Spring Comes to London


Jenny and Rebecca during a picnic lunch outside Euston Friends House, where we take our classes.


Here's another view of Euston's garden. The brick building on the left is the Friends house.


This is a sculpture on the ridiculously ornate memorial to Prince Albert, which is right behind the Royal Albert Music Hall. I had the strange privilege of attending the "Classical Spectacular" there. Have you ever listened to "Fanfare for the Common Man" accompanied by lasers and fog machines?


This is me with Beth Ditto of The Gossip! I went to a free Gossip show at HMV (a chain record store in England) and there was a record signing afterward. I was one of the last people in line so it was all very rushed, but Beth was super nice and knew that Michael Jackson and David Letterman are both from Indiana! The security guard took this picture.


Almost every Thursday, my friends and I go to one of the local pubs (John Baird) to play in their quiz night. We decided it would be fun for our team name to be "The Russell Joneses" in honor of my dad. We always do really terribly at quiz night (as is probably obvious by this pathetic card from round 6), but we have a great time. So, Russell Jones, we may have come in last place, but we did it in your name!

That's an incredible pic of you and Beth--you're looking appropriately rock star. And remind me to never invite you to join my pub quiz team.
