I went to America last month. What? You hadn't heard?
The shame!
It just seemed to be time for Pete to tour the US. My tour was called PeteUSA2009 and was destined to hit the following cities
Las Vegas
San Diego
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Chicago
It was about squeezing in as much as possible in the least amount of time. Mostly because I'm not very famous in the US and my busy schedule in Europe and Scandinavia.
Early on I decided to keep a journal to document what I did, ate, experienced etc. because you never know how much you remember when you get home. I brought along a little book and wrote about every day on my 23 day tour. This little book is turned into a photobook, and is available in good bookshops world wide. Some of the stories and photos will be published on this blog.
As regulars know, I let someone tag along. My friend Dullface. It wasn't a huge success but he did allow for some amusing anecdotes, like the following.
We'd arrived at noon at the Copenhagen Airport and decided to get some lunch before our 8 hr flight. Dullface wanted a pepperoni pizza (this will be brought up at later date) and I was up for anything - except pizza. We settled on a café style place called Prego. They sold pasta, pizza, sandwiches and salads. I was first in line and Dullface asked me what I was ordering. I told him I'd get the plain pasta with gorgonzola sauce and beef tenderloin and he nodded. Clearly not sure what it was.
I ordered, got my food, went to pay while avoiding the paparazzo. When I sat down to eat, Dullface came over with his plate and he had ordered the same as me. I blinked. Then started eating, because it was not my business what he ordered, but I knew he wouldn't like it. He had three bites and pushed the plate away. Inside, I laughed so hard and then summoned all my restrains before asking if he didn't like it.
He said, he wasn't hungry.
Gratuitous Santa Monica Lifeguard totty.
Did Dullface actually bring up the pizza as in vomit? Hee!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Lifeguard totty!
Yay! First!
2nd! Yay!
ReplyDeleteNice totty.
How often did they have to rescue you and administer CPR?
IDV: yay!
ReplyDeleteI wish! You'll just have to wait and read about it.
Roses: why didn't I think of that?!?
Where were you?
The totty was excellent in California
Dullface sounds insufferable. I'm sorry you had to suffer for your art.
ReplyDeleteAll right! The adventure begins! I can't wait to read the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, traveling buddies suck! But so long as you still have a good experience then that's worth it.
Did the Baywatch lifeguards run in slow motion like they do on tv?
Tim: It's like what Bruce Willis said.
ReplyDeleteWhat doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Or, one of his albums or songs had that title.
Bingowings: I did have a really good time. Dullface wasn't with me all the time so that was nice. Even sometimes when he was there, I'd only get more blog material.
Curiously enough I never saw any of the lifeguards run. They just stood there, looking really hot.
Yippee , Petes american adventure starts at last .
ReplyDeletePoor old Dullface , he cant help it if you outshine him Pete :-)
the best thing about cali beaches, sugar! *sigh* xoxo
ReplyDeleteThere's a lifeguard waiting for you at mine.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, sweetie!
Happy Birthday Pete!
ReplyDeleteOh Hai Roses, Savannah, MJ!
Tillykke med fødselsdagen, CyberPete!
ReplyDeleteMay you have another great year full of fun and laughter, good friends and good times!
Happy Birthday Pete.
ReplyDeleteI have annoying friend who always 'eats what I eat' and then grumbles.
She's more sourface than dullface.
Happy birthday, 'Petra!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Dullface was just nervous about flying??
Sx
Oh hai XL and Scarlet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday CyberPete.
Hope you have a great day and you get breakfast in bed delivered by hunky lifeguards.
xx
Beastie: I know, it's a curse!
ReplyDeleteAthough he wouldn't shine even if compared to a heap of dung.
Savannah: Tell me about it! So, so, hot.
XL: Thanks dear.
Bingowings: Tusind tak
KAZ: Tee-hee!
At least she isn't dourface
IDV: Thanks dear, and thank you so much for the story. It's brill!
Miss Scarlet: He was, but that's not why he was like that.
Roses: Thanks dear.
Unfortunately, no lifeguards brought me breakfast in bed. Drat!
I'm disappointed for you.
ReplyDeleteBetter luck next year!
Thanks, I will be working on it.
ReplyDeleteI miss my ex a little. He wasn't a lifeguard but he was willing to bring me breakfast in bed. Naked.
