Gothenburg reunions

The drive from Uppsala to Gothenburg took ages. The scenery was great particularly the views of the lake Vattern (?). The road passes really near the lake and I freely admit there were moments where I wasn't really concentrating on the road at all.

The weather turned as we got near Gothenburg and it was pouring down when we arrived. We met up with Martin from the electric pop group and on our honeymoon, our hoss for the gig.

Myself and Martin went to drop the car off at the hostel whilst Duncan and Nick found themselves a nice warm, and most importantly dry, bar. We met up an hour or so later and Nick and duncan were in a merry mood. After grabbing a bite to eat we ended up at Klara, where i met up with with quite a few indiepoppers last year. I got to meet a lot of great folk there again, Oskar, Rickard, Malin, Anna and Joachim and lots of great new folk too.

Unsurprisingly we were in a state by the time the pub closed. Martin and Duncan got separated from us and ended up exploring Gothenburg in a vain attempt to find our hostel. We all met up by complete coincidence at jarnstorget. I'd already bought a falafel for Nick but he was in a queue at Burger King and was in no state to account for his actions. The evening was wonderful, the next morning couldn't have been more different. Suffice it to say, we all suffered.
