31.08.2007 First Feelings.
After sleepless night and many hours travel we finally arrived to Germany. Now we are on the way to the first venue. The bus is really comfortable! I was afraid what kind of "thing" we would have to live in next two weeks but it seems we are going to have very nice time. Fingers crossed :) Check out few pictures from the first feelings!
Over and out!

What a mess. The first day is allways mess but yesterday was something more. Obviously we don't have any soundchecks on this tour just only 15 minute changeover after the first band. The yesterday's gig at Reichenbach was anyway pretty good one. We just went to the stage and ripped on. Now we have arrived to Helmond, Netherlands. Today's a same mess but we are ready for it, punkrock attitude! Let's see what happens!
Time to load the stuff in.

This is it! Tour is over!! I have to say it so! ... No, just kidding :P. Tour is continuing, but today was and is great day, my (and Jani's) lucky day. I bought new playing cards and it is time to take money out from Jarno, so we have something interesting to do in here in the bus. I dont know about you but I like money so much. Specially for easy money ;). I like also some other things like sex, cats, Ozzy, Antonys tattoos, icehockey, sex, win money from Jarno "the Moneymaker", calling to airport for missing luggages etc...

Tour continues. Yesterday we had a big partee so now the feelings are guite hangovered. The show was ok, we played better than day before and that's allways good for sure! It's easy to do the shows without any soundchecks... hahaha! Never. That's the way we do it so crying here doesn't help anything :) The guys have played cards for two days now, I think Jani has won most and Jarno has lost most... about few hundred euros or more. I tried to play some aswell but I end up losing money...

Tour of Cards and Money is coming on his 5. gig. Weather is shit like always in the Finland, but even here. I cant believe it. Some greater force is punishing us but I have revenge it to Jarno. I take all the money from him on this tour and live next month on very rich life. I have noticed one more thing from the guys: I think they are gays, all of them! I´m not sure about Jani but... I feel afraid in here and I´m serious in this.. How can I rest on the nights when I´m surrounded by the boys! They just have to keep hands off from every straight guy. Yesterdays gig was fantastic and tonight will be also. Hope that tuesday in Ascheffenburg would bring us lots of heavymetal fans and they buy hudred thousand of our t-shirts so we can earn more than 25€ for this music per month. Then I can call to Kela that: -Fuck you and keep your asumistuki!!

Greetings from Nurnberg!! Yesterdays gig was great in Hamburg. There was a 80 ppl in the big hall and 7 ppl at the front line. Little bit same that in Turku. So maybe Hamburg is Germans Turku! But I won some tens from the guys on the cards. Today I hope it will be better. Yes, of course I mean in the card game. It is Friday and I have to be more lucky. We have had great time with each others. Just talks about pussy and wanking. Normal boys stuff. No sports talks because anyone of those doesn´t understand anything about sport. Only sport they understand is wanking and porn. but I´m so fucking cool guy because I like sport. Yes.. and Jarno is cool too, because he has lots of money ;). Yes and word about music things: I change my strings yesterday. On the bass... Take care and be there and have lots of sex and sport!!

Another day in Germany and another day in wine haze. It's been quite okay tour... It's been fun to see new places and meet new and great persons from these other bands. Tomorrow is a new day and it's great to see Prague first time... I'm really waiting for tomorrow. But now I will live in this day and taste some good German white wine and fly to happy happy land. Cheers and rock off!

Hello boys & girls! In saarbrucken we are and two days off behind. Lyon was cancelled because of bad presales. So we were in Nurnberg for 2 days just hangin. We played monopoly on a laptop and we got very bored on those two days... and one more thing on the tour... In the morning I woke up I felt so tired and my eyes hurt, my head hurts, every place was hurting!! I have fever and it's fucking horrible. 3 gigs left and I just hope that painkiller will help me. Actually Antony has little flu on too and Jani had flu early days here... I thought before the tour that here is still summer going but everyday has been colder that in Finland ever. Budapest was only place for sun :).
Otherwise time in here has been wonderful! Big cities for the guys from Suolahti. It has to be cultural shock for everyone of us. But no! It has been shock for Antony because he hates everything. Only place is airport he doesn't hate. I mean airport airport at the time when we are going back to home ;). Today we have a great venue but small stage so not so much space to run. Better for me and my fever head.

Tour's last gig is soon. I feel bit sad because it will end tonite. I would love to be on the road longer :) On the other hand it's nice to go home and have some rest. Living on the road is quite hard... but it is worth it! Hellyeah! It's been great tour. No bigger problems at all... so far... ;) And all the other band mates are really great. Especially Serenity guys because we share the bus with them. But lets have big partee tonight! We'll add some cool pics after we are at home.

World end is near, so is the tour! How do u feel there for that? I just feel tired right now. Fever has gone and life is great, for someones. Antony got flu and Jarno & Jani lost some for me and Antony. I think the last gig is coming on schedule. Great countries is more than you can ever imagine and we have now basic skills on german language. but languages has little differences. Like our Sound Man Teijo said that: "-When german peoples talk it sounds always like on some war or porn movie but for example when french people talking and even they speaks ugly and dirty they allways sounds romantic and sexy!!" Most truth! But time for last meal in the tour. So have a fun and be careful with strangers!
