Thurday, 31st March
The show last night was great, even though not too many people attended it.
All 4 bands shred the place, with Eternal Hated performing a tight set consisting of old and new songs. I dare to say that the new songs kick asses hard. Think sth between Converge, Coalesce and Most Precious Blood...
So, we left the club at around 1 o'clock and with the help of some friends we transferred all our stuff to my house, where, after preparing our baggage, we rest for a while. We took the night but to the airport at 2.15 and we checked in 1 hour later. As you can imagine, we were definitely tired and sleepless... In addition to this my back was fucking fucking hurting me. Nevertheless, our flight from Athens to Amsterdam left at 5 o'clock in the morning and we landed in Amsterdam after 3,5 hours. To be honest, I don't remember anything from the flight, since I was sleeping the whole time. 4/5 of us didn't even get the snack the airline offer. Jackass.
Our continue flight from Amsterdam to Dusseldorf was about to leave after 4 hours, so we spent our time reading fanzines / books and sleeping in the muthafucking chairs in front of the gate. I almost get depressed by what I was reading (essays about feminism, sexism, rape etc.)...
We landed in Dusseldorf after a half an hour flight. Gerrit from Strength, who is our host, was waiting for us, along with his little child and a greek guy called Kostas. We drove straight to Herten, a small place located in Ruhrportt area, near Recklinghausen, where tomorrow's show is gonna take place. Gerrit's woman, Ann, was waiting for us along with their 2 dogs, 3 rabbits and a wayyy too big black cat...! Their house is fucking huge, including Strength's rehearsal studio in the basement, and a skate ramp in the backyard...!!!
After having some rest, we drove to Dortmund, which is located 30km away from Herten. There we had some amazing (and extremely spicy) vegan arabic pies, and afterwards Nick & me had vegan cakes in a great shop called Cakes 'n' Treats, you should visit it while in Dortmund...
Afterwards, I learned that we went to Bochum, where Thanos abused a drum kit inside a drum store. I dunno, me & the rest of the guys were sleeping in the van...
We are in Gerrit's house now, surfin' in the net... It's around 19.00 and we still feel tired.

P.S. Do you know that urban legend stating that rabbits are never left in the ground, because if rats come, rabbits will make sex with them? Well, we didn't until Stelios informed us today... Watch out, lock your rabbits or your rats in a safe place, don't let them fuck each other, it's dangerous.
