was in cribs!!! We stayed up all night & ended up going to Barcelona for the show the next day. Barcelona with Ben Harper... you've gotta love it!

So we arrive in Barcelona looking like this:


We hit Las Ramblas, buy some new clothes from H&M and get our make-up done at Sephora...




I think it's fair to say we scrub up pretty nice!!!

We were lucky enough to watch the show from onstage & oh my what a show it was!!! The man is a musical genius and truly an inspiration!
