I'm Home!!

It was a LONG last couple of days.

Saturday we were in Spain. When we got there it was beautiful!! Probably in the 80's, clear and sunny. The show was ON the beach. The stage was literally ON the beach about 200 yards from the ocean!

So anyway.... we get there, goto the beach, see the stage eat lunch (undercooked ground ham patties, french fries & a fried egg - weird!). It was nice out and everything was going well. We went back to the hotel to sleep a bit and then at about 6:00 we head back to the beach. We're almost there and it starts to drizzle a little. By the time we get to the backstage TENT its pouring rain, thunder & lightning! So 7 of us are huddled under this 10x10 tent. Eventually we give up and head back to the hotel to wait for word from the promoter on whats going on. At 12:15 am the tour manager comes in and says "they're ready for you". Aparently they found a comunity theater to move the show to and they were ready to start it. Originally it was like 8 bands, but they ended up only having Slapshot & Napalm Death play. We got to the place at about 12:30 and they played until almost 2:00. We left and didnt see Napalm Death play which sucked. By the time we were showered it was about 3:30am and then at 5:00 the alarm went off so we could head out to fly back to Germany!

There was some sleeping going on during the flight and the van ride to the Sunday show but not a lot. Mark, Choke, Ed and Chris headed to the hotel to sleep once we got there, but I stayed at the club. The Sunday show was great!! We cleaned up a bit and left there around 1:00 to head to the airport in Dusledorf. We got to the airport before 3:00 for our 6:00am flight to Amsterdam.

We had a short layover in Amsterdam. Just long enough for the guys to change Euros for Dollars and grab a soda. We get on the plane for our 8:25 flight to Boston. Well.... There was some issue with the plane and we sat on the runway until almost noon (Euro time)! Then we finally started our 8 hour flight to Boston. We landed and all was well until my bag didnt show up. I didnt get to say bye to the guys because they took off while I tried to track down my luggage (which they will deliver to my house later tonight). After that was settled Ed and I took the bus to Braintree and my dad picked me up and his girlfriend picked him up and now I'm home!

Sadly there was basicly no left over merch to be had. There was a hoodie of one design and I didnt even get to grab one of those So Im really sorry guys! I can tell you that the band is talking about doing more stuff, but I dont know when or where. I do promise that if there is merch I will do ALL I can to get you some!


Hilights of the trip:
