So today was my Dad’s first official day on tour as the new tour manager. He is already a master of the Autobahn, and we got our Hyundai up to 180km/hr, which is pretty much all it’s got. This is a direct quote from the mouth of my dad “Why are you slowing down you pussies?? What’s the story?”. Awesome.

Eating while drving a stickshift at 160km/h on the autobahn. Go Dad.

It was rainy and dreary all day so we didn’t get to do much sight seeing in Zwickau unfortunately. And I had mixed up the soundcheck time so I ended up being completely rushed to get to the gig at Alter Gasometer (www.alter-gasometer.de), and ended up putting on my tights backwards and wearing them that way all night. But everything worked out, and I loooved the venue. It was a music venue (not a bar), and people actually purchased tickets (some in advance!) to come see me play. They even did a ticket give-away over the radio. It took a little while to warm up the crowd…and my onstage banter does nothing to help my cause because I don’t think anyone really understands what I’m saying. But halfway through the 2nd set I definitely felt like the crowd was on my side, and it was wonderful. And Dad did a great job as photographer/cameraman/merchandise manager as well, he’s a fast learner. Only 4 shows left in Germany! Booo-urns I wanna stay!
