So as I sit listening to SYL, working away the last few hours of this trip in Lake Forest, I am mentally preparing for another instalment of the awesome Wacken Open Air. So my plan for the next few weeks is as follows:
Fly back to England. Unpack. Pack for Wacken. Put all of my CDs in a spindle. Sleep. Get car serviced. Meet sister. Wait for masses of people to invade our flat. Sleep. Drive to Germany. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Drive to England. Have a bath. Sleep. Fly to California. Work/Sleep combination for some days. Fly to England. Sleep. Drive to Derby for Bloodstock. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Get drunk and listen to metal. Sleep. Get drunk and listen to metal. Drive home.
Sounds excellent to me! Unfortunately, in that list, the only decent amount of time I’ll get to see Gemma will be when I come back for Bloodstock, which isn’t until 16th! Which sucks. Things like this make wedding planning very difficult, especially when she is working so much too!
