Today’s PA adventure in Gdansk Poland for Open’er Fest will be the first JBL VTX I have come across this tour cycle. The gig is at an old airport with grassy bunkers to hide airplanes. Huge concrete doors and now the biggest flying thing living in them are hundreds of sparrows with mud nests.

Not sure if the the suicide net on level 3 Copenhagen airport hotel makes me feel more or less comforted. Mid air high speed pic of the turbo prop pulling us to Gdansk Poland. Normally I’m not a fan of hotels that a 300 feet from baggage claim but it’s a welcome sight on 2 hours sleep. As was a welcome sight to see this Vacation Movie looking van with a smaller van sticking out its butt that hauled us all to Open’er Fest
It may look like a sunset in Copenhagen but in reality around these parts it’s just a sun-nap and it’ll be wide awake and shinning Wake Up! in 4 hours

Sometimes load out food forgets to look delicious or perhaps this is a revolutionary way to solve the indecision of what to eat way past dinner time and nowhere close to a rise and shine breakfast meal. Yay pizza! Yay breakfast! Hmm, not so yay breakfast pizza.

Never been a fan of the Roskilde stage and it’s curvy tent sound. But was nice to have a quad of big Brown bananas. Went well all in all, perhaps a bit more overlap between the main and side hangs than I like to hear. But plenty of power.

Travel slim. My new rock roadie touring rig. #Brompton 3 speed and 7 days of everything I need for road survival. One carry on bag and the bike fits in a checked bag for plane rides.

A month of travels ahead and Monday’s morning C-Street surf before fly away. We finally saw the the start of a the seaweed die off that comes each year when the ocean water warms rapidly and along with it the plethora of washed ashore critters. And those are not orange rocks but rather some sort of egg sacks they seem to be. There were crabs, some empty shark eggs and loads of these little green guys all mixed in with the seaweed salad lining the shore. Sad to be leaving but also not going to miss the smell of decay that is soon to come next. Off to Denmark Roskilde and plentiful worldly rock shows. 12 days home to short and miss Kim and my daughters and little four legged friends already.
