After class today I went back to Wigram and changed into the dress I had been planning on wearing for the show tonight. We weren’t going to have enough time to change in between going to Buckingham Palace and going to dinner before the show. Plus you never know if you’ll run into the Queen. We didn’t but you never know!
I thought Buckingham was much better than Windsor, although I ended up with a lot less pictures. Once again I couldn’t take pictures inside the building but I took pictures of the outside once the tour was over. I bought a souvenir book so I could remember to tell you certain things. I also took some pictures of pictures in the book so I could show you some of the things I saw today. Not everything because that would be basically reprinting the book but it’ll give you an idea of how beautiful it was. I didn’t buy a book for Windsor because I wasn’t real impressed with it to be honest.
After Buckingham we went to a bar called 101 near the theatre for “We Will Rock You.” The whole place was purple. It was fabulous. We celebrated Kelsey’s birthday and had some drinks, dinner, and dessert – the three Ds? At 7:20PM we headed over to the theatre… Here is the synposis they for it online:
The time is the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalisation is complete! Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It’s a safe, happy, Ga Ga world. Unless you’re a rebel. Unless you want to Rock. On Planet Mall all the musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate tunes and everybody downloads them. It is an age of Boy Bands and of Girl Bands. Of Boy and Girl Bands. Of Girl Bands with a couple of boys in them that look like girls anyway. Nothing is left to chance, hits are scheduled years in advance.
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. But Resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the kids formed their own bands and write their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see. Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe and draw it from stone. Is the one who calls himself Galileo that man?
He’s just a poor boy. From a poor family. But the Ga Ga Cops are also looking for Galileo and if they get him first they will surely drag him before the Killer Queen and consign him to Oblivion across the Seven Seas of Rhye. Who is Galileo? Where is the Hairy One’s lost axe? Where is the place of living rock?
Anyway the wind blows.
