Day 19,

today was our trip back to Germany. we were going to the city of Nurnberg. we woke up in Linz, Austria, had a nice breakfast, got into the vans and headed off. i remember we were listening to Saves the Day for a while...that was a good time. at some point in our drive, as we had recently got into Germany, we got pulled over by Zoll (the German customs police...same shit bagz that took our shirts). goddammit, i think we were in Bavaria. anyways, they asked for our passports and did a small search of the van. we joked around about how when they came out of their car once we were pulled over, the two Zoll police would be wearing the Comadre tour shirts. hah. piecez of shit.

after that we pulled over at some rando rest stop cause Boss had to call German customs (again) because apparently Murder by Death (who Boss is driving next) got all of their merch seized by Zoll too. (note to self: apparently German customs don't like sketchy-looking packages. weird). so while he did that, we were just outside walking around and then at some point Steven saw a light-post and said "Wes, climb that right now"...and then he just did...and then we all just did...


...there's Jack. it was a siq workout.

a few hours later we got to the rad venue (which we also played last year). good shit. looked like this...


and upstairs they had set up some "snacks" for us to hold us off till dinner. it was ridiculous...just like hella fuckin food (and it wasn't even dinner!!!)...


i made me a siq-ass sandwich...


...booya! cute as hell.

after that, we had a few hours before the show started cause today was also the Euro-cup semifinals and Germany was playing against Turkey...and we were in Germany...so the kids wanted to start the show after the soccer game. in the meantime, i went to some rando cafe and stole their wireless and drank beer outside (love Europe and your amazing drinking lawz!).

we had dinner after that i think. and that ruuuuuuled (i remember last year when we were here, we had one of the BEST meals eeeeever). and it was the same person who cooked us food this year too! she RULES.


...yeah dude. just straight vegan-deliciousness.

before Trainwreck went out, me, Juan, Wes, and a few of the T-wrecks found some rando-ass bar thing where they were playing the soccer game. we chilled it hard and got friendly with the locals...


Germany won. and it got fuckin stupid crazy outside (as you will see later).

so anyways, Trainwreck played and were awesome as shit. when we played, we had a special surprise visit from Drunk-bot. it was amazing. i think the kids really liked him and got along well with him. and dont worry, he was well fed (and kept alive) during his siq mosh-down.

after the show, we just hung around and chilled. we got some awesome falafels and as we were loading the vans outside, we almost got in our first ever co-band-street-fight!!! there were like tons (and i mean TONS) of shitty drunken bro-dawgs outside walking around all night. and at some point, a group of these broz came up and were talking a bunch of shit and upset the T-wrecks, then they talked back, and shit got all hot and there was a bunch of yelling and screaming at each other. (fuckin real soccer-hoolagins-style and shit). they pulled off the "you're lucky my gf is holding me back" move quite well. hah. one of them was in like full German-flag-color face paint and one of them was wearing a straight up white Kango hat (might as well have had a "hello, my name is douchbag" sticker pinned to his shirt). anyways, our "altercation" looked like this...



...but yeah, nothing bloody nor bruisey ended up happening. bummer :( after that, we headed off to our buddy Andy's siq pad and went to sleep bummed. (like you know, when you almost get in a fight, but you dont cause you're probably too much of a wiener to do anything anyways, then after it's all over, all you do is talk about it and are like "fuck, i woulda kicked that dude's ass too", all tough and shit...yeah, i think that's how we all felt). hah.

"siq shit" top 5:
1.
...apparently there were a few people pissed about their 500euro guarantee.
2. Wes catching a grape in his mouth that i threw out a window from 4 stories down.
3. Drunk-bot crowd surfing during our set.
4. "well, at least they didn't find the weed" - Jack Shirlz says as soon as Boos comes back into the van from after being hassled by the Zoll.
5. this AMAZING drawing i was sent by our friend Mima from Linz (where Euro Drunk-bot was born)...
