5 sep Cathouse, Glasgow, Skottland


We arrived around 12 and heard that the dressing room should be ready for us at 2 o’clock. So we went back to bed again and slept a bit more –can’t get enough of that!! Around 2 we took our bags and went to check out our dressing room.. and realized pretty soon that the dressing room they had been talking about was for backyard babies and we weren't really in the planning.. a few steps lower down in the career stairs.. The last thing that leaves a woman on tour is hope!! Haha.. Another small ..box.. but this time with couches at least..

Soundcheck was a disaster, it was extremely loud and wierd on stage and I’ve never heard so little of my own voice and there wasn’t much to do apparently. My plan was to stay sober this night, my voice is getting rough and I’m pretty tired over all but after the shitty soundcheck and lots of small annoying things happening, we went straight on the red bottle we got from the Skintight Jaguars and it tasted delicious.. just what we needed!!

The gig went as expected, we made it with some struggling.. the audience was good and kept us going, even though no one of us really heard what we were doing. We must have done good though ‘cause we sold out on CD’s –on the 4th gig!

After the gig we went back to our little cabin and finished the vodka… we all needed a shower but since it was upstairs at the Backyard dressing room and a security escort was needed we did it our way instead.. I “washed” myself with my make up wipes and Ida took a shower in the garbage bin… later the skintight boys came by and had a few drinks. They’re the real party animals on this tour for sure, and we just wanna go eat all the time, haha.. Also this night! We and some of the Backyard guys took a walk to find an open Indian restaurant, which we did after walking way too long. Took a cab back to the venue and had one more fantastic Indian dinner on the bus.

Våfflan with girlsAfter the dinner I got totally knocked out and went straight to bed. It was around 2 in the morning and after the hard gig tonight I felt I had to rest my voice seriously and not sit up nagging for hours. The other girls were the fighters once again and stayed up ‘til 6 in the morning, painting our traditional mustasches and whatever..
