I can't even begin to describe how awesome the gig at Wacken was for us! There were literally no end to the fists banging in the sunny air, and I am not sure anything could have made this show better for us. Well, maybe a couple of more songs to prolong the sensation, but not much else.

The next day we had a long travel day, beginning at noon and ending around ten. On paper. We had a couple of hours at the airport in both Hamburg and Copenhagen, and we were all ready for a lot of waiting and boredom. What we didn't expect was that some of the In Flames guys would have exactly the same trip as we did (they also played yesterday). We had some beers and hung out and just had fun, and it made the day go by really quickly!


After another beer at the Göteborg airport, some of us went straight to St. George's, the pub of Henrik from Evergrey, and continued our drinking there. When they closed, Fredrik and I left our luggage at the pub and continued by closing down Kelly's, another pub. Then it was off to Sticky Fingers, but while in the cab I realized I didn't have the keys to my apartment with me; they were still in my luggage at St. George's... It took some telephone calls and some waking up of spouses, but eventually I was let in and could collect my keys and luggage. By then it was time for me to head home. A really nice and unexpected day/evening, and I haven't laughed like that in a long while! I really needed it. Thanks for everything, guys, it was truly a pleasure! "Alright, thumbs up. Let's do this! Leeeeeeerrroooooyyyyyyy Jeeeeeenkiiiiiiiinssss!"
