UK tour day 1

Kl 03:00 Pub Anchor, Sveavägen Stockholm
After a pretty tired evening with metal quiz and Metallica songs all night, we have to drag out all our bags and stuff back out on the street again. Begin to walk towards the central station but after too many stops and bad jokes that slow things up we catch a cab. We get on the airport bus in the last minute. A kid is screaming for more than 20 minutes and I'm glad I brought the big pack of earplugs..

05:20 Skavsta Airport
We arrive at the airport and get a fast check-in. Well there we meet half of the Backyard gang, and the other half will meet us at Stansted. As soon as we get on the plane, everybody falls asleep as little pigs..

08-something, Stansted Airport
We arrive at Stansted, take our luggage and we sit down and wait for the bus that is an hour delayed.

09:40 Stansted
The buss arrives, a nice nightliner! We say hello to the rest of the backyard boys, peeping out from the beds. All of us get one bed of our own, so we crawl into them and fall asleep pretty immideately. I've been counting that if we really want to , we can sleep at least 19 hours a day when going with a nightliner. But that wouldn't be much for a tour diary so we'll try to stay awake a bit longer.

14:00 -somehere on the way to Birmingham
2 hours late, some problems with the trailer and then the bus. We jump of and go to get a burger. It's incredible how good it tastes everytime!! We don't dare to tell that the bus problem must be a result of the Curse of The Crucified.. Things like that always happens to us. On the motörhead tour we had to spend one night in a toe truck god dammit.. But maybe it's just the Curse of being on tour.. Now the bus is working again, after some "jump-startin" so we're rollin.. Hope to be there on time.

19:47 Carling Academy 2, Birmingham
Just finished soundcheck. It's a small, cool stage and it will be hot, loud and wild gig tonight!!!
