Aug. 1st 2000: Storsjöyran Festival and beautiful girls
Hi there !!! Well, Travoltas have returned from wonderful Sweden! And what a terrific time we had!!!
As you could have read earlier on, we had to play at the Storsjöyran Festival (or The Great Lake Festival) in Östersund, a beautiful town, about eight hundred kilometers above Stockholm. We all brought our sweaters and coats, but what do you know…. The weather was great too! 28 degrees (Celsius that is) and a clear blue sky! So with these conditions nothing could go wrong! Ad 60.000 people (from which 59.000 were beautiful girls) in a good mood and a couple of beers and you can imagine what a swell time we had! The plane took us right to the hotel, where all the important people stayed… 😉 Fucked up as we were (we hadn’t slept in 2 days), we went straight to the bar for some beers! After a fabulous dinner and some very interesting conversations with the girls from All Saints (?!!) we finally got to play! The atmosphere just couldn’t be better. We love you Sweden!!! After the show we all went to the afterparty in the hotel! All Saints decided not to come! What a pity…! The party was a little boring, so we just had to do something about that right? Right! So we decided to take our friend Sjef inside. In case you never heard of the guy, Sjef is a dragon that lives in the ocean, but he recently moved to the Östersund-lake. We have known each other for a long time now and it’s always a pleasure to see (and smell) him again! Only problem was that he is a seamonster right, so we had to keep him wet with our beers. And the thing with Sjef is, you never start talking about his dog! He gets all mad and stuff and he takes everything for himself, including all the girls. But they liked it alright! As we were dancing on the tables (this actually happened), there was a little incident between our roadmanager and the roadmanager of…. again A.S.!!! He was complaining about all the noise we made. The girls couldn’t get their beauty sleep! So we decided to beat him up! ;)The party ended at about seven in the morning, and that was exactly the time we were going to be picked up by the bus that would take us to the airport! How convenient… So we didn’t get to see our rooms, but then again, what the f*ck, right?! For all you Swedish guys and girls: Har ni redan gjort upp planer för 16/17/18 augusti??? Because we would love to see you (again) at the NRJ-galas in Malmö, Göteborg and Stockholm!! See you then!!
