Showday: Lucerno

Since the border was only 2.5 hours away, Emily, Katrine, and I decided to push through. Unfortunately, we left a bit late and didn’t arrive until around 4 a.m. In hindsight, it worked out because I was struggling to finish the restock admin—Excel isn’t my strong suit, so it took me longer than expected.

Thankfully, I managed to get the border files ready on time for tax declarations. When we arrived, it was smooth—once again, no one asked about the merch, so no taxes to pay! At least we had a bit of time to do some bus yoga

I was absolutely exhausted and ended up oversleeping, waking up in shock at 2:45 p.m.—two hours late to start the day. Wouter didn’t wake me, figuring that after the heavy day in Lyon, sleep was more important.

Luckily, I felt much better after the extra rest, but now I had to rush the setup. The first space they gave us was way too small, but like at some other venues, they quickly realized how much merch we had and moved us to the mini stage. Kind of fun having our own 'merch gig' tonight! It was a bit high up for shorter people, but we made it work, and with some clever signage, we set up nicely.

Despite the stress, we managed to finish converting prices just five minutes before doors opened—and we had a great sales day!

Oh, and I almost forgot—I found these 'My Name Is' stickers in London but totally forgot about them until today! So we had some fun swapping names. Despite the chaos, it definitely lightened the mood and gave us all a good laugh.Read more
