at first i thought it was fucked that the US was out numbered by british already in this poll, not that i don't love the british. Then i realized that it's too early in the morning for all the 'mericans to be up, and you brits had the advantage of an earlier morning.

i'm a little slow in the AM

Yeah we are! Lap it up Brits. I'm all about the short game.
That may be because in about 8 hours we will definately not be winning anymore.

Thats because the U.K sucks and has no scene beyond touring american bands coming through town, obviously.. :roll:

It's great that there's a decent collection of us lot over there, what with all the friend-making and stuff. however, it does take some of the novelty out of having a 'funny accent' when half the people at the bar talk like you. Give it a few years, and it'll be the punk rock equivilent of sitting on a Spanish beach eating roast dinner watching football on a big screen T.V, haha..

yeah I met a ton of English folks last year. I just wish I could remember some of their names. I remember 1 guy in particular that kept correcting me every time I,d call him English. "I'm not English, I'm from Wales". Anyways its good to see people from all over the world converge on a small town in the swamp. All for the love of music.

I almost just had "Richmond" listed instead of "The Southeast"

Did you come with Andrew Jackson Jihad? It may have been me.. I remember correcting on that point not because of 'national pride', but just cuz I'm a stickler for factual correctness... and a pain in the arse :wink: haha

I don't think anyone called me English last year, now I come to ponder on it. Well played, America.
