After the announcement of Mike bringing back the Streets, I decided that I could continue with the website again. Now I host it myself (no more Tumblr).
Mike sent me a private message on Instagram on October 21st 2017 saying:
Ted sorted me and Ozzy out again. And Clare offered to let me stay, luckily Ozzy was welcome too. Also Shep and Jamie, and Shep’s girlfriend Kate are coming, also Lizz and Abbie will be there.
I woke up at 7ish in Hillegom, because Mark had to go to work, I had some stuff to do at my house in Dam because I have hardly been in for the last month. When that was done I watched “Step Up“. I love that movie. I love Channing Tatum it was finished just before 9:30am, a couple minutes later Ozzy arrived. Just before 10am we left to get the bus to the airport. We checked in online already, we only had hand luggage (That was a tip we got from Mike in Solana Beach), so we got through very quickly.
I am going to the very last gig of The Streets at Big Reunion, the 2nd weekend. It will be my 35th Streets gig but the last one. I am not too sad, because I am very excited about whatever Mike is going to do next.
At 8.30 I phoned the room of Emma and Emma, I asked them if it’s OK if we leave at 10 in the morning, because we had to drop everybody off at a different hotel. They thought that that was fine.
At 9 in the morning, we checked out and put our luggage in the van, also Jamie‘s and Shep‘s…. They didn’t travel with us, they had a plane to catch. 7 hours drive to go to Orange vale…. Poor Ozzy was driving a very long boring trip and the ladies (all 3 of us) slept the whole trip).
Another short trip to LA…. This time, both of the boys were in our van today and Emma Jones. (She and I never wanted Rachel there). Miss Pope joined Rachel.
We heard on the After show last night that the boys were staying at the same hotel as we did. NICE! We didn’t see them though. Anyway… time to go to LA…
We arrived pretty early…. Rachel dropped Emma off and went to her own hotel/motel/hostel. We were staying in the Wilshire Plaza hotel on Wilshire Boulevard. We checked in. The guy from the reception lied to the ladies. He told them that they had the best room with the best view. They were looking at Downtown LA. I believe that Ozzy & I had a better room. We had a view at the Hollywood Hills.
Ted was staying in the same hotel in Solana beach as we were.
On Twitter, Mike wrote he was looking for the hotel. Rachel told him how to get there. We had breakfast, Emma, Emma & Rachel joined us. They didn’t have breakfast, but they were sitting next to us. It wasn’t a normal breakfast with cereal, pancakes, donuts, bagels or waffles, but we had to make our own cheeseburger. Not sure if I like this for breakfast.
Ozzy & I took the train from Bloemendaal to the Airport. We arrived in America on October 10th flight was a nightmare. The plane left Amsterdam 1 hour late, so from the 3 hours that we had to transfer in Washington we had 2 hours left.
