last saturday we played a small town festival about 200 miles from our location.
folks were very friendly and helpful, provided some roadies and drinks and food.
the gig went well, a lot of people dancing, it was a big tent for about 500 people, but in the halftime it started to rain and some water was running through the tent.
a lot of people left and we finished our gig for only 100 folks left.

monday night saw us at a big volksfest in the south of germany.
it was damping hot and humide and we were soaking wet after we got set and did the soundcheck.
the gig was good but took andifficult turn, when about 150 ! already slightly drunk youngsters, highschool absolvents, came into the tent to party.
after convincing them, that we were not metallica nor ac/dc, we played some more rocking county stuff and all of a sudden, it was the turn of the girls... the asked us to play johnny cash, willie nelson, keith urban and so on. we had to play achy breaky heart 4 times!!!
we were lucky, that the manager told us to stop at midnight, because they had no further permit. and he booked us again for next spring.
