1 Day in Christchurch

Have to admit that i was a little underwhelmed by Snow Patrol's concert last night. Arrived halfway through the secong support band The Op SHop which were alright. The venue itself was pretty shit, a big kind of convention centre with a stupidly high roof and no atjmosphere, the bands looked dwarfed up at the top of it. THey played all their hits but hjalfway through i realised why i like Snow Patrol but cant listen to them for very long, all their songs sound similiar. There were a few times throughout the night whwn i was sure that they had played a song for the second time but it turned out that it was just another clone, there was one about 'Shut your Eyes' and then another one later about "Open your Eyes", i mean they were good enough to sing along to but at the end i was not clapping very much for an encore, which i am almost sure was just one of their songs repeated. Parhaps i did not enjoy it as much as i was very very tired. Had a good last nihgt in Dunedin but did not get a lot of sleep before we had to drive up to Christchurch, a drive that took 5 hours. There was just myself and one girl who were driving up so i had to stayt awake to keep her awake. Today was nice though, there was actually a good bit of heat in the sun so a group of us spent the day in the botanical gardens, leaving only to get some lunch and the Sunday newspapers. Three of us ewven had a nap for an hour or two down by the river, sleepy days.
