Weiner, Austria
Pj cooked crazy beans for breakfast/lunch today. This was accompanied by roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli and Tofu and It.was.awesome. If you plan on touring, bring someone like PJ, who likes cooking and eating, it will make everything better, I promise. I have dodged so many meals from gas stations because of PJ and I cannot thank him and his appetite enough. The venue was just right, with great sound, a small stage and monitors, making playing easy and fun. We switched the set up tonight because it was clear that people at the show had been to multiple shows in Austria, which was, to me, incredible considering we have never played here. I don't want to leave, I like it here and everyone has been so awesome to us. I can't wait to come back and tour here again. Tomorrow we have a long drive and a gig in Germany on the same day that Germany will either progress to the next round of the world cup, or bomb out of it completely. This could go either way.

Near Stuttgart, Germany
As soon as we arrived we were offered food and mohitos and the uncertainty of the show and how it might pan out faded quickly. The house was busy and everyone seemed excited about seeing us play that night. Germany won the football so spirits were high. The venue was tiny and busy and despite sweating the most I have on tour just watching imadethismistake, the show was awesome fun. Uli and everyone involved in the show were awesome and I cannot thank them all enough for ensuring that our bellies were always full and our beers were always topped up. As this show was their first show and was basically just a favour to us as we had nothing booked in the cities that day, we were all apprehensive that playing a tiny town with someone who doesn't often do shows might be a big disappointment and somewhat awkward. Thankfully, we could not have been more wrong.
