I have learned how to fly like a champ. After 30 some cities in the first three road tours, flying has become... easy.

Then again, on the first three tours, I was only on a plane at most 3 hours.

Onwards to new countries, and longer plan rides. Off to LONDON, and ten hours on the plane. I, of course had lofty ideas on the mass amount of work I could accomplish on the ten hours in air, only to pass out and sleep for 90% of the flight.

We arrived in London around noon on Saturday - where we were met by Luke from Lionsgate UK. Keep in mind noon in London is 5am LA time... We head off to the hotel, with just enough time to check in, and make our way toward the PRINCE CHARLES THEATER.

Since this is REPO, what can go wrong WILL go wrong. Terrance did not sleep on the plane, so he was running on fumes. When we arrived at the hotel, all T-Bag wanted to do was check in, shower, and take a power nap. But, of course, his room was not available and the desk clerk, asked if he minded hanging out until his room was ready. Me, being the nice guy I am, gave Terrance my room, and Laura--my fiancee--and I hit the bar.

We arrived at the theater around 3pm and found Darren Smith standing outside, chatting it up with the UK fans. Wouldn't you know, there standing in line were people dressed in costume--PAVI, SHILO, GRAVEROBBER! Again, I am slapped in the face with the reality of what we have created. We are informed when we arrive that the theater is completely sold out, and they are adding an encore show the following day. The rush quickly wears off, and suddenly I am tired. REALLY TIRED. So I do what any person would do. Start drinking! Here in London they serve beer in the theaters!

The screening began at 4pm, and Terrance, DS, and I introduce the movie... It's strange, the difference between the AMERICAN audience, and the UK audience. It was obvious the audience was filled with fans. But they seemed reserved. Quiet... Now, in the States, the audience is crazy, screaming, yelling, chanting, singing; but here in the Prince Charles you could hear a pin drop.

That being said, the screening began, and throughout the crowd, audience members were lipping the words to the song.

During the screening - Terrance, DS, Luke and I went to lunch at this great Chinese restaurant. We got back to theater just in time to hear the audience cheering the credits! VICTORY!!!!

That night, we all went to 'the pub' with some of the REPO FANS. Princess Jess, Gentern K, among others. It's such an amazing feeling to be in a community where fans are this loyal and dedicated. We had people who flew in from Finland, Germany, and Paris. Princess Jess is one of founding members of the REPO ARMY. She lives in the UK, heard about REPO on the web, and has been helping us since. She flew out to the VEGAS premiere, as well as the SPAIN premiere, and now she is here with us in LONDON.

I do not hide the fact that I am a LIGHT WEIGHT when it comes to drinking, and needless to say I was drunk under the table. So I decided to make it an early night and turn in early.
