We just got out of Texas and landed in Denver, Colorado.
The Texas part of the tour was fun and we met alot of enthusiastic fans.
It..s always so hot in Texas, which slows our scandinavian minds down a little, hehe...

Houston and San antonio were more intimate than some of the bigger shows on this tour so far, and hot as hell.
The Houston show was great for all the bands, the crowd was very welcoming to the whole tourpackage.
Martin, Tomas & Adrian went to the Houston Aquarium during the day and wrestled some sharks.
Picture proof below!

The San antonio show was heavy on the stagedivingpart and also included incredible versions
of the usual singing along parts. There was even a girl diving with her purse around her wrist.
Pretty cool. Never seen that. Usually you hand over the purse to someone before you dive in? :)

In Dallas Rickard Cabeza (ex-dismember) and friends showed up and some old-school hang-out commensed.
Always great to hook up with Rickard, a good laugh!

Toxic Holocaust and Municipal Waste ran into a highway robber.
Alot of expensive and personal items were stolen at a rest stop.
Laptops, ipods, clothes, old vintage metal shirts ;( etc were snatched.
The Toxics and The Waste have a small collection for the guys at the merch area.
Please help them out! Thanks!

Yesterday we had a day-off outside Denver. Mexican food, poolside beers and the Dark knight movie were
items on the menu for the day!
Looking forward to hooking up with more old friends tonight in Denver then hit the road immediately
for the long trip to Seattle.

We are eagerly awaiting the west coast. The tour is coming to an end, so every gig is one small
step closer to the end. It's very emotional in a way. You have to savour the moment on each gig
because you know in one weeks time it's all over.
We have had a great time so far. It's overwhelming to see the great response everywhere,
and therefor we know this tour will be remembered for years to come.
Thanks for everybody for coming out.

/Tomas & Anders.
