Saw Bill Bailey in Boston last night
He was performing at the House of Blues in Boston:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Bailey
Very funny guy and the place was packed with Brits.
Was standing in line with an American from work I'd dragged along since we had a free ticket to spare, and I joked how, of course... all us Brits know each other. The guy in front of me turned round with a strong Liverpool accent and said "well, you don't know me" and proceeded to chat to me in line. Others started joining in... a real home from home for 5-mins
Of course, if they'd have had the common sense to not schedule a show right next to Fenway on the same day as a Red Sox game, I'd have been a little happier!
Having refused to pay $40 for parking
, I parked under the common for $8 and proceeded to walk nearly 2-miles 
Took the subway back to the parking lot. I'm not completely stupid and cheap... honest

you lucky bugger. Didn't come anywhere near us so I know I wasn't going to get to see him. Saw some odd tweets from him about his Boston gig though
