Five guesses where we are today...

It's official.  I have seen part of Europe.  Here is the proof.

Here are some photos taken during the performance at the Reading Festival on Sunday.

I'll give you 5 guesses where we are today...

Yesterday we played the Highfield Festival here in Germany.  As is typical at these summer festivals, the event is held in a large field.  The day before we got there it had rained and flooded, forcing a near-cancellation of the entire show on our day.  But the show must go on, and the rain stopped, leaving a huge field of mud.  One bus got stuck.  A big-rig truck got stuck.  Then yesterday we arrived to sunny skies and mud.  Until showtime.  About an hour before we took the stage, a huge storm moved in with rain, wind, and lightning.  The band before us had to stop for a while for those in charge to assess the situation.  Rain, lightning, wind, lights, electricity, generators, sound gear, and a large metal-framed stage can be an uncooperative combination.  But everyone stuck around, the storm passed, and we had a super fun show.  Thanks to everyone who stayed through the rain and wind.  I hope you had as much fun as we did. Now a day off in Hamburg.  After four shows in a row in large dirty fields, our crew is enjoying a well-desereved break before continuing onwards... Here are some photos from yesterday, BEFORE the storm moved in.

Here are some more photos from the first two shows of the tour.

Haven Lamoureux, who has been filming the blink-182 documentary, is out on the road with us over here in Europe.  Here are some of his photos from the first couple of shows.
