Exercise During A Herpes Outbreak

Wacken 2010 - Arriving

On Monday we made the pilgrimage 02.08.2010 - Sven (Wacken companion since 2007), Ilka (role-playing friend, we have taken the last year already on the way back) and I - once again after the Wacken Heavy Metal Mecca. For the fifth time for me, so a small anniversary. How time flies ...

now we are very experienced, so we have hardly discussed even before. Sunday evening I had with Sven schonmal loaded our luggage into the car.
Monday morning at 8:30 we have to do then made their way to Real at last minute shopping. Short term, we have decided to take a grill and buy meat for the first few days. Last time we were so Sarah and her boyfriend (I refuse to "man" to say this is so strange ...) by lining, and we wanted to eat this year not only ravioli and 5-minute sterols. Then we brought
from Ilka already and hoped that it does not confirm old stereotypes and roles drags half their household. The two bags they took from her apartment awakened also erstmal our confidence, but it then has conjured up another mountain of other stuff in the trunk of her boyfriend, including a new pavilion, which she alone has bought because we felt we were just to place neighbors with a gazebo to when it rains. Amazingly, I could still see in spite of the baggage from the rear window.
Before then went off we had breakfast at our car by tanks and Maccers tape with the W: O: A logo plastered, so that we recognize other Wacken-goers on the highway too.

beaten 6 hours we drove on the highway, never more than 120 km / h, fuel is always the most expensive on the whole festival. There were also two short queues at smaller sites.
The road to our campsite was shown us as always by friendly Wacken folders. This time we were a bit later since the last year, so that the back rows were already filled and we were ushered directly to the best spot of the whole area - the very front, in the midst of the party, close to the stage, but not directly on the way in which all must pass, next to a small ditch of the camp from one side to be protected against a single pass. We have always been good places to get caught, but that was really ideal.



tents and pavilions were built up quickly, first words were exchanged with the neighbors. They had a large, very stable luxury pavilion also, which gave the impression as if it would withstand even a tornado. Then we picked up our tapes and Full Metal Bags. The man at the counter was very nice, we can adjust the width has the ribbon itself and not offered to cut off the excess. The Full-Metal-bag contained This time, among other things finally earplugs and a small LED flashlight with a key ring, which lies in super secure under the "ceiling" of my tent. Thus equipped
went there on a first reconnaissance trip to the now-familiar village. In the Information Office, there was already a long queue of people wanting to secure the first T-shirts. Even Sven and Ilka have her there already worried because we knew from previous years that were later entirely times over an hour for it is present. I have won first omitted since it Wednesdays are many other motives, and I actually have preferred the time offered Dio-Memorial-shirt wanted, whose proceeds go to Stand Up And Shout Cancer Foundation, and that was not yet available. After the purchase, we then found that the headliners appear this year in the regular shirt, but only on the separate A Night To Remember shirt (which has existed for some years, especially for the Thursday-playing, usually well-known Hard Rock Bands ). A total Verarsche has reduced my need for a shirt that much. My theory is that the user fees for the logos of the big bands, the now are too high on Wednesday about 10 different designs, and you want to have consistent lineups. In
Edeka me then I try to buy a can of cannabis iced tea, which turned out as the only cost 15 cents, has the stuff because it seems easy wanted to get rid of quickly. Was neither particularly good nor particularly disgusting. In particular, it has the taste of sweetener and water.



On the way back to camp to have Sven and Ilka be bought even in supermarkets of the Wacken Festival Wacken everyone has a camp chair for far too expensive 15 €, because they had forgotten their chairs at home. Meanwhile, there was already quite late, so we have our first grilled to hunger and then have a little more together and talked rumsaßen until Ilka wanted to sleep around midnight.



I'm still trying to Sven on the caravan-tent Anne to find, but this year was because (at least at the time) not. So we stood nurnoch a little to the people the big screen and projector, where it had music videos are happening and then crawled into our tents.
