Showday 1: Gent

We left Chloé’s parents’ place around 8, so we’d be ready in Apeldoorn by 9. Packed a few last things and waited for Danny to pick us up with the merch. But first, we had to park the car somewhere.

On the way to Gent we hit some traffic, so we arrived an hour later than planned. We immediately started the load-out—didn’t even have time to say hi to everyone.

Danny and I had about 20 minutes to prepare some files before he had to leave. His drive back was hell, with tons of traffic.

First, we counted in some merch from Ásgeir, then got ready for set-up.

Sales were good! After a quick pack-down we had to do the horrible, complicated border-crossing accounting. That took me 2 hours, so no sleep until 3 a.m. passport/security check at the UK border.

We missed our 4 a.m. ferry, so I grabbed an hour of sleep before boarding. Slept 1.5 hours on the ferry, and then we had to go through the border crossing with our papers. Luckily, nothing was asked, so no taxes paid!

Finally, around 8 a.m., I could actually call it a night and catch a few more hours of sleep.

What a rough start to the tour!Читать далее
