fin.
my hands are trembling as i slowly type these words on my apple computer.
the exhaustion is literally pulling me apart as i realize.....this is the end.
last show.
flensburg.
what a great tour. you guys were great everynight. some nights when we were tired or sick or not “feeling it” one look at you guys was all we needed to jumpstart our show and realize that we had a duty to do our best every single fucking night.
and we tried.
i know sometimes we disappointed you but that is normal in every relationship. isn’t it?
so many funny stories....
in berlin we were asleep in our bus when a loud knocking from outside was heard resounding throughout the sleeping area.
“hallo! Hallo! this is gyro! from burning heart. Hallo!”
great. gyro worked for burning heart and literally never left us alone. he was always on our buts with photoshoots interviews meets and livestock contests. it was very annoying.
“hallo! come on!”
he picked up nathan and put him in his strangely grandfatherlike buick (gyro is a hip young berlin dude, so it was an incongrous choice of vehicle to say the least.)
chad and i followed gyro into his enormous buick which he then drove at frightening speeds through the crowded berlin city streets. nathan texted home a good-bye because we thought we were dead. nope, not that lucky.
“gyro where are we going?”
“kliene interview...nosing really..”
you get out. go to star bucks. she meet you there!”
bye gyro!
next thing we knew we having makeup applied because we were going on live tv, interviewed for twenty minutes by a stylish young fraulinne wearing the latest in prada.
we hadn’t even brushed our teeth. this is not good.
uh, can we do our hair?
“Nope! come on you look great!”
suddenly we were on live national tv being asked about our new record and what we thought about germany.
we had to judge men on hot or not. then eight women begged nathan to strip and even gave him a horrible little pair of red briefs to change into for the dance.
he wouldn’t do it. he blushed beet red.
our lives are very strange.
notes: sorry about the sweden shows. the promoters cancelled the shows and there was nothing we could do about it. hopefully we will make it back soon. if you live in berlin we are going to be hanging out at the magnet club in berlin as part of our berlin vacation. come on out and say hi.
cheers...and tribute to nothing rules. check them out please.

Hej Guys, I really hope you´ll make it to sweden sometime soon. First I planned to fly to Berlin just to see the show and when I saw that you would play in lund I couldn´t believe it. I almost started to cry when I read that the show is cancelled.
Enjoy your free days in Berlin - its a great city!

Hi guys, thanks for the fantastic night in Flensburg on Friday. We hope to welcome you soon in Germany for more great live shows. Thanks Nathan for the autograph before taking the shower, sorry Matt for stopping you after shower and Josh, the lady in the first row, I'd like to tell you more about that strange lady but it's nothing to write down here. Robert, cool stage dive at the near end of the show! TTN have been great, unfortunately they did not play that long! Have a good time in Berlin, it is the greatest city in Germany for sure!

If I knew you guys were having vacation in Berlin, I'd have searched for you all the time... I just came back yesterday and saw this... Whatever, I'll keep great memories of Berlin, even if I haven't see you there. Can't wait for your next tour in Europe! Come back soon!
