You know you have been on quite a journey, when it even takes weeks after you have gotten safe home to write some words about it. I just realised that i have not been home on a weekend since the end of june. When drove off to start the tour in the middle of september you could still feel the summer in Trondheim. When we came back on the airport two weeks ago, the autumn had already becomed winter. So why did we leave in our van and returned by plane? Well, our car broke down. many times. The last time it was so fucked that there were nothing to do at the moment. Luckily it was after playing the last show in France, and it was a really nice evening in Lons Le Saunier. Somewhere on the autobahn the next morning the car just blew up and everything from the brakes to the stearing stopped working. Germany is obvious not a good place to have trouble with your car, ironicly enough owning a german build car. Especially not on a sunday morning. We called the road rescue, and he took our car on his truck, and drove us to the smallest dorf he could find, just to be sure that we would not stand a chance to solve things easily. We asked him to please drive us to a other place, but he just blabbed something on german and ignored us. We tried to get help in the Dorf, but all we could get was a overprized hotelroom and cold shoulders. Next morning we went to the local supposed to be a Ford Workshop, but it looked more like Bob the Builder's private garage. We got to move the last gig in Trondheim one day and waited all day to convince the garage that they did not have a clue what they were doing. 8 hours later they told us that they did not have a clue what they were doing. So we called our car-insurance company and said that we were fucked. So we got to leave the car, with all the gear in it, and travel home on their expence. It took even the whole night to find a way to get out of that shithole, finally we found a guy nice enough to drive us to Hannover Airport for...well, around a german week salory. Next morning we flew home and got to play the last gig. The car just arrived after beeing transportated home. As the Van looks right now, it seems like they have dragged it upside down on the autobahn, and then pulled it thru the bottom of the northern sea back to Trondheim. Well, at leas we got the car back.
But the tour was great. Thanks to all the bands we played with, to all the promoteurs,to all we crashed and eat to, to all the people who meet up on the shows, and talked and hanged with us.
A special thanks to Knute and Magni for their roadiework, Thomas Danger for the work on the Norwegian tour, To John and Jill for their hospitality and to S-a-N Agency and Hero PR for the England Shows, Tanja for the european part and lending out here home once again, Jakub and Marek from Czech, Boris for housing and helping us in France, The Ford workshopguys in Lyon for their efforts, bandtravels.com for getting us home safe, Storås Utested for their effort, and at last, Bodø Hardcorefestival and Uffa for making this last weekend a really memorable ending of the year 2006 for our sake.
