Autogigography, 10 December 2006: Midwinter Fair, Archeon – Alphen a/d Rijn, NL
Despite the disappointing experience at Metalbash, we were headed for the Midwinter fair after only 3 hours of sleep. 1000 Rockstar bonus points!
We arrived timely and hauled our stuff upstairs where we would perform. We were just a few minutes too late to wake up all the bands that were sleeping in front of the stage. Some bands played Saturday and Sunday and they slept in front of the stage. I guess that’s a 1000 Rockstar bonus points for them.
There’s actually very little to write about this gig. We played very relaxed and very well. The crowd was very very very good, despite the early hour. There were actually people waiting for us to get started! The sound on stage was terrific. I’ve never had such good sound on stage. This is definitely one of the gigs I will always remember.
Also: I had fans on stage! Not the human type, but the windy blowing refreshing ones. It made my hair all swirly and wooshy and it looks great on the pictures.
After we hauled all the stuff back in, I was exhausted. I drove back home and fell asleep.
Still, this must have been my best experience with Transentience to date. After the disappointment of Saturday, the euphoria of Sunday. Oh yeah.
