Two more days until I leave for Noch Ein Bier! I really can’t wait at this moment, and I really try to get things ready a few days ahead. As usual, I never really pull through with my plans. Gladly, I’m not supposed to bring a lot, so it will be fairly easy to pack tomorrow seeing I have already gathered most of the things. The biggest issue I think is to figure out what to bring for the “free” day, when we aren’t doing anything special. I’m starting to figure out what could be cool, but it’s still a bit hard. But, what can you do? I have a few other ideas for things I need to bring for a small secret project, and I might, MIGHT tell you about it later. Now, I have to ditch. Because I need to try getting some of this together. // Sara

Okay, so I learned yesterday that apparently, Bloodbound are also going to play at Noch Ein Bier along Korpiklaani, Civil War, Powerwolf and Sabaton. It was already a perfect line up before, and then they add ANOTHER really good band?

It’s like absolutely nothing can go wrong with this fest. Absolutely nothing. Long day, but it will be with not one, not two, not three but FIVE amazing bands. I was so sad when they were gonna play in Luxemburg but not on the actual Noch Ein Bier, but apparently they’ve been added? Amazing.

So, the day started early. Like, at 7am. Snoozing ’til 8. Packing like manaiacs, tearing down the tent and hitting the car and getting out on the road to get to Skavsta airport. It was an interesting ride, especially at that point where we took the wrong way and ended up going THROUGH Stockholm rather than just pass it by.

But, we eventually made it there with a lot of time to spare, dropping Antoine off for this time and then I found myself the nearest gas-station to refill the car, buy a drinkyoghurt, go to ICA and pick up crisp and then started on what came to feel like the longest drive home ever.

I was more tired than I ever thought I was, and I had to stop twice in order to catch some fresh air and rest for a bit to avoid falling asleep. And when I finally made it home I more or less crashed in bed and stayed there for a while.

Thank you all, who were involved in the festival and thank you for making what it was! Maybe, just maybe, I will see you next year!

Today, on the other hand unlike the other days, has been rather eventful actually. We started the day with going to the Brigadmuseum, our military history museum in order to, well, check it out and learn more. It was cool, and somewhat authenthic the way they had designed the museum. Afterwards we stopped by the tankpark to climb on the tanks.

Ahh, the view from a tank.

After this, we spent some time at the coffeshop before heading down to Ostindiefararen Götheborg and doing our possibly first visit ever on an actual woodenship.

It was a pretty nice experience, being on a ship and really take a CLOSE look on it.

When we came home, my mother surprised me with a Vixen vinyl. Thank you! Been looking for this forever.

“Rev it Up” is really perfect in every sense possible.

Today has been a slow, slow, SLOW day. We finally purchased the tickets for Väsby Rock Festival (no need to mention how late we are), bought some stuff off IKEA that are needed for the trip and later on we took a trip downtown to catch a glimpse of the Götheborg ship that are currently in town. Didn’t stay for long though.

It’s getting closer and closer to departure for Väsby, and as usual, I’m of course late as FUCK with packing. I should start with it now. But we all know I’m just gonna stay here and play The Sims.

I’ve finally changed career for Anna, by the way, however, I continued in the same area she’s in right now, which is astronaut. I plan to make her the new super-sim, to have all the skills and everything, so I’m excited to get started on all the jobs because it will help A LOT.

I’ve also decided to do all careers with her, and I figured I’d do all the careers inbetween the “fun” careers. So yeah, for now, “boring” careers, later on, fun.

Our original plans fell through, so we set up to do a spontaneous barbecue up in the woods. In the trail where I go walking every day, there’s a fireplace made for barbecueing, so time it was.

We kinda had to stop fairly soon because of the mosquito invasion. It was already a few thousands of them when we started, but the more the night progress, the more they became and eventually we decided to go back home and cook the last food at home.

Spent the evening at Jennie’s with her and Jonny, playing Katherine and talking and joking about everything and nothing.

The week is progressing pretty good, I must say.

So, like I said yesterday. Today we planned to go see Jennie and play some games.

We started off the evening with a smaller barbecue at her mothers place, and later going inside to play som games. First hour were spent watching Jennie play Katherine again, seriously, what is that game!? Bites me, you know. Fucking hell. We all just sat there and were like GO THAT WAY THAT WAY WHAT THE HECK.

After a while, we started playing on our own. For difference sake, I actually played Rock Tour today instead of The Sims and so did Antoine. God. I do love Rock Tour, but it’s so fucking slow at times you know. So fucking slow at practicing their skills and writing good songs… kills me you know.

I tried to install Rock Manager, but my computer is too new. I guess that is what I get from buying old games at thrift stores, huh?

Spent most of the days lazily lying in bed and taking a bit of a road trip to Jennie’s. Spent most of the day there talking about everything and nothing, randomly hanging out until the sun came down. We started out with watching movies together, “Rock n Roll High School” to be more precise, and later on we spent some time playing games on the computers.

It was a chill but fun day, with a lot of laughters and a lot of Neo-petting going on, so much we are planning it to do all over again tomorrow.

And I’m gonna have nightmares from that horrific Katherine game Jennie is playing.

Spent most of the day walking around the neighbourhood and discussing music. It sure is a good thing to have other music interested people around, that way you never run out of subjects.

The next week will be interesting. First of all, we’re gonna spend some time with Jennie and others, seeing the pirateship and going to Väsby. It’s gonna be soooo good to see Danger Danger again, even though it’s “just” a year ago I saw them. Really can’t get enough of that band. Jesus christ.
