Showday 24: Hamburg

Today was not my day, maybe because of the lack of sleep… It already started with an argument about merch fees because of the location of our booth. It was ridiculous, and I told them that.

I had zero tolerance today, and it definitely showed. The venue staff didn’t make things easier either, they told us to move our stall 30 minutes before showtime. I told them no. They’d seen us setting up all day and said nothing, so I was angry… and they could feel it.

Being in Germany is great for sales, but it can also be really tiring, germans can be very particular sometimes.

At the end of the night, we had a disco load-out, so we had to disappoint customers. Chloé and I tried to keep it together while counting all the stock, surrounded by 700 people asking questions and wondering why we closed. It wasn’t our decision — when the venue books another act right after us, we get kicked out fast. I was spitting fire at that point.

Anyway, I was just really on edge today. We even forgot three boxes in the trailer, something that hasn’t happened the entire tour so far. We both felt a bit lost. I’m just happy the day is over, especially with tomorrow being such an important show — both personally and work-wise: Copenhagen.

The good thing? The food was the best we’ve had all tour! The amazing Jens — who also cooks for Heilung when we’re in Germany — made delicious beef and salmon with potato pancakes. Yummy!Read more
