Vesilahtelaiset New Yorkissa

Oh, how I hate this fucking Windows Vista! Yesterday it lost it's connection to the bus network and just can not connect anymore at all.

Now it's 11.30 and we're on our way to Cleveland, Ohio. Yesterday we were in New York City. That was brilliant. Once we got to the city we went out with Matson and three Moonsorrow guys. Janne, a fellow vegetarian and New York expert, took us to a place where they prepared amazing thick cold drinks from fresh fruits and vegetables. Maybe the place was called Jamba Juice. I can't fucking check because of the fucking Windows Vista. Fuck.

Anyway, Janne had to go to the Guitar World interview and we were left alone in the big city. We decided to act like tourists and walked to Empire state Building and went up even though the $20 price felt a bit high. Well, it's only like $0,05 per metre. They take picture of every entering person in front of a green background and later add a night photo of the building to it. We went there all four together. When we were leaving we checked the photo and we actually decided to buy that since the picture was so good that we even decided to form a new band because we already had our first promo picture! That band has two drummers
and no guitarist. It will probably be better than most bands just because of that.

The venue was called Blender Theater. Why do the Americans always misspell the word "theatre"? Anyway, one of the nicest venues except that still no shower. After the show I washed my hair in the sink and actually I washed myself entirely in the sink. That worked pretty well although the floor was a bit wet after that. Build yourself a shower and it won't happen again. The show itself was a blast. We're tighter show by show. We were in New York City so did a bit of Kiss as well... The venue had signs "Moshing & crowdsurfing are prohibited" which really didn't stop the audience. There was a huge moshpit and even some crowdsurfing. Good show. Two kids from Vesilahti playing in New York City.

17.45 in Cleveland. Masa, Juho and myself just returned from the city. It's a couple of kilometres away but worth going. We went to Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame & Museum and for example bought Cane a gift since it's his birthday today. The man is sixteen. Again. We brought him a guitar puzzle. Maybe 50 pieces so I think he can manage that.

Today's venue is again a shit hole. Peabody's. No showers but we're taking a hotel room so that everyone can take a shower if they want. I guess I'll survive this tour after all.
