23:30-07:18
But now. We got back in, to party in the after party! But it closed at 12 or 1 oclock >_< So we went back to the little towns station and walked around, looking for a hotel. But there werent any at all! So we got a bus (full of noisy metalheads, :D lol) back to Osnabrück. There we walked around from 1 am to 4-5 am, I cant really remember. It was very cold and rainy, it was.. an experience.
All the hotels were full, or we were too late. We walked some streets four times or so and ..saw the whole bloody city! In the end, we found shelter in a bus stop.
We waited for the night bus and went to the station, where we tried to sleep (we had to wait for the train at 07:18 am, to Oberhausen) among the scum, ..they really were! Heheh. And some kids with beer, yay.. But of course, it was way too cold and we got (again
) nervous cos of all the other people. At 06:30 the sandwich shop opened tho :D and everybody went to get a sandwich. So did we (and coffee, aargl) and we took the train later, saw the Ruhrgebied (yay, industry..) and got to Oberhausen!!
07:18-18:30
Oberhausen was
grey also, blegh d: Our mission was to find the music halls first, we couldnt stand the chance of being late on this gig..! And we found the street that we had to walk aaaaaall way to the north (40 mins or so) and you may guess what happened.
Exactly, we headed south. STUPID! Argh! But in the end we found it, and had lunch, went to all the cafes in the north we could find (three)(others: closed, whatever) anddd went back to the halls! There we stood, finally, amongst the big metal crowd
WE HAD MADE IT! HELL YEAH! Cold, filthy, but hell yeah, we were there!
18:30-00:30
The gig. The beer was pretty expensive, three euros per plastic cup :/ But we had enough beer and vodka already, so heheh..Hatesphere was funny, one guitarist was headbanging really cool. Ektomorf was a sort of ..Soulfly, but also pretty funny..
And then DARK TRANQUILLITY! OMG YES :D
Can you imagine how happy we were to see them?
Well, we wouldve been anyway of course
Mikael jumping up and down, the band moving along the stage, the crowd all excited and euphoric, it was fcking great :) They played a lot of new songs, but also great 'older' ones as White noise/black silence' Wow. Wow. Wow.
I loved it. I really did.
I had been 'waiting' since the 15th of Novembre for another gig of DT and here it was,
It was worth walking around Osnabrück all night for
Haaaaaaaaa
Later Kreator got there, but hah, we had seen them on Saturday
Nah, not really, but it is not really our thing anyway. Its a really German band btw.. (But nice, yes okay)
It was fun to be the only Dutch ones around there too btw (well, we think we were).
And at 22:30 we celebrated we had been awake for longer then 48 hours :D heh
What things we do for Dark Tranquillity eh? Hehe. Well we shouldve found an hotel
(And DT shouldve been touring more and not go to the Netherlands on a Friday but okay
)
Yeah, we went to the afterparty, talked to band, had a great time..
But they close the pubs in Germany at 12-1 oclock, how much does that suck?
So there we were again. On the streets
