Hellweek now

On the other hand, I can't say the week will be hell since there will be so many cool concerts but ok, I'll be damn tired on Sunday that's for sure! It will be worth it though, doubtless.

So, keeping my fingers crossed, the week starts with Motörhead, Saxon and Girlschool tomorrow. Then a Saxon headline gig with Dirty Passion as Support on Wednesday. Thursday it is Quireboys and The Gloria Story at Sticky Fingers. Should be fun.
Weekend starts off with Judas Priest and UFO at Löfbergs Arena in Karlstad and the last one, Slayer, Anthrax and The Haunted at Lisebergs Hallen. The downside is all time spent travelling. Good one is that I could use my points at Scandic and get a free night in Karlstad. Free is good.

I've applied for photopass for all shows but it can be messy and I need to decide what's worth missing for photos. Normally with these big events I can't carry my camera with me and I have to use the ticket to the show for the headliner... Not a good deal but it's cool to get to "shoot" these big bands also... We'll see what happens.
Saxon at KB is settled without issues and so should Quireboys also be.

My foot still hurts rather bad though. Probably should have had it checked but it feels late now. Standing for Black Star Riders was painful. And having cats around didn't help. To avoid stepping on the cats I hurt my foot again instead. Hope it holds for all the coming shows.

Big city nights

I guess I'm not in to the big city buzz anymore... Or I never had to care about time since the Metro run every 5 minutes all the time I'm using it in Sthlm. It's a bit strange actually that I get annoying when missing one commuter train when the next leaves in less than 15 minutes... Home we have 2 trains an hour and that's never an issue.

Anyway, tonight I'm meeting up with Nina and we're going to Akkurat to try some fancy IPA's. We've been talking about it for a long time and now it finally happens. Also, since Nina's birthday is next week it's a good opportunity to celebrate.

The snow showeling yesterday sure brought on a musclepain. Every piece of my body hurts today. Of course the foot too... It's getting better but I guess walking around doesn't help the healing very much... 

Let's see if there's a beer-check-in later.

Cheers

Kick start...

It felt REALLY unnecesary when I stopped on a small ledge and sprained my ancle this monday. It's both colourful and swollen now but at least it's not as painful as it was the first two days of this week.  Of course I only had boots to wear. It wasn't fun at all to squeeze the foot in tuesday morning I tell you.
Ok, I probably walked too much monday also but what to do. Wouldn't miss Alice Cooper and Mötley Crüe just because of my ancle. It wasn't that bad.

A good show it was. Fun with all the props and lights. Ok, musically Alice Cooper's performance was better but not much beat that Mötley show...

Some days prior to that show we saw Whitesnake in Helsingör. Also very good and a lot of fun.

What these two has in common is that both vocalists have done some rather critisized performances over the years but now it was fantastic.

Next week it's Black Star Riders before Hell-week starts. Will be tough but fun. Starting with Motörhead, Saxon & Girlschool, Tuesday. Saxon headline gig Wednesday, Quireboys Thursday, Judas Priest & UFO Friday and Slayer, Anthrax & The Haunted Saturday... Fun eh?

Tomorrow it's Friday and Peter ordered something to go with Styx and Wine for dinner.  Not too hard to please that! :-)
