Beantown.

We now find ourselves in Boston, otherwise known as ‘Beantown’. Apparently that is because back in the colonial days, a favourite Boston food, was beans, baked in molasses for several hours. So there you go. You live and learn.

There’s a yellow page in the itinerary book, meaning there is no concert tonight. It was a relatively short trip from New Jersey last night. There was a party kicking off on my bus. Felt like being on a bouncy-castle-boom-box.. another round of ipod wars in the back lounge. A chance to let off steam, for the guys involved with the TV recordings during last week. The night before a well earned day-off is always a late one.

Oxfam America’s office is just down the road from here. Right opposite the TD Banknorth Center, where the show is tomorrow. They have been working hard recruiting volunteers for every show. Especially Soha Yassine, who actually met us at one of the first shows of this tour, in LA. Now she works for Oxfam. That just shows how much this support from Coldplay can mean.

I’m off for a quick run. Getting a bit restless. This time of the evening, i’m usually running around a big arena. See you back in one of those tomorrow. Pete.
