novy bor, czech republic


As much as I love Berlin, we needed to get on the road badly. Tensions were running high and money was running low. The money situation hasn't been as bad as it was last year but we're here to play so let's get on the road!

We got out of Germany and went to the Czech Republic. I like Czech. Maybe it's my heritage or maybe it's just that it's someplace new.

We got lost trying to find our venue outside Novy Bor. When we finally found it, we walked into what looked like a town hall with posters of half naked women, Eminem and Shakira on the walls. Yuck (except for the Shakira part). They fed us something that tasted more like roast beef than anything else I've had since becoming vegerdly eat it.
tarian. It was in this stew and I had to get Dom to double-check with the guy to make sure it wasn't meat. The mushrooms in it even had the texture of the fat that falls off the beef. EWWWWW. It was so authentic tasting that I could hardly eat it.

A drunk girl bought Justin a shot of rum and then proceeded to fall all over him. Unfortunately, he left her at the merch table and she proceeded to fall all over my merch. It took us FOREVER to get out of the venue when we were done playing. We were supposed to be staying with a guy in red leopard print pants but he had to wait until his friend down at the bar was ready to drive him. So we followed them and noticed that they pulled over to the side of the road, trying to get this girl walking through the countryside to get in their car. She didn't so they pulled away. Lenin then pulled up and asked her if she wanted a ride. She climbed in crying and holding a large knife in front of her. I don't know what the situation was but we came upon our lead car which was waiting for us. The girl said she wanted out there and when she opened the door and climbed out, the lead car went in reverse too quickly and hit our right fender. It didn't cause any damage to us but Lenin was pissed because the driver was drunk. The driver tried to give him coins (which aren't worth shit in Czech) and Lenin got REAL mad at him. Lenin got in the car and tried to drive outta town. Fortunately, the road he got on was closed and we had to turn around. He calmed down and we followed the car to Leopard Pants' apartment.

Crazy times.
