Day 24 Parma, Italy
Today was the last show of the tour. We made it without breaking anything but we lost one thing. Or I should say we were stolen one thing. At the Barcelona show someone took our drum stool. We found different one in the green room. We thought the opening band took ours by mistake and left theirs. We didn’t have a choice. We took that one we found in the green room which was much cheaper than one we had. We got the band’s e-mail address and wrote them. They wrote back and said they don’t have our drum stool. Since we were renting our drums and a guitar amp, Lupin’s boss told us we had to have the same or similar quality of the drum stool when we return them. We went to a drum store and bought a new one even though WGF was going to use it only once. Luckily we could trade in the one we found in Barcelona and got some discount.
Right before the show started, it started to snow. We had cold days for this tour but this was the first snow we had. I felt like Minnesota winter came to tell us it was the time to go, time to go back to the real life.
On the way to the hotel, Lupin gave us last guru-guru time. He missed the free way exit to the hotel and wasted more gasoline for no reason. I wasn’t sure if he really sucked driving with GPS or was enjoying the last drive with us making it a little longer. He was listening Husker Du CD. I singed along to make sure Lupin heard me, “It’s not funny anymore!”
