Mon 11th May Vienna gig





A hot Scruff, there were no stage fans!





Would you buy a T'shirt from this man?


Monkeys stuff arrives so he sorts it into piles for each gig





Woke with a slight Hangover
We all had a lay in and went to the venue at 13:00 nothing was ready, they had changed to a larger venue at the last minute as advance sales were too much for the original venue.
The new backdrop arrived and it looks brilliant, Pete told me the last time the band toured with a backdrop was 1994, I think they should always have one, looks really good!
Sound check was excellent and long as the band pissed around for a while.
Full house for the gig, was a good show. Some guys kept getting on the stage so Hoggy and I were busy till in the end they got security. There was a lot of stage diving, The band say they don’t like all this diving as it reminds them of Chelsea’s Didier Drogba, cheating bastard!
When we went to leave we hit a major problem, our gear wouldn’t fit in the tour bus, In Serbia the back line had been locally supplied whereas the rest of the tour we are using our own hired in back line, this had been delivered to the venue along with loads of stuff for Monk.
Now we realise it won’t all fit in the bus. We are bloody good we are.
We did get everything in the end but it would be impossible to travel any distance, also the van was seriously overweight.
We managed to get to the hotel and everyone went straight to bed, we were all wiped out.
