--day 5
We're at a local Czech restaurant and about to eat this fried cheese dish with fries. I'll take pictures. It's gonna be epic. Carbonated water is all the rage here. I hate it, but I get it whenever I ask for 'soda' but I think I have to ask for 'voda', not sure though.
Fried cheese is goooood. Authentic Czech dish, picture coming soon.
Stopped at a truckstop and had a cornetto. Now I know why Simon Pegg loves them in his movies so much.
At the venue in Brno. Some creepy guy answered the door, they're waiting for some type of cabinet (maybe musical, or part of the stage) before we can load in and soundcheck.
This place is kinda creepy looking, but it could be fun. It's right near a university, and we're only about 500m from the hotel we're staying at, so sleepytime can commence quicker than usual. Food i here, w00t!
Matt's sister and friend arrived, but turns out there's no room for them in the van or hostel. I guess they'll figure out something. Meanwhile, the fuse for the power on stage blew twice during blindead's set. I really hope we (city of ship and rosetta) have better luck.
No such luck. Power went out during our 3rd and 4th songs. We were able to finish the 3rd, but not the 4th. People were bummed, as was I. Again...lots of beautiful women here.
Still waiting to see how Matt's sister and friend situation is gonna work out.
We've been put up in an actual hotel. Pampered much? Still no wifi though. Hung out for a bit. TV only had 3 channels, all in Czech. One was a porn advertising that was amusing to watch for a moment, but then just got weird. Anyway, Budapest next.
--day 6
Good sleep in a nice bed. Alarm on my iPhone woke Andrew (from city of ships) and I up. Sounded like the fire alarm. Free breakfast at the place next door, yay!
Enjoying the company of Matt's sister and her friend, esp. her friend. Apparently the tour manager, Mojo (pronounced mouyo) had all the tour money (for gas and stuff, not our personal merch money) stolen last night. Le'sigh. On our way to Budapest today. Heading out soon I hope.
On the road to Budapest. I'm actually saving money by not being able to change my American money over to present currency. I've used my card a couple times, but most places here don't take it. Still thinking about Matt's sister's friend. Probably a bad idea torturing myself like that. I think we're meeting up with them again in Vienna. 4hr drive to Budapest, gonna try and get some sleep.
In Slovakia now, but keep seeing signs for Bratislava, and it makes me giggle because of the movie EuroTrip.
I'm getting used to this carbonated water thing. It's weird, but I'll suck it up for the rest of tour, hell, maybe I'll start to actually like it.
Arrived in Budapest. Really awesome sites. The wifi isn't working on my iPhone, but is connecting on my laptop, go figure.
They setup a giant buffet for us here. There's a huge lounge room for bands. More pampering much?
