Still Trying To Get By In Yeosu

Last year two very good friends of mine decided to put their experiences of living in South Korea into song format.  Knowing the creativity and humour of these two, it was obvious that this would be successful, a hit if you will.  Yeosu and South Korea's loss was Thailand and Eastern Canada's gain as these two stars retreated to their prospective destinations. 

I decided to write to them to see what they are up to and ask them the following

" Dear Oo-U Chogum Chuseyos,

I  wanted to write to see if it would be possible to put your wonderful video on my blog. Whilst I found some pretty entertaining videos about the Expo, I can't help but feel that your video would both pay tribute to my favourite band as well as tell my friends and family what life in Yeosu is really like?!

I hope that you can clear this with your record label and make this dream possible for me, would it be too much to ask for a re-union gig at the Expo 2012 so we could make a live film to put that on the blog, sorry I am getting way ahead of myself.

I hope that this finds you both fit and well in your particular corners of the world.
Love and best wishes to you both x "

A few days later I heard from them both....

"Dearest fan,

It's always such a pleasure to recieve mail from the people who made us what we are today... I can only speak for myself as Geoff has taken himself away to a quiet retreat somewhere in the wilds of Canada to work on "that difficult second song." It would be a privelage to be apart of your blog. I must say inbetween doing gigs in Thailand I take time out and read your most pleasurable, insightful and entertaining blog.

As for 2012 it's something a lot of fans are asking for. Let me put this on the record now, "it's not about the money," but if i do run out it's quite likely I'll be back in Korea in 2012.

I hope this clears everything up and we can move on and start discussing royalties, merchandise etc. As for the Thailand tour you should come and pay visit. We've cut a deal with Air Asia that offers cheap flights and free accomodation at "La Maison de Jack...and Grace."

Peace brother,

x "

and....

"Ben Milburn, have your people call our people.

I'd be honoured. Keep up the good blogwork. Do you think you'll still be there in 2012??? I will be in the thick of school studies in 2012, but maybe I can steal away for a week. For the music, and for our adoring fans.

There's also an open invitation for each of you, (and any Graces or Cassandras you may know), to visit the vast, beautiful land that is Canada-East. We'll get you outfitted in a Cape Breton Dinner Jacket and a proper toque, and onto a diet of poutine, donairs, and maple syrup. Complimentary accommodations at "Chez Tobin". Flights are expensive. as. f*ck. The beer is top-notch.

Be well gentlemen, I keep you in my thoughts!
Geoffrey

Here is their video. If you haven't seen this then where have you been?
