Last Friday we played with Fabulous Five in Grünewaldsalen (the Grünewald hall) at Stockholm Concert Hall (Stockholms Konserthus). The concert series is called soppkonserter, soup concerts, and is a very nice event. The audience arrives, have a soup, and for dessert a concert is served, this time the very tasty Fabulous Five (Ooh, I’m clever today). All seats for eating guests were sold out, and also lot’s of people were sitting on the balcony, where you could sit if you didn’t want to eat.

We had a blast playing this gig, and it felt like a really good concert. As a bonus, the acoustics were amazing! We never had better sound, everyone heard each other exceptionally well, and this without any monitors or micing except for the concert grand piano, which by the way was the best instrument that Rasmus ever had the pleasure of playing on.

We only had 5 records left from the last pressing, and they were sold immediately. Sadly enough, there were many more who wanted to buy a record, that had to go home empty-handed. Of course this was a bit unfortunate, but still a good review for us!

It really was a pleasure to meet and play with the band again, last time was in the end of May I think. Since then I have, which you may have noticed, moved to Vienna and Ludwig to Los Angeles, so it really was great seeing everyone again!

Now I’m soon home in Sweden again, I’m really looking forward to it! On Friday we play with Fabulous Five at Stockholm Concert Hall (Stockholms Konserthus). The concert series is called soppkonserter, soup concerts, and are lunch concerts where you can enjoy some nice music together with a soup if I have understood everything correctly. Will whatsoever be very nice to meet and play with these guys again!

On Thursday the week after we’re playing with Jerry the Cupboard at hotel Hellsten, which I’m also looking forward to! Also nice that I get a little more than a week in Stockholm in between the gigs, plenty of time to meet friends, do some jam sessions and say hello to the city again.

I’m flying cheap with Ryanair from Bratislava tomorrow at 16.35, I hope I will manage to take the right bus here in Vienna. Vienna is undeniable very well located in Europe, it is very easy to travel to many nice city’s from here. Suits me very well tomorrow, since Ryanair don’t fly directly from Vienna, at least not to Stockholm (Read Skavsta, 90 min with bus from Stockholm).

Yesterday I were out shopping Christmas gifts. My plan was to have that done and bring some presents to the family from here, but I only managed to find some stuff for Julia. I guess I have to go shopping some in Stockholm too. Julia and I decided to have our Christmas gift distribution yesterday evening, today we don’t have any time for that. We had a really nice time, eating Christmas-sushi (regular sushi but on the Christmas gift distribution-evening) and giving each other presents. Really nice!

Now I have to work a little before my last school day before Christmas. I’ll get back to ya.
