Er, holy cow!
You know, I just realized how long it's been since I updated this thing.
I think it might be a nice idea to put up a few photos just to show you guys what's been happening... man, I haven't even updated since we went to Europe! Jeez. No good! Our trip to Europe was a lot of fun. We got to drive around and see some really nice places (through the van window) and meet lots of good people. While the trip itself was a lot of fun, I've got a few photos here to show you some of my *personal* highlights. I'm not good with photo-adding-in-LJ, so bear with me.
When we were in Zurich, Switzerland (the first show of the tour), behind the club there was a sort of canal-river thing. Rhimmy, O-en and I decided to have a swim. I thought it would be good to be able to say "I've been swimming in Switzerland" (well, more like "frantic dog-paddling" in my case) so I joined them, slithering neatly into the water as they cannon-balled themselves in. The first picture is "before". Meghann's there too, taking pictures. The second picture is "during". It was really cool. The water was very clean and warm...
This picture was taken from the M'era Luna performance. I'm so sorry I don't know who to credit for the photo. But this was a great show. It was pouring rain, as you can see from all the umbrellas. But what a great crowd! Everyone knew our stuff and were so enthuiastic it really "pumped us up". A really satisfying, amazing show despite the downpour and cold. I was amazed to see such a big crowd gather for us. It was incredible, with the rain coming down and the wind and all those umbrellas bopping around to the songs. A very memorable show for us.
We played at the Highfield Festival and Good Charlotte played as well, among others. I just had to put this photo with Benji in here, haha. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, they were really nice to us that day and seemed like really nice dudes.
I have a *TON* of photos, it would be impossible to put them all on here. I'll find a couple more eventually, I just thought I'd share a couple of them with you.
Europe was beautiful. We got to see a lot of countries and play some great shows. I was sad to leave! :) We came back and indeed, it was nice to come home. I missed my kitties... maybe next time I can bring them along. I'm sure there'll be room for a few litterboxes in the van. *Ahem*. :D
So then we played a few dates with KMFDM a few weeks ago. That was pretty fun as well. They're really, really nice people and were really fun to hang out with. Here's Lucia giving me a big ol' smooch.
No, those aren't tears of joy under my eyes, it's just my sparkly eyeliner, which got all sweaty and smudged. It is hard to keep makeup intact while sweating, yummy times. But Lucia is awesome, very beautiful and powerful on stage. Very nice to get to meet and hang out with her.
You all have been incredible over the last few months, we thank you for your support of us while we've staggered around the globe trying to "spread the love". Keep an eye on our website, we have things to announce coming up. Dare I say it -- for the States? Oh, we'll see.
Me, personally... what's been happening... hm. Well, I've been trying to get work (I've been trying to "freelance" for a while, job-wise, and wow, that ain't easy). I've been reading a lot, and I've been knitting a lot, and managed to churn out a shawl amongst other things. (For any interested knitters, it's a pattern from the Lion Brand website and took about a week to make.)
What's everyone doing for Halloween? Any cool costume ideas? Anything exciting happening? Let me know! I promise to try to update here more often. I hope this entry wasn't too image-heavy and bothered anyone. Good times. :)
