Day 5 New York City-Ann Arbor

It is Sunday 3 pm and we have been driving westbound since 5 am - still affected by last night's epic event. The majority of us are passed out in the van, and Ann Arbor is still 3 to 4 hrs away. Just passed a caravan pulling a car. Curious... In Norway it is usually the other way around.

When Andy wakes up, we are going to sit down (if I am not asleep by then) and see if we can do some alterations to our set list and perhaps perform some songs we haven't played for many years. Should be interesting. So now, Ann Arbor, we wonder what you have in store for us :-)

... Sunny day when we leave Ann Arbor. Trying to put the pieces together of last night. We arrived in Ann Arbor at 5.30 pm after a 12,5 hrs drive. The trip started with Andy, Chris, Ape and myself telling fucking jokes for over an hour, laughing more and more as our jokes got better and better, or maybe worse, more and more politically incorrect. Since this blog is family friendly and all, I won't cite any of them. If you are above the age of 18 (or just 18 enough), you can in the meantime enjoy this one: http://youtu.be/2QOIRuc6sZU

Anyway, after a nice and healthy American breakfast at McDonald's, we went in and out of consciousness for the remains of the trip - until we stopped at a liqor store in Ann Arbor; then all pain was gone and we were excited like 8 middle aged Belgian men in a kindergarten :-O

After all the rush at get-in in NY it was nice to arrive The Necto in good time before doors so we had time to do some Jäger rounds with SITD. And we needed that to endure the awful smell in the back alley. Apparently the club shared the ally with a Chinese restaurant and their garbage container, which I assume contained chopped up human limbs, moldy fortune cookies, left over dog meat and other common Chinese waste.

The local crew was super friendly, and the FOH sound tech was skilled and easy to work with. So everything ran smoothly, and right before doors we were finally able to meet up with tonights VIPs and have a chat. They were all really cool, and we'd like to thank two of them for sharing their intriguing and touching stories.

So it was time to prepare for the show, aka drink ridiculously amounts of alcohol, but in such a fashion that it doesn't really kick in until the show is over...and it worked :-P So the rest of the night is merely a recollection of pieces. Let's see... people, Michigan ale, more Jäger, chatting, laughing, after party? fuck it, Electric Six on high volume through the streets of Ann Arbor, mosh pit in the van, hotel, sleep...

And you know, more clubs should have a patio like this club. There is always such great atmosphere when people hang out outside.

And one more fucking thing, fuckers. A few pigfucking perverts has told me that there is not enough god damn swearing in his shit eating whore blog. Now listen dickheads - fuck you! Create your own motherfucking blog, corpse fuckers!
