Hello Strawberry Skies...

The weekend passed way too fast again. We managed to do a lot though but it still feels very bad that time flies as fast as it does. When shall I have time to be bored? When shall I have time to have nothing to do? Don't even remember what it feels like! But we started off Saturday quite early with a trip to Gothenburg, first stop was to check out a Bass amp for Peter.


Is it loud enough?

The guy who had it sold a nice Marshall Head and cabinet quite cheap tobether with a Valvestate guitar amp. As a package it got really cheap... And there's always room for more guitar-stuff, right?And space we have! Last week I finally got the keyes to out rehearse room, 30 sq m bright space! That must be filled you know!


The BLUE Ludwig kit

After the Bass Amp, next destination was a bit south to check out a Ludwig Rocker drum kit. Almost unused, in perfect shape and complete with cymbals and all.

Nothing new here but still fun!

The place is still quite empty so te next mission will be to put up some posters and stuff like that! We did talk about putting the Jon Oliva's Pain backdrop up too since it won't fit in the flat and it's a shame that it just is laying around in some closet!
It was great fun to play (quite) loud again so I' absolutely going there some day after work to blast the windows out. My stack has been resting for too long now, that's for sure!!!

Marshall is the shit!

Apart from the old LAB 5 and my Peavey head there's only Marshall amps in the room! I must fix the JCM 800 too so I can change between the two heads depending on my mood.


This is how you look when you have a Marshall!

Both me and Peter felt rediciously happy after the rehearseroom was set. The best thing is that we can choose if we want the room for ourselves or if we want to share with some other band... For now it is ALL OUR PLACE!!!


The next mission was IKEA to pick up more shelves to the Billy's... Since we were there we thought we'd check out the couches one more time and all of a sudden there's a set on display that looks EXACTLY what we've been talking about. Really spooky but perfect! No more looking for Media furniture, bokshelves and vitrine cabinet.
Of course, picking half the stuff up on the "take-it-yourself" storage we realized everything wouldn't fit in the car at one time. So we had to take one turn back to Borås before picking the last few things up.

But finally at home the exciting part of putting it all together. These were a little more complex compared to the Billy's...

No missing pieces this time

But that was no match for us and once everything was up the flat really felt more like a real home. Ok, there's still things to be fixed but these furnitures was really what made it a home.
The large book shelf

Next weekend we'll go shopping for a couch again. At least check out the one we thought were the best from last round. Finding the right couch was a lot harder than I thought...

The rest of the stuff

It's really funny to be a little cat when there's boxes, bags and paper everywhere. A lot to crawl into, to tear apart and hide behind, under, inside or where ever possible... It's really scary to walk sometimes because you never know when the next KATTACK comes!



KATTACK

With the shelves up Peter could finally sort his books and set them the way he wanted, by author so visually it sem like chaos. But it's still fun to have everything in place.

Same, same but different

Peter sorted books and I made dinner. It was fun to watch Peter getting 100% into the books, he didn't even realize I was taking pictures of him.


Full focus

The shredded pork filét tased nice with the peanut sauce and rice! Could have been a little more spice in it but it tasted ok. I realized in the middle of it all that normally with peanut sause it should be chicken and not pork but that worked fine too!!

No flied lice here


Then I read last week that one of my favorite bands, Troube are entering the studio and will record their 8th studio album. I still haven't decided if Cory Klarke is as great a replacement for Eric as I thought... The record will have to show that! I love Cory's voice but I think he used to be better, sing more melodic back in the days... But I'm sure it will be a really good one because the track they played at the last tour really sounded great!
Cheers
