The 29th of october

…was a comprehensive day. First of all I reached the respectable age of 25! Kristin had taken a day of to celebrate me, which she managed to do very well indeed. After we had eaten breakfast while I was speaking in the phone I heard some kind of singing outside. I went to the window to see what it was, and this was what I saw…

… a ceremonious male-voice choir consisted of our dutch friends in LPG (who had arrived to Sweden the same morning with their manager Ilana) together with Markus, Joel W and Martin where singing the lovely tunes of a birthday song. I felt like some kind of royalty…

Later on at night when we were in Halmstad to play at a Halloween party we had to deal with several sound problems. It appeard that the PA system was useless, so instead of doing the regular sound check me, Erik and the sound engineer Gustav (who decided to do the sound for us for free just a couple of hours earlier as it had turned out that the other guy who was in charge of everything had got ill. It was a real dues ex machine…) went to Falkenberg, a city close by, to borrow a PA from Gustav’s music store. In the meantime Markus and Joel W helped LPG doing a line check. We came back in time, but we didn’t manage to do any sound check. Instead Gustav did a “sound check” in our first songs. Anyway, we had a really good time on stage, one of my personal favorites, even if it felt pretty weird to play before a bunch of whitches, vampires, and clowns dancing crazily on the dance floor…

It took more time than usual to get home after the gig as we had to go back with the PA system to Falkenberg. It felt pretty strange to get home when Kristin was eating breakfast…
