Meiko Wraps Up “Absolutely Amazing” UK Tour

Meiko checked in with fans while in London on her blog at MySpace (@meiko) on Friday (July 24), talking about the end of her UK tour. The singer songwriter tells readers:

My 1st UK tour has been absolutely amazing. I’ve been lucky enough to open up for Joshua Radin, to sold out crowds that had no idea who I was. I love that. It’s such a vulnerable feeling being in front of so many strangers- with hopes of winning them over. Nuts. Luckily no one threw rotten tomatoes at me and I sold out of all the CDs that I brought with me (woooo-hoooo) Hopefully I can come back here because I think me and England like each other.

I’m in New York City at the moment… Just woke up and thought I’d write you!) I just played three shows in a row here, and last night was the last one. They were great - I got to play two last-minute ones with my really good friend Joe Purdy, who is amazing!!!!

I’m staying at my friend’s apartment in the east village for a week, and I’m kinda falling in love with this city. New York used to scare the sh** outta me - but not this time…

So - would I ever move??? Hmmm - What do u like better, NY or LA?

A lot of really awesome things have been going on- I just got off tour with Eric Hutchinson, (who is amazing live if you haven’t seen him yet! Do it!)

I’m going on my 1st ever UK tour with my home fry, Joshua Radin, and! I might be going to Guam to play a show at the end of July! What what!?

Tour’s been going really well, though… We’ve been opening up for Eric Hutchinson who is awesome!! It’s nice to get in front of huge crowds that have no idea who I am - and try to win them over… Very exciting!!

But I have one pair of jeans and I thought I would take you guys with me as I pack my suitcase for tour.”

Meiko Moves Into Her New Place

Meiko updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@meiko) on Sunday (April 19), talking about her big move. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Things have been better than ever lately. I moved out of my sh**ty apartment FINALLY! And now I’m in a place that I love so much. And it’s all mine. I even have hard wood floors!

What what!? Not bragging - just super proud of myself for actually making that move. It was very necessary. My old apartment was a hand me down from my sister - who (bless her heart) had 2 dogs and a cat living with her who loved to chew carpet. uhhh… (that’s a joke in itself- not gonna go there)

Anyway- point is- I’m really happy.
