after the.. rush?

I didn't have any internet connection the last days, but i actually wrote for hand, so here comes what i wrote for hand the last days.

day 8:
i spent the day walking around in Philadelphia. Cozy town, but not that big really. well, at least -downtown- isn't that big. the entire city is one of the biggest in america. the evening was spent on a pub-to-pub circuit around in the northern part of town. we made it through 5 pubs before closing time. witch means 2am in philly.

day 9:
went down to baltimore with greyhound. took about 2 and a half hour. baltimore is hot! felt like a punch in the face when i stepped out of the bus. thought philly was hot, but dude! but what can you do? there was a pre-fest party in town (at the same venua, in fact), so i went there. in basic, it felt like going out in oslo, haha. there were a few "new" faces there, but also so many people i know. cool! anyway, had a great night. lots of fun. priscila wore a nice t-shirt!! after the efst, me and a couple of others had a small after-party at my room. good times. this town is crazy! cracked out people, people with guns in their pockets, cockroaches all over etc. i like it here so far for some reason, even though i do not feel safe at all. just woke up, it's 2pm. going out to meet some friends for food and coffee. then some tourist acts.

day 10:
well, no tourist acts. we went to a bar called max's on broadway for breakfast. and some beers. they have over 800 beers to choose from! impressive.. tried a few different ones. including raspberry-beer and chocolate-beer. hmm.. they had 102 beers on tap. not bad prices, and the food was awesome. yeah! off to the festival after. think i only saw watain and coffins. can't really remember. so many shows going on when there is a festival, and i really like to hang out with people instead at stand put in front of all the bands all the times.

For some reason, my cell doesn't work properly. only a few of all the text messages i send goes through. and i don't receive all that are sent to me either.

the sound on the festival is so far horrible. especially on watain. it ruined their show. literally. pity.

day 11:
had some indian food for breakfast with a friend. bad idea. food poisoning next. fuck! oh, it's illegal to swear within the city limits in maryland. don't tell the cops i did! first band today was obliteration. awesome show! tight, good sound. win. then we went back to max's on broadway again. i'm all out at cigarettes at tis sime, and i really want one. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!! anyway, we went over to max's. wasn't really hungry, so i ordered a plate of nachos for a snack. it was the largest fucking plate of nachos i ever saw. damn! worst thing though, with only a little help from my friends, i finished the whole monster. stuffed! back to the festival to see repulsion. great band! great gig! an hour later, autopsy went on stage. win!

almost forgot, we did also see sadistic intent and possessed. totally OK day!

day 12:
new day, new breakfafst. no indian food this time. i feel much better now. we all gathered at a place downtown called the waterstreet tavern. great food, great cocktails. spent the day there before we went down to the festival. 30 bucks! cheap! all right, down to the festival. saw N2002, not my style. then pentagram. dude! win! surrender! also saw obituary and some other bands. hang out in the festival area until the bitter end, then we bought some beers and headed back to my hotel. good times. it's almost 3pm now, so better go out to catch some breakfast. and cigarettes. the room-cleaners haven't showed up yet, guess they respect the fact that 4 days of festival is a bit exhausting. great!

all over baltimore there are small blue lights attached to light poles, street lights and so on. when they are lit, they flicker for 2 weeks, and this means that somebody was either killed, raped or brutally mugged at that location. i saw to of them. also, a lot of the baltimore map is all grey areas, and in these areas there are no street names. simply because you should not go there. it's not safe. charming, huh?

wait a minute. there are fresh towels in he bathroom! guess i slept too hard..

it's memorial day today, so i think everything is closed. hmm.. where to get food. maybe the left-winged bookstore/coffeehouse across the street can help me out.

day 13:
tried to find a cheap way to go to canada, where i have some family, but couldn't find any. i ended up booking a flight to los angeles on friday instead. got a great price. the plane leaves from washington dc, where i happend to have a friend. so i went to his place in the afternoon. then we had a walk around in his part of town, and also a few beers. went home and to bed early.

my friend is working at this time, and i am writing all of this. when he's done, we're going to find a place to buy some cheap shoes, 'cause mine are all worn out at the moment. after that, dinner, beers, the good the bad and the ugly followed by heading to a bar. at leat this is the plan so far. see ya!
