I write from Karlsruhe, Germany. This tour is going swimmingly, thanks to everyone at the shows. Germany is the best. Today I have two exciting pieces of news. The shorter one first: my cover of Bad Religion‘s “My Poor Friend Me” can now be found on my myspace – go check it out!

Secondly, well, it’s that time again, and thoughts have turned to shooting a video. We have a plan (a good one!), it’s for the song “I Still Believe”, but the plan involves a crowd. This is where you, potentially, could come in. We’re looking for people who can fulfill the some or all of the following criteria:

1. We need a crowd with a decadent, 1920’s / 1930’s kind of look. Girls in gowns, classy dresses, slightly burlesque kind of feel, elbow-length gloves, that kind of thing. Guys in sharp old-fashioned suits, fedoras, and so on.
2. We need people with tattoos – interesting tattoos, cool tattoos, bonus points if you have a tattoo with my lyrics on it.
3. We need people who are free to film next Tuesday (5th) afternoon in south London.

If you think you fit any or all of these (all is better, haha), we’d love to hear from you! In order to check that we’re all heading towards the same goal, it would be very helpful if you had a picture of yourself in your intended outfit and / or of your tattoos. No stress if pictures are a major hassle, but they will help. Please volunteers with or without photos by emailing video@frank-turner.com. From there we’ll get a crowd together and have an ace video! And as always, many thanks in advance for your help.
