Some crazy things has been going on since the last diary entry. First and foremost, Evergrey pulled a full scale scare tactics prank on us. It was late night yesterday. Me, Jonas and Henrik were sitting up drinking (what elsle?) and watching Swedish geniouses in comedy, Tratten & Finkel, when we hear that a fight is going on upstairs in the bus. They're screaming shit like "Stop the fucking bus! Those assholes have to leave now!". First we don't get that it is about us, because they appear to fight within the group. Then suddenly we hear a bottle break and their guitartech dude Marco falls down the stairs with blood in is face. While he is getting helped we all just sit there, thinking "Shit! Shit! Shit! What are we gonna do?".

Then it comes: "Avatar will be leaving this bus tonight!". They all get downstairs and start to yell at us for whatever reason they can think of. But then suddenly they all burst out laughing. We were in shock, I can tell you that much, but it was actually funny as hell. We then woke up John and Simon and did the same routine on them and then party started. It was a hell of an ice breaker.

The second bump in the ride was that a tire on our trailer exploded on the middle of the highway to Barcelona. We were luchy and a Spanish mechanic dude is getting a momentary solution together and we get to the venue in good time for the show. Barcelona rocks, period. Tonight we'll be playing here in Lyon and we're looking forward to our first show in France. We've only been drinking when being here before. Cheers and smell ya later! / Johannes
