After a quick sleep and filling up on a huge amount of eggs and bacon and some belgium chocolate we repacked the van and set off to venue for a early set up. Coming in to the town it was nice to see something different to long roads and empty fields, we stopped off to get some petrol as we went in to the town and look what i found in the fridge, i was so happy, it was like drinking a fluffy heaven cloud .

The town ended up being prity much deserted accept one square were people all eat at the same time in the same sequence. The venue was skinny but it had so many upsides like the lighting was perfect, the people were awesome and the sound was spot on, after getting the crowd impatient the guys set to stage and started what was going to be one of the longest sets they have ever done, with no support band the guys ended up playing prity much every song they could, the atmosphere was great it was like a house party off some american film were everything looks ridiculously fun.

After playing on the toilet, in the crowd and nude the guys set come to a end but the audience wanted more so what else could they play?… a voice from a crack in the floor next to the bar whispers Limp Bizkit tin.

Ok

words cant describe how heavy and good this was, with friends joining in the singing and everyone going mad it was a perfect end to a sick tour.

After the gig, we all went outside and as are eyes burnt from not expecting it to be light outside we packed up and shot off to make the train back to england .

We had to wait a while for are train so we took out the skateboard and hit the carpark while the others talk over the adventure.

Passport control = Lame

Iv told you all before about the new line being themed on Alice In Wonderland, so when these shots of the new Tim Burton remake come up i was real happy to see he hasn’t messed things up to much, so far everything looks prity awesome all accept some disturbing cat but im not sure if that real or not.

I love this scene so far, the flowers look awesome!

After everyone waking up and me and joel telling the stories of the previous night, we hit the road to catch some snacks at a service station for breakfast. O my why do they love sausages so much here, they come in small chocolate size pack its strange, but they do give them some awesome names like baboom and titan.

After a long long journey to germany Summer Blast Fest full of sugary sweets, films and sing-alongs we all stumbled out of the van to stretch the legs and check out the venue. This place was awesome, i never found out the real story of the place but i made my own.

This german mansion was once a family heirloom passed down for centuries to family members who lived a life of luxury, with servants and anything you could ever want. But after a small riot/invasion the family was mostly killed or escape and abandoned the home which then was used for holding goods and as a base camp. After a few years everyone returned home and the house was left alone were some adventure boys with spray cans and skateboards made the mansion in to a playhouse, this then went on to become this strange venue for festivals, basket ball games and big parties.

After catching up with some friends we haven’t seen in a good while, it was time to unload the equipment and grab a bite from the kitchen, before the guys had to get ready to play.

There was a main stage outside and a underground stage both sporting some awesome bands.

The guys did a really good set and the german’s seemed to know prity much ever word, after packing the stuff back up we quickly caught a drink and had a chat with some new friends. Next was to catch the other guys playing, your demise was next on the list the architects and then horse the band.

The whole day was awesome, speaking to lots of people and just having a laugh while watching some awesome bands, we had to set off as the night was ending to make it to belgium for a nights rest and another gig tomorrow.

With the days being blurred in to one it was time to try and revive the body , we stayed at this awesome 3 story house with metal shutters like the rest of the homes, it still confuses me why. The mum of the house cooked me a real nice omelet to give me some energy for the day ahead. zzZ

The teoat guys asked me if i would join them for there trip through europe for a few days, so i packed up the camera, sketch pads and set off to meet them for a gig at the ulu were they played a set and we packed on an set off in the van. The van was prity snazzy, with leather seats, tv screens and playstations we all snacked on sweets and caught up.

After getting tooth ache from all the sweets we were at the euro train. Iv never been on the euro train before but i can tell you its bloody strange, your ears pop and your van bounces around and there miniature windows that you can see nothing out of. But the one good thing was that you can walk up and down if you wish and i ended up bumping in to these guys who were off to a car show in germany, there beetle was spotless and had some awesome lilies going through the car and in the engine with some mad story of a some girl tattooing the car or the graphics i cant remember but it was cool.

We set off from the other end of the tunnel to a house in belgium, it was a long journey and by the time we got there prity much everyone couldn’t even open there eyes but i got an awesome idea while nosing around the garden and made joel stay up and go on a adventure on the push bikes around the empty belgium streets.

My ride for the night, i wonder if they will ever notice the suffoca sticker on there bike.

We ended up seeing some real strange stuff, the buildings all seem to have shop shutters and its cleaner then an apple shop, it was a bit freaky to be honest. But then we found some sleeping cows which i found fascinating, also some sheep and a horse which was real happy to see us, but they all spoke a different language so it was hard communicating. I also found some awesome garden ornaments which looked just like the wood characters out of alice in wonderland, joel wouldn’t let me take one.

After going down every street and road we could see we headed back and we bumped in to a few people as it was basically the morning, a hairy old skol rocker man who said something which im sure was along of the lines of come in for breakfast my world travelers but we said no thanks and carryed on. We got back and found a small push engine bike and couldn’t resist a quick play

It was time to wake the guys up and head off to germany for the festival which will be in the next blog.

O yea i also saw a man which a cartoon face who nearly ran over paul because of his tired walk to the car, he was amazing and i was a little annoyed i missed that photo opportunity.
