Last night we were in Hanover. It turned out to be a pretty good show. The crowd was smallish, but quite a few of them bought CDs. Plus, the venue hosts all-night parties on Saturdays, which myself and Emanuel, armed with a case of beer, decided to avail ourselves of. I finally stumbled back to the place we were staying at around 6 AM, quite thoroughly soused. And subsequently suffered my first hangover of the tour.
This morning after going back to the venue for breakfast (I love it when venues give you dinner AND breakfast), we then struck out for Gent. Emanuel hadn't gotten to bed himself until about 7 AM, and so spent the drive sleeping. The venue itself was fairly small with quite a cramped stage; nevertheless, the sound was quite good, both on stage and out in the house. So far, the only lousy sound we've had was on the first night, which, judging by our last tour, is to be expected over here. The show was actually quite packed, although judging by the very small amount of merch we sold and the small number of folks who came and spoke with us, people were more there for the venue than for us in particular. Still, it's always nice to play for a full house, no matter why they are there. Also, the French couple whose home we stayed at in Lille a few days ago was there; it was nice to be able to give them a taste of our full volume sound, as when we play their house it will likely be mostly acoustic.
So far I've moved through excellent British lagers, Czech pilseners, German dunkelweiss, and tonight of course Belgian white beer. Love it.
