Showday Milano

Today was set to be a challenging day for merchandise — not because of selling, but because it’s the end of the tour and there hadn’t been much proper planning around what to do with all the leftover merch.

Over the past few days, I tried to bring some organisation into it, since Chris had recently given me this new role. But because everything was so last minute, most of the real planning had to happen today.

We had the most crazy and inconvenient backstage ever, but what to expect we are ins Italy.

I also got the opportunity to go back on stage! The group really wanted to showcase the "wounded warrior" image. I'm walking better now and feeling less pain. I only joined for a few selected songs, and I had the freedom to decide at any moment if I wanted to step out — everyone made sure there was no pressure on me.

As warriors, we also joined Eivør on stage. That was super fun and also special to end years of touring together this way.

Kai created a beautiful piece of robe work for my leg to both support it and enhance the wounded warrior look. I absolutely loved it — especially during "Hammer Hippyer," where I mostly twerked and got to be more present and expressive in a different way than usual. It was a lot of fun!

After the show came the stressful merch packing. Thankfully, everyone pitched in, but it was still hectic and uncertain. Gerrity and Yuri hadn’t been able to start packing the 130 boxes earlier because the truck wasn’t accessible, so everything had to be rushed before bus call.

And of course, with the tour ending, it was time to say goodbye to everyone.Read more
