Driving to Herning. Funny little place. Venue is really great. They have an xbox, but no games.
“We Invented the Night” keep arriving.. they are at least 1000 people. we are scared.
Soundcheck, dinner, beer. I’m driving = no beer. Fermaten has great cola!
support-band are even more artsy then us! thats cool! I like them a lot.

People are really happy after the show.
Looking forward to have “We Invented The Night” with us again at Voxhall.
Driving back to Århus, and decide, that I’m behind = drink beer and rescure the wolrd through talking to Martin till late

friday:
Get up at 11, heavy heads.
Shower, get dressed, eat.
Show up at Voxhall at 3pm for soundcheck.
Drink beer + try and figure out why the fuck the hangovers are still there.
We invented the night arrive.. they are still 1000 people. Also “with no arms and legs” get here. nice to see old friends again. they are only 5.
Driving to Hinnerup to pick up our new Backdrop, that GLS was no able to deliver at our address. they were not able to make a phone call either.
Listen to support sound checks.
Dinner at restaurant. been there before. we are not the most outrageous people in the room and its apparently ok to yell cock.
Gearing up. putting up back drop. It is cool.
Surprise visit from yours truly’s former co-idiot. That was nice!
200+ people in the room, great show, thunderbolt and lightening
Gear off stage. sweet voxhall guy thinks we are slow. we are not! we are extremely slow, and happy.
Both supportbands join us at casa del lis.

Saturday.
Get up at 10.
Meet with guys in Mejlgade for surprise show at 1pm.
Crew is joined by:
Jens: in-house party starter and gear carrier + driver.
Anders: former co-idiot.

Reading yesterdays reviews: laughing, then wanting to kill somebody, then laughing, then acceptance, then indifference.
Gear out of buss, and on stage, quick sound check, show, Gear off stage, into buss, drive to Odense
try and figure out why the fuck the hangovers are still there. Upon finding answar = remorse, then smile!
5pm get in in Odense. sweet people. Supportband, Gorgon strike seems nice. They have funny manager, he’s a she.
Backstage tap-beer instead of bottles.. classy! and bandrooms with smoking allowed.. = happy Lis Er Stille!
On stage at 10pm, almost no people.. shit.
Dont care, play like its the end of the world.
People on venue liked us.
Gear off stage, into buss
Backstage bar open = Fernet 10 kroner, tap beer 15 kroner
The manager of Gorgon Strike is still funny
Band drive home and leave 3x “idiot at different levels” to the mercy of beer and Fernet branca.

Bad decision.

Get word that band are naked in Vejle.

Party till 4am
Get on train, crash
Wake up at Copenhagen central station at 6. Feeling wobbly
Meeting african prostitute on the way home. She thinks its a shame, I have to care my bag all by myself. I manage. Shes at least 4 times my size. And scary!
