Berlin

We survived Poland. Four days, I think, is enough for all of us. The previous nine days we did were quite possibly some of the worst days of tour.

Don't get me wrong, some of those shows we're the best of tour, with the greatest response from the fans, but the interaction with most of our polish fans is, for lack of a better phrase, completely bonkers.

Although we did have the occasional crazy person approach us, for the most part, it was fun.




Berlin was a blast. We felt weird at first about the extra security the club had (we needed either an escort, or special fob keys to get to the backstage area), but we got used to it.

The sound guy was THE best solid guy I think we've had, ever. He knew exactly what we needed, was excited about his job, and made our jobs infinitely easier, and I think he liked us on top of all that.

I'll never understand the Germans. The same guys that stand there with blank expressions on their faces all night, making me think we're doing a horrible job, come up to us after the show, really excited, and tell us very positive things, and how much they liked it. I don't know if they don't know how to express themselves in the moment, or if they're afraid of some head banging or singing along. Either way, 'twas a fun show.




We're now sitting in the backstage of the venue, all packed up, and we're letting the drivers get some rest before our long trek to Sweden.

Here's a picture of Mike:

Sweden tomorrow...it's gonna be beautiful.




On a more personal note, and girls, I'm talking directly to you. When a dude pours himself into a note, even if it is via text or Facebook, don't just reply with '(:' and expect them to be satisfied. I'll just assume it's an immediate rejection of whatever i wrote, or you just don't care enough to even read it. That is all...
