Birmingham: Team Los Campesinos! (The miraculous twenty second post)

On Saturday I went to a Los Campesinos! gig in Birmingham with my friend Dominic and cousin (ish) Sarah (funtimes). It was fantastic. I ended up with a vinyl of one of their albums, and a band T-shirt. I shall now recount the epic (or not so epic) tale of musical adventuring.
On Saturday morning I woke up at seven. "Seven O'clock on a Saturday! Really?" I hear you cry, but I did wake up at seven on Saturday. Sarah arrived at 8:30am and we proceeded to get very excited for the day to come. Dominic arrived on time at 9:45 with his mother to pick us up and take us to the train station. There was a rather awkward moment when Sarah thought a man in the street packing his car was Dominic's father, and she attempted to put her bags in the back of his car. However, we soon pulled her away from the scene of the disaster, got into the correct car, and drove to Tamworth train station. After arriving in Birmingham and walking the short distance to the bullring shopping centre we were astounded by the enormity of Birmingham. The shopping centre was massive, and had every shop imaginable. Us small town country kids felt a little out of our depth in the big city. So we walked to the frozen yoghurt stand, bought some froghurt and found our bearings. After shopping for a while, talking to a hobo, and looking for somewhere to eat we decided it was a rather warm day; the glass that the shopping centre's roof mainly consisted of was also having a greenhouse effect on the rest of the building. So, we decided to explore Birmingham a little, and we ended up looking in some more interesting shops. We headed back to the Bullring for some tea at Pizza hut (free refill drinks and free salad bar? yes please!) . Sarah, Dom, and I then set off for the concert. We found the Rainbow Warehouse where the concert was being held thanks to Sarah's map (thanks Sarah)! The concert was opened by a band called Tall Ships, who were rather good. Then Los Campesinos! came on and we were right at the front, touching the stage, a meter from the band! If you've never heard anything by Los Campesinos! then the video at the bottom is one of their better songs. We had to leave a touch early to catch the train, however we only missed two of their songs! Eventually, after a train ride filled with drunken Brummys (not a pleasant sight or sound) who were only one pub in, we made it back to Tamworth and then back to Dominic's house where we crashed until morning. A good time was had by all!
