Hi Everyone!

Just a quick update from the road — thanks to all who came out to see us at Copenhagen and Helsinki! You helped us get this mini-tour off to a great start! We’re already on site at tonight’s venue (Biebob, BE); the crew is hard at work setting up our equipment, and I’m doing my best to keep my grubby paws off of all the sugary treats and chips and naughty snacks that are the typical before-dinner venue food.

As you might have read on the official tour diary at www.streamofpassion.com, there have been several setbacks and close calls due to the storms that have been raging across Europe. I had to make a quick trip back to Sweden after our rehearsal period, and was depending on the Swedish rail system to get me to Copenhagen airport to meet the rest of the band the morning of our show there. There were lots of horror stories in the media about cancelled trains, power outages and other problems and I was really worried that I might not make it. But luckily enough time had passed between the worst of the storm and my departure time so that everything was OK. I arrived in Copenhagen in PLENTY of time to meet the band, who had their own series of delays and mishaps (see the tour diary for detail) and almost didn’t make it at all. I was REALLY lucky that some friends who were in Copenhagen for the show were willing to hang out with me at the airport while I waited. They kept me entertained and well-caffeinated at the Baresso bar (highly recommended for the carrot scones, btw), and also kept me calm as each new delay of the Soppie’s flight appeared on the monitor.

OK, almost time to tune the pink guitar for sound check, but on the day off tomorrow I’ll be back with a more detailed update. Looking forward to seeing those of you who will be coming out to see us tonight!

Pinkie respect,
Lori
