On the boat back Home

Finally this trip is near to an end. Like I promised, everyone is sick by now, even marcus from our swe crew:D hahaa- poor bastard. He was really angry this morning when he picked us up from the hotel. Since me and Mihkel have been struggling with the flu for the longest, we're gettting better, but still not there. I thought that, its normal for people to stay in bed when they fall ill: you sweat and drink hot stuff and pump yourself up with all these pills. Nope, not for us- we go to sweden, party, play a gig, hangout and never sleep.

After my last blog entry I went straight to bed- other guys joined our "tryin' to sleep" thing around 4 in the morning, and when Karla hit our room with turning all the lights on, I was like: ARE YOU FREAKIN' FUCKED IN THE BRAIN...he freaked out:D...I mean even I freaked out- I saw these tornados and shit in my dream...the illness and everything else mixed up really fucks you up in the head. AND THEN. POW the freakin' whole world goes apocalypse! I was pissed.

In the morning we had some quick breakfast before going to stage dive. Joosep recorded a swedish audiocast for the tv commercials on Swedish mtv, so we could spread our shit more and more. We're planning to have a scandinavian tour within this year, so we've got shitloads of work to do- I mean our team in sweden has a lot of work to do. Everything takes a lot of time, and things need to be carefully thought out, you can't miss anything or you'll miss the "boat". Like I've written in my Myspace blog- every concerts gives me and the rest of the crew a huge amount of belief into what we're doing and we can see that, its just not another band from the US- we're really different with our whole shit- what would you call our music?

When we arrived at Stagedive I was kind of shocked to see so many IN THE SCENE people at one place. Usually I see 10 guys out of a 1000 havin' tattoos and piercings, but that fest had more than I had seen before. Most of the time I was like: oh shit, thats a good tattoo, Oh shit that ones even better...oh shit that sucks and you look at that one:D. Anyways the music was more or less enjoyable, non of the bands could surprise me- except casiokid from UK. They were pretty awesome. The bands with backtracks could mostly keep up to their own tempo, but the rest of the hardcore scene would go up and down most of the time...I'm not saying, that we are better than the rest:D just that they all have flaws.

I was really pissed at the fest 'cause they didn't sell any alcohol and usually alcohol gets the people really going. I bet the organizers even we're fucked because of that- I heard that 700 out 8000 people only stayed at the fest area, the rest partied in the small town pubs. I mean, WTF:S. Another thing was with the stage managers: I guess there weren't any, every stage schedule was really fucked up...a big annoying mess which I didn't imagine to be happening in sweden. I guess estonia has some skills in organizing fests like this. I'm sorry for the bands that couldn't do their whole setlists...

We chilled till 21 and then was our time to finish off our stage. It was the smallest stage there and having a hard time with the dumb sound engineer, we jumped on the stage just when andrew W.k was on: without a soundcheck. I mean, as soon as we hit the third song, people started showing up. I saw some curiosity in their faces and by the peak of our setlist, people jumped over the barrier in front and we had a crazy rockoff just in front of the stage...till the security showed up. HARDCORE! Thanks to all the people that saw us and had the balls to rock with us. I got my cup of inspiration from you and hopefully next time we'll see even more people. Hopefully we'll have a better experience with the fucking stage! DUMB FAT FUCK! I don't know what we'd do with out sander(our own soundman)- You the man!

After the show we hurried back to the hotel to get some medicine and chillout "upthere"- we were really fucking tired, but then again were waiting to see whats gonna happen at the "afterparty"(all the bands stayed at the same hotel). I felt like a freakin' camel or smth, my head was really heavy and you already know about my flu and shit...We had a few drinks, met the guys from a band(which name I just can't remember right now:D- hodouken?) and went back to our room...the flu fucked up everything, I'm tellin' you. But nonetheless we had a really good time like always- no matter where we are and what are the conditions- we're still in our own blue world. Or green.

I'm sitting in the lobby right now, drinking monster energy and thinking of what we did these last days. The others are dying in the cabins...I guess I should go die too, but OOOH, I'm so excited: I've got an online date with a really really really nice woman. Unfortunately its in 5 hours so I gotta get some action. I'll see if I can find something to do...

You gotta LOVE sweden!!!I mean, I do.
