Gay bar etc.

December 5, in a bus outside of Rios, Leeds waiting for load in time. Yesterday definitely was a good day. The show was really good. I have to admit that we haven't really been rotating all three sets. I think we did pink set only twice until it was dropped because Jonne got some throat problems and the "drum set" can only be done at the venues where there is enough room on stage for that.

Anyway, yesterday was good. I think all bands got quite good response. The place was not even nearly full, but since it is in two levels it seemed like a full venue because the upstairs was closed. Each did also a photoshoot before their shows. Someone said something about Metal Hammer but I doubt that. I think the guy was lacking a bit on the professional side.

The venue didn't lack anything though. Everything was perfect. Every dressing room that had vegetarians coming had even vegetarian sandwiches in the fridge. We had everything that is on the rider and even some extra stuff. Really nice. I'll gladly play there again.

The bus call was at 2 but the venue had to be empty by 1 so we had to spend an hour somewhere. We naturally chose the closest thing that was still open. A gay bar. They were really friendly to us and they sold cider. Suits me.

Rios, Leeds at 17. we just returned from the signing session at the local record store. I wouldn't say it was a huge success but it wasn't a spinaltapish failure either. Ok, I'd say and the people were at least nice.
