English Comedy In Sweden - Cultural Learnings Of Europe For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Australia

Land Of Freedom

Freedom, its everywhere in America. There's so much freedom that I surrounded constantly by freedom and I can not every hope to escape the freedom. I am trapped and corner by America's freedom.

Its been an awesome time, seeing Ed, Caro, Jorge and Vaughny on the west coast was amazing. For reference, heres Jorge and Vaughny

Over in San Francisco Ed and I made a discovery which blew our small small minds. Riding along in a cable car we both let out small yelps (ok mine was a bit larger) when we noticed this sitting in a public garage in full view

AMAZING. Ed and I went back the next day and took these shots while the garage guard looked on with indifference. Maybe he gets fanboys like us all the time.

Seattle and the Boeing factory, amazing. Vegas... its sort of like a dream now. Vegas is like Disneyland for adults except Mini Mouse has her tits out and Goofey is handing you another tasty tasty Margarita. Amsterdam may have pot but it is very very tame compared to Vegas. Yup.

Now Im chilling in Atlanta with Detes, meeting the peeps, walking the dog. I did visit the CNN Center today and got a tour of the studios. Like wow. Unfortunately I did not meet Richard Quest despite my best stalking efforts. The Coke museum is exactly what you would expect plus you get free samples at the end, i do miss Vanilla Coke.

A few free days left before the flight back to the Arctic tundra of the north again.

I have made some important cultural learnings about America though. I have a new favorite TV show. Of all time. You know the drill sargent from Full Metal Jacket, R. Lee Ermey? Well he has a new TV show called Lock N Load where he takes a whole bunch of guns and... fires them at stuff all in glorious HD and super high speed cameras. This is the reason HD was invented people, its AMAZING. Just watch a minute of it. Just one minute and you will be SOLD.

whoa! united states of freedom!

I am in San Francisco with the crew and its all going well. I spent the night with Dieter in Altanta and was back out the next day for another 5 hours to the home of the Golden Gate Bridge. I met Caro, Ed, Jorge and Carolyn here yesterday and we have been having a ball.

We are staying down at fishermans wharf so theres seafood galore and the clam chowder served in a bread bowl was to die for.

Say it Frenchie, say Chowder!

While the crew has a nice hotel I am board up at a hostel right on top of Fort Mason. Now a bad affair but its still a Hostel really, clearly I need to come to terms with the idea I am not the backpacker I once was.

Tonight everyone is going on a night tour of Alcatraz and theres no room left on the tour! noo! I even wrote a great email to the people but its fully booked. I now call them hourly asking if there is a dropout.

Dear Sir / Madam

I am an Australian guy who lives in Sweden with his girlfriend and got so sick of the winter cold and dark he decided to, on the spur of the moment (1 day), join his Aussie friends for a 2 weeks tour of the West Coast of your fine country. I am super pumped that I am doing something spontaneous and seizing the day as Robin Williams did teach us in Dead Poets Society. Anyway, while interesting I am sure you wonder why I am writing to you.

My friends have booked some weeks in advanced to do the night tour of your fine facility on the 18th of Jan at 4:20pm. Imagine my dissapointment after booking many plane flights and hotels to join my good friends to see that particular tour is booked out! Oh no!

So I wanted to write to you and ask in person, if there was any any way, if I am a very good boy, if there could be an extra spot on the 4:20pm tour on the 18th of January. While I would never think to offer monetary bribes, bribes of good feeling and good vibes surely must count for something. It would surely be an irony if somehow I was caught for bribery while arranging a tour to an ex prison. Oh no. Just my thanks and gratitude.

Id really love to join my friends on this trip and if there is any way I may join them, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much for your time and if you have a free moment, my adventures are chronicled at www.zezeran.com

Kind Regards

Frisco rock on! Breakfast time, shaving time and then hot foot it into the city

America - The Land Of The Free

Hmm what shall I do tomorrow? I dont know.. how about GO TO AMERICA? Fuck it, Ive got 3 weeks on my hands now and its time to not only get some sunshine but refill with some all american enthuasim at just about everything. Im serious, its cold and dark here and its getting to me, time for some fresh adventures and fresh ideas to reboot the mind and get me some more standup material.

Hells yeah! Caro, Ed, Vaughny and Jorge are on the West side right now so heres the plan

Tomorrow Im off, Stockholm to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Atlanta.

Crash with Detes, have some brews

Next morning I am off to San Francisco. I arrive 90 minutes before the crew, just enough time to pick up an American accent and be the local.

Alcatraz tour, lattes, san fran stuff

Off to Seattle to see Boeings being made and drink more starbucks

Then DOWN TO VEGAS BABY! Suits on! We are all booked at the Pyramid Luxor. Hells yeah.

After this... I dunno. Back to LA? Ill have a good stay with Detes after this adventure. Will be good to see Atlanta and the great stuff hes doing.

I am travelling light, no 1000 pound laptop, just a cell phone with wifi. Ive got a light backpack, the suit, gold amex and a few changes of clothes. What more does a man need?

Blog updates as they come to hand. I am back in Stockholm Feb 5th. After that Ill be working on a new concept in comedy for this town, English stand up is growing and getting better.

FREEDOM IS THE ONLY WAY! FUCK YEAH!
