Great show ladies, it sounded like you had a great time.
Simone, I'm glad you had a good, if slightly odd, time in the city of my father's birth. That's right my father was born in Chile. His mother was from a Cornish family which moved out for the mining and she was visting them when the doctors told her she was too pregnant for the ship voyage home – this is 1924 after all.
Hugh, that's nuts that your father was born in Santiago! You're so international! Gregg was unable to be taken back to America from Australia after his birth in 1967 for six months so your grandmother not being able to take a boat makes perfect sense to me.
As for my odd trip, I didn't get to the parts where I went to the Museum of Memory and Human Rights and took a scenic railway up a mountain and saw the whole city. It wasn't all booze and bands! I also didn't mention I was only there for 4 days, 3 nights. Supergrass went all the way to China for a show and two of them ended up too hungover to go to the Great Wall! That makes my chest hurt. The morning after the Pisco Sour incident, I was up and out by 11am being a good tourist.
