DAY FIFTEEN
Greetings from Bavaria! I love this
part of Germany and the beer is amazing!! Augsburg is the oldest
city in Bavaria and I haven't been here since 1980!! The weather
is unusually hot at the moment (33C!) so the bus is getting a little
"steamy"!
The RockFabrik (Rock Factory) is one of the best clubs on the German
circuit and after a shower to wash off the bus and yesterday Pete
dried his laundry on a shopping basket in the middle of the car
park and we were ready for sound check. Leo and Batzi made us very
comfortable and sound check was… LOUD! Also they had blue speakers
which was a problem as this colour clashes with all of my stage
clothes… (just kidding!)
Dinner was great (another Schnitzel!) and then came the "celebrity"
appearances! First Bernie Reichert and Iris then Richard Wagner
and then Thommy Muller!! This was going to be a star-studded evening
indeed! After the opening act was finished (and they were loud too!)
it was time to rock the house and we did! It probably wasn't our
best show but some good things happened and the crowd seemeed to
enjoy it. I had a chance to meet everyone afterwards and then it
was off to the hotel for a real night's sleep. We have a couple
of days off now before the last show in Gerolzhofen and after that
we drive back to England for the show in Deal on the 21st.
This tour has been really good in many ways, even though the promotion
has been weak in some areas. Lars at Monster is already booking
the next leg in September/October and we will have lots of experiences
to bring with us so we are already looking forward to that. But,
for now, a little sleep and a laundry day tomorrow!
Next day...
