Lady gaga and the BEP

Just a random update from Malta. For the most part I've just been touring around and fishing (with hiking interludes).

On July 4th I saw one of the coolest fireworks displays I've ever seen, and was allowed to be probably 20x closer than you'd ever be allowed in the US due to safety concerns. There were fireworks first set to Italian opera, then things like fireworks flowers, discs, and stars set to techno music. The flowers opened and closed and the discs had four inner discs which spun around the larger discs. I'll post photos of those after I get them off my camera.

Tonight I managed to get a slick place at the isle of MTV concert. Which was a free concert in Valleta with metro station, lady gaga, and the black eyed peas. I managed to accidentally befriend the friends of the security guards so I got free food from the VIP section and allowed to stand on the security barriers about 40 ft from the stage (there were 50k plus at the venue). I have no idea if this was telecast in the states or not. Anyhow I'd never heard of metro station although I did know one of their songs courtesy of backer. I'd never seen a video of lady gaga only heard her songs so her outfits were definitely shall we say unique (although she was probably dying of heat in one of them). I did find it amusing that she made fun of metro station during her performance. Black eyed peas were awesome as always definitely got even more of the crowd dancing than even lady gaga although that may have to do with ppl leaving due to the time and thus freeing up more space.

Anyhow that's as much as I'm willing to write on my iPod. Might briefly go online soon.
