Europe day 8 and 9

--day 8
Long ride to Leipzig. Not much of interest on the way so far other
than we were pulled over by what I guess was border patrol coming into
germany. Checked our passports, asked a few questions about why we
were here, and he was interested in our bands and such. His final
question was "you don't have any drugs with you do you?" all at the
same time we all say 'no' excitedly, cause none of us actually do. He
laughed a bit and we went on out way.

Long boring drive to Leipzig. Venue was really tiny. Felt awesome,
like playing in a basement in Philly. One of daniel's (drummer from
city if ships) cymbals is broken. I feel bad, but we both beat in it
equally. Either we'll just have to live with it till Rosetta goes
home, he buys a new cymbal (cause I don't have the money for it) or
the drummer from blindead let's us use his...which I doubt.

On to Belgium tomorrow. Should be a good time...except for the long @$
$ drive. More boredom expected.

--day 9
So, not only was the drive to Belgium torturingly long, but the van
broke. It didn't break 'down' though. There was a weird gas type
smell, and a clicking sound under my foot, but we attributed the smell
to the factories we passed along the way. Turns out something broke in
the van, and was spraying gasoline out the back all over the trailer.
It smelled horrid. The venue was hard I find, there was some sort of
carnival going on blocking the way to the entrance. Best of all, we
arrived late, city of ships has to go on immedietly, and the 2nd van
(carrying Armine and the entirety of blindead) has yet to arrive.

The 2nd van showed up, but with limited time I spare. I'm hoping
blindead doesn't play a full set, because I think either there's one
more band before is, or we are playing next. Either way, we'll
probably only be able to play for a very short bit.

Looks like we're not playing at all. Hands down, worst show so far
this tour. Waiting for the van to get fixed after this I guess.

So we got to play one song. Quite unsatisfying. Squatting on some wifi
in the middle if the sidewalk in Belgium, kickass. 'nother show in
Belgium tomorrow by the beach, w00t!
