Actually we couldn't make everything and everyone fit in the van. Arvid had to take the morning train to Hamburg where we were supposed to pick him up after we installed Tim's wife and kid in Nagels apartment, which we rented for Tim to stay in while he's here. Arvid got in Hamburg on time but the van was delayed big time because of massive traffic jams. So we didn't get out of Hamburg until 17.00 and we still had a 5 hour drive to the Magma Festival in Mittelsinn. Luckily we were scheduled to play at midnight so we made it in time. The festival was held in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere. Just a small group of houses and a deserted little railway station. But sure enough - people were coming out and there were 7 bands in the line-up. I really admire these kids from these small villages. They make things happen! Apparently Barra Head have some die hard fans in this area, there were people that travelled a bit to come see us. Crazy. We got a great dinner, played a good gig, drank some great local beers and had a good night's sleep in a nice little hotel in a beautiful spot in the countryside. The best was probably when a dog entered the stage during the outro of The Discipline Of Making Sense. We stood there feeling oh so serious and a dog came and sniffed us in the crutch... Hilarious.
