Thrashed night at Kansas:-P

I have just returned from a night at Kansas City, and i have never been so thrashed from a night there as i am now. There has just been so much to do! I wanted to write this right away so i don't forget what i want to write by tomorrow:-P
Well, it was a big concert for a place like Kansas City tonight. Mercenary was the headliner with two suppoting bands: Unbelief and Submission. Unbelief is from Odense, so they had a great deal of support from the crowd! - The vocalist is a ”responsible” as it is called at Kansas City. It means he is the boss at the night he is ”on duty” at Kansas:-) He is a great guy and i have worked with him some times, so it was a cool experience to hear his band, and they were actually the best band:-P They were really good!! - In general the music tonight was just in a higher level than it usually is:-)
The good bands also attracted a lot of audience! - And that is why i am so amazingly tired, but i love to come home from a night at Kansas and feeling tired and thrashed, then it has been a great evening. The position that i use to have at Kansas is in a team of three in a night like this with these bands. Tonight it was a team of two because the third called in sick. And more crowed means more to do of almost everything. So my teams to do list looked like this:

- Checking the bathrooms once in a while
- Doing the dishes(whatever the band has used for dinner, and glasses in general during the night)
- Cleaning up bottles, and glasses from the tables during the night.
- Cleaning up after the bands in our two backstage areas.
- Cleaning the stage from bottles
- Stand in the door during breaks
- Make sure there is beer and soda in the bar or else fill it up! :-P
- Clean up if someone splashes beer or the like on the floor...

Its a challenge when you are two people:-P But i love it!
And i got an unexpected surprise! - A guy from the Danish Christian Metal Forum Assulting Vanity showed up! - I was so busy so we did'nt get to talk much though.

When people was almost out and i was sweeping the floor a security guy walked up to me and said: ”you did the hard work”, and gave me 20kr. Very nice of him. I had never even meet him before that night!
Well, i better go to bed before i pass out:-P

Picture later...
