Fairies and Guitars.

Saturday.
Woke up early and tidied my room for Fairy, who was coming round at about 10.30.
We guitared and learnt a couple of songs until mum said she would take us into town. IT WAS RAINING D: We passed the three cocks pub - "For when two just isn't enough", and headed into town. I began Fairy's tour by dragging him to the upstairs of the 2nd hand shop, which is basically a record shop. It's brilliant up there! Stacks of old vinyl records everywhere, guitars, sheet music, posters and framed photo+record combo things on the walls, old radios and record players stacked in the corner, and trombone lights XD
It's my favourite place in town now :) Fairy and I stayed in there for ages, just gazing around in awe and blissfully poring over the records of Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc.  When we eventually dragged ourselves back into the rain, we went straight to Intersales Music and drifted around talking about guitars for ages and gazing at the beautiful clearance Tanglewood electro acoustic in the window. It really is gorgeous. Headed to Costa and just chatted about life and whatnot, whilst sipping on our lovely hot drinks and nomming mini muffins. T'was rather funny :D
Walked all the way down to Make Music and sat around playing one of their 'Countrymen' guitars - very high action, but absolutely lovely sound! Dragged ourselves away and went back to the upstairs of the 2nd hand shop, where we asked to play the old acoustic on the wall. Also had a high action but a good sound. Stayed in that little haven for a while, then back up to Intersales to listen to the staff jam across the store. Unfortunately Fairy chickened out of asking to try out the Tanglewood in the window, and so we just left for the Newlands Centre to get money out for the cinema later. Drifted around Home Bargains before making our way down to HMV, and raiding the CDs. Raved to Arlandria by the Foo Fighters when it was played in the shop speakers; (And texted Ladybird to notify him of the fact). Also 'tested out' the ipod and headphones. I.e. we stood around listening to music for free XD Met mum, bought peanut butter in Boots XD Fairy was being rather camp :P Met up with mum again and drove home, where we continued to jam, though we added an amp to the mix <3
We nommed food while watching the BRILLIANT movie that is Nowhere Boy and jamming. Learnt the main riff for 'Raunchy' by Duane Eddy, which is the song that got George Harrison into The Beatles. (Side note: In HMV, Fairy managed to forget who George Harrison was D: Tis an outrage!).

So Jah.
Ate dinner, and then did a mad ad-hoc scramble to get to the cinema in Northampton on time. We went to see Chronicle, which was excellent. Kind of :O in some places, but in a good way. Thoroughly enjoyable, well made, and intriguing. You should see it :D
Sat in the cinema section of Sol Central chatting and listening to music. I bought mother dear some pink shrimps and white mice from the pick 'n' mix because I'm such a cool daughter ;)
Went home, then Fairy went home, and that basically brings us to this blog post.


So all in all, a fantastic musical day with my Fairy :D <3 Must must must do it again sometime. And drag my more like-minded friends to my secret haven at the second hand shop, because it is just so damn epic XD Saw something I would love to buy for Ladybird if I had the money - The Beatles framed record and photograph thing. It looks lovely, and I think he would like it :P Now just to get a job and find the money.... Hmmm....
