After the first night in my bunk (sitated on top bunk above JP - the roadie), I started the morning by brushing my teeth on the parking lot. Liverpool outside was windy and gray.
There were a MacDonalds nearby, so that was the place for our morning coffee and maybe some breakfast. It appeared that MD had free internet, so we establisehd our little office there with Eddie and Matias, the bus driver from Germany. JP, Gudmar and Magnus went to give their appreciation to Liverpool FB and to see their stadium.
Today we were heading for Leeds and Carpe Diem rock club. So we got off to Leeds and jej, we got power (electricity on) :D
Matias stopped the bus at a service place, for us to take a shower. There were no shower for women, so I used to dry shower/wash up at the handicapped toilet. As fresh as after a shower :D
We were talking with Mikkjal that I think it is great that they do not treat me any special, so I have a "one of the gang" -feeling. I appreaciate the trust they have.
The SIC gig ruled, as always. The crowd was a bit hard to melt but in the end there were boys headbanging. It is bound to happen with SIC. They are so energetic and their music comes from the heart. Thay have something to say. And I said, that al the rest of tht evenings bands were like limp noodles in comparison to SIC.
After the gig it was time to hang out with the local metalheads. I went to The Fab bar with Mikkjal and Frans. The rest wanted to check out what other things the nightime Leed have to offer a bunch of guys on the road. The Fab was a bar that were decorated with movie/ comics merchandice. This is England and it sure feels like a totally different planet, a different ballgame indeed.
In the night some thoughts about how women behave, when they meet someone that are in a band. Me, who mostly have hanged out with boys, have a little hard time to grasp the behaviour of being a female. But the guys seem to like that... Well, I rather not be like that. Men are men and they do like to talk about women and appreciate their beauty ;D
Me and Frans went back to the bus, while others still enjoyed of what a nightly Leeds had to offer a bunch of guys on tour: a sweet sight for sore eyes.
I had a surprise on my bed. Magus had bought me food, a Subway sandwich and I ate it in the mobile phone light. Frans were doing the honour of being my light at that moment.
At 2 am it was time to go to my bunk. It was a great first proper day on this tour.
