Who knew Falun had it in them...

A couple of weeks ago I drove the looong straightforward way to Falun with Axel (dïethead) and my friend Sofie :) All for Crashdïet of course. This would be the last chance for me to see them play in Sweden this year, plus it was free! So I couldn't possibly stay home and do nothing. 
"Granny Goes Street" turned out to be a very small festival, but still pretty crowded. Mostly with annoying teenagers who almost ruined the night for everyone else in the audience by jumping around, picking fights and acting like idiots. But at the same time, they were the ones who got the crowd going...haha :P

While waiting for the gig to start we met up with Jonas (dïethead) and a friend of his. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures that evening, but I'll keep our good mood and fun conversations in my memory instead ;)
Finally the Crashguys got on stage. Me and Sofie decided to not waste our energy at being pissed off at the underaged guys who thought they had a chance with us, while being creepy and smelling like beer (very classy). We ended up standing at the side of the stage. Not the best spot, but we still danced and had a blast :)
The gig went so well! Except for when Martins and Peters instruments went dead, haha :P but everyone just laughed it off. The crowd was so wild. And the guys really enjoyed themselves, we could tell! 
Afterwards Crash came out to the merchandise, like they always do. To sign stuff and take pictures. We just waited a couple of meters away to give them some room to breath. I understand that it must be pretty crazy meeting so many people at once, taking a pic here and there, then signing this and that. I see no reason to put stress on any artist in a situation like that. Just saying Hi and talk for a while is good enough for me. Besides, Peter recognizes me from the Crashdïet forum and always takes the time to talk for a while which I appreciate :) I also talked to Simon who I had met the week before when I was in Stockholm with Lou. Haha yeah, he was one of the dudes that we partied with so it was fun seeing him again. I won't go into any details about that evening though, I haven't even told everyone on the forum that we partied with him. He was there as any other person, not as an artist and I respect that.

The guys told me that they were really happy about the gig too. I just got kind of sad when they said on stage that this would be the last Swedish gig for this album. And Simon asked the audience if we thought it was good or bad.... "what a fucking stupid question, how can you guys possibly give me an answer to that?" :P

All I know is that the guys are working on their fourth album now and I'm so excited about it!!!!
