Diary 08

Tagebuch über die Tour in 2008

In 2008 schreibt Alex wieder einmal eine Menge in seinem Online-Tagebuch. Diesmal über die kürzlich stattgefundene Tour in Brasilien. Seine erste Tour als Solo-Künstler.

Leider können wir euch aufgrund der Menge keine deutsche Übersetzung hier liefern. Alex schreibt einfach zu viel!

Tour Diary - 22 bis 29 Juni 2008

It was hard to get out of bed….very hard. I wasn't feeling so great. I packed up and went down to the hotel restaurant to get some food before we left. Literally the first bite of food swallowed and my stomach was like "noooo, I hate you". GOD DAMN SALAD last night! I had some sort of stomach flu, that was for sure.

Sucks balls, I'll tell you that. Anyway, I was fucked up...

But a true and overwhelmingly strong love relationship for me and, well, my brain. Yes, I've played some shows over the last 4 years while being stuck in this "solo album" never-ending cycle, but I haven't TOURED…. And this was a TOUR...

Tour Diary - 30 Juni bis 6 Juli 2008

Today was a press day, just Globo TV, the biggest network in Brazil. We were supposed to go by there for an hour or so to play a couple songs on some show…but of course it turned into a day long excursion. Globo TV is this massive empire in the middle of nowhere….like a Brazilian "Universal Studios". You get on golf carts and get driven around, there's a huge food court, and it's all bustling with people and multiple studios of shows. I had been here a couple times before...
