Video: John B @ PVV Ideon in Pardubice, Czech Republic 29.05.09

Just been going through all the photo galleries from this event at the end of May, and found a nice video from the night too, thankfully one I didn't have to film and edit myself!! Looking GOOD! Luckily they didn't catch on camera how unbeleivably drunk I ended up - random Czech Vodka + purple energy drink + DJing Adrenaline = Drunky FAIL John B. It only hit me after I finished playing thank God - but still, 8am on the way to the airport the next day wasn't my finest hour!

Photos to follow!

You can check the video out on vimeo here: http://vimeo.com/4926809

Maidenhead's Bike Theft Crime Wave Revealed! ITS ME AND MY DAD!

So, Hayley managed to break her 2nd bike lock in 3 weeks - somehow buggering up the key/lock mechanism, so it was just stuck, locked up outside the gym... Was a Sunday night so I don't think any of Maidenhead's druggie/bike stealing swines were out working, so it was still there in the Morning...

Anyway... luckily my Dad's god a hardcore angle-grinder thing which can cut through ANYTHING. (Apart from maybe diamonds, or an EMI contract).

I put on my least cycle-thief looking outfit and politely asked to plug in our power cable at the gym - had to run it all across the street, in broad daylight and cut through the lock, sparks flying and everything! No one seemed to care. But I guess my Dad and I don't exactly look like your average crackhead bike thieves, and I would be easy to pick out of a line-up presumably. Maybe I should get all Winnowna Rider and see how far I can push it. HELLO YES I CAME TO PICK UP MY NEW BMW KTHX BYE.

If she breaks the next one its gonna be a lot harder to sort though, I ordered a badass D-Lock thing, and apparently the only way to break them is with a car jack. FuCk that!

JOHN B ON THE TRAVEL CHANNEL!!

Hahah! Yeahhhh beyyyotches!

My mate Casey Killjoy from Miami sent me this clip from a show that was aired last week, but filmed when I was down in Miami for the WMC back in March.

We all went to a superduper Burlesque/Fetish/Performance art/MegaMega Show via my good friend, the magnificent Wildchild - and ended up ON TV!! Only for about 2 seconds, and I think they used me as token MIAMIBOTTLESERVICEDOUSCHEBAGGUY - but still I WAS ON THE TRAVEL CHANNEL WOOOOT!!! Hahahah!

Bonjour Paris!

So - if you already follow me on twitter (I'm @JohnBBeta on there) then you will have seen these photos come up at the time off the iPhone - (yes John its very romantic to be twittering when you're in Paris with your girlfriend!) but I'll post them here for those of you that don't yet... FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!!

I played in Paris a few weeks ago, for a fabulous chap called Pierre, but went for the weekend and took Hayley with me so we could have a bit of a chill out and see the city - I haven't ever really done the Parisian tourist thing apart from when I was a kid with my family, so it was wikkid to get back there and check everything out now that I'm old enough to appreciate the culture a bit more...

Friday was groovy, we got in early enough to have a decent dinner before the gig, SANCERRE baybeee - then rocked over to the venue (as about 300 mad Parisian Roller-bladers were doing a midnight mass rollerbladathon thing) nice and early so we could catch Alix Perez's set and just hang out and meet people etc ;-) Had a KILLER set and amazing energy in there, and some professional video filming people were in there, so I'm trying to get hold of the footage - it looked like they filmed the whole set so it'll be great to get that use for video podcasts, or a DVD or something... Original Sin was on after me for the harddddcore folk still around at 4am, but he was whackked out from flying in all the way from Toronto, so didn't really look like he wanted to be there that much - understandable though!

I can't remember the order we did stuff in, but we managed to take in a bit of the Musee D'Orsee (except we got there too late to spend much time in there), I had a crepe, walk along the river, ate SNAILS and steak Tartare (RAW meat mixed up with raw egg and stuff YUM), went on a boat ride on the river and saw all the sights there, including Notre Dame Cathedral (but no hunchbacks!) and then finally WALKED/CLIMBED up the Eiffel tower as high as you can on foot - 115m - I think about 650 steps! In 30 degrees C heat. BOOOYAHHHH.

Alas I didn't get to have a croque madame - but I made one when I got home to make up for it...

I AM THE TOWERRRRRR
