Day 28,
woke up in Gottingen, walked over back to the venue for breakfast. we had some super awesome vegan b.l.t.z. shit was dope, as usual.
we said our goodbyes to the awesome kids from the venue, jumped into the van, and headed towards Wiesbaden, Germany. the drive was the usual 3-ish awesome hours. on the way, we stopped at some rando rest stop to roll the dice...
...in the end, Wes came up like 10 Euro er something. homeboy had some hot hands.
we got to Wiesbaden kinda early and had some time to kill, so we took a stroll down to the city's center and checked out its assorted, mass amounts of shit shops...
...i found a shop full of postcards...i (again) thought about buying and sending one to Jessika...but then realized that i would rather spend my money on gambling later.
after a while, and being mislead by a shop's "hip hop summer special" (it suxd, like, real bad) and Steven buying a "falafel" from some phony-ass place called "Falafel City" or someshit like that (its like, back home, you would never get food at "Burrito Town" right?) ...we got back to the venue.
we hung out with the Kontrapunkt guys back at the venue. and met Flo, who was an awesome kid and putting on the show. after a while, they served up dinner. it looked like this...
...those stuffed tomatoes were pretty ill.
after dinner, Wes and I started to roll the dice...but only with small change (like centz n shit). but soon after, Juan joined, then Felix, then we caught the attention of the Kontrapunkt guys...
...and those Kontrapunkt guys got hooked fast i think. got bit by the bug...that fast cash/clackity-clackity-clack/hot handz/rollin deep/1-2-3 bug. i think in the end, Wes won the largest pull (AGAIN. motha fucka was really on a tight roll).
anyways, we stopped cause the show began. the first band (person) was this kid doing electronic/noise stuff. it was just him on a mic and a CD full of beats n shit. it was cool. after that, Mind Trap played and were rad. really chaotic stuff, very tech. and then Kontrapunkt played after that. their bass player had a broken wrist, but dude didnt give a fuuuuuck. still played and still ruled. and after that Trainwreck played (oh yeah, didnt mention that they were at the show too! met back up with these dudes today [well, not all of them, cause Martin was too sick to come]). they played and were really good...very much killed it. we played after that. shit was cool. there was much beer spillage, kids on inflatable boogie-boards, inflatable beach balls, n crowd surfz. it was fun.
a good amount of kids drove out to this show too. a bunch of people we met on pervious days of the tour.
after all of the bands played, us, Kontrapunkt, and the T-wrecks kicked it hard at the venue (we were all sleeping there too)...and after a few minutes (and a few dranken beerz)...we broke out the tables, chairs, and shit was on...
...shit was rough this time around for 'ol-big-Kenster...i think i lost like 8-10 Euro. i think Steven lost almost the same. Juan came up a hard 20+ Euro at the end. i know Jack did super well too (homeboy was a cold-starter at first though, but pulled through for his pocket in the end). team Maria and Felix did RIDICULOUSLY well. i think they came up the hardest together. and Winkie was rolling some IMPOSSIBLE rolls. that dude was way lucky...and Wes...damn...Wes was cold as ice. (hah...i think he lost most of his winnings from all day on these rollz...but ya know, datz just what happens when u roll the dice. can't always stay up...but u gotta keep playin!).
after alllllll of that, we set up our beds, sleeping bags and i crashed out. i know some of the kids stayed up in the other room hanging and drinking. i was just too damn tired already to rage. bummerz. overall, second-to-last day, very good.
"siq shit" i'm kinda buzzed, it's all because:
1. the poster we modified for today's show...
2. this dude (that probably shouldn't be) hanging out with these (probably bummed out) kids...
3. these soccer-goal urinals...
4. all the ridiculous "happy birthday America" jokes that came out of our mouths today.
5. all the dice rolling that went on today...and running into the Kontrapunkt guys all day and having them be like..."uhhhh, we are still rolling the dice later right???"...hah! (hooked by the rush!)
