Google's New Street View.

Google has a new feature on their map page, a "street view", where you can see certain places from the ground in a 360 degree view from the road. It's limited to larger cities at the moment, obviously London, and other places like Leeds. Most of America seems to have it, it's good fun to look around an area from the street, spy on people and see what they were up to when their picture was taken. All the faces and number plates are blurred, unsuprisingly, but you can have a good look in people's gardens and cars!



One of the Google Street View Cars, Smile if you see one!


It'll be good when the majority of places are photographed and uploaded, you could see your journey before you made it, making sure you don't get lost or confused when your satnav dumps you at the post code you entered. 

Our gig on Thursday went really well, small crowd but they loved us, weirdly one of the drunkest blokes there was the nephew of the owner of the Rose and Crown, a pub about 10 feet from the car park of our flat in Godalming, awesome. He said he'd have a word and try to get us to play in there. I think I might go over and have a word anyway, it'd be great to do a gig that close rather than trecking it all the way to Reading, which can be a pain, as Will found out on Thursday! He was lost for a fair few minutes!

Speaking of Reading gigs, we've got a couple lined up, one at Deja Vu again, the date of which hasn't been confirmed yet, and a gig with some indie record company people on the 11th April. That should be amazing, I'll let you know where it is when I know, if we impress there Reading is basically ours! :-D

Have a good week, and enjoy the weather!
