“Tour-bus” is understood as a cocoon-mother with 12 casulicos. These, called in English language, “bunk”, are the beds. For me, however, more they seem half-open coffins with ventinho and luzinha of reading with one cortininha to guarantee the individuality the optimum style “visits soul” of the Brazilian chains. It is truth also that the cocoon-mother has kitchen, bathroom, video game, films, music and colloquy, much colloquy. Everything this on four wheels is clearly.
In it we travel stretches of 15, 20 and up to 36 hours in this tour.
It is practically a Big Brother of the metal with wheels, but without Peter Bial (fortunately). All there searching its peace spiritual, in a introspective wait, not to defenestrar third or proper itself.
Clearly that following cartilha of the Human Rights, we had right to the sun bath in the stops for the coffee of the morning… do not ask on lunch or supper, therefore sun bath, as we know well for law, is a time alone to the day…
Beyond the band with 6 people, we had in the group the entrepreneur, technician of sound, technician of monitor, technician of light, roadie, tour to manager and two drivers.
A collection of multicultural DNAS: Beyond the Finnish and Brazilian uses a keyboard who you, had English, Turk, Argentine, Americans and Germans.
We were for Romênia in Bucharest, country of the Drácula and later for Eslováquia in a city whose name of so complicated my memory made question to forget.
After each show we always came back to the life of the cocoon. The doubt was always the same one: to enter in the project “vodka in the pass” with the Finnish to sleep anestesiado and to dream there of the house bed, or to hibernar in the tomb to the dry one. The countless hours that we pass in this life of clam, provided the possibility to me to vary on the two subjects.
Some photos of the show of Bucharest for vocês. E is clearly the photo of the bus, that beyond all yellow age. The figure with me is the German driver (it notices that the said one likes yellow… and fortunately in the photo it does not appear the bermuda shorts reasons-samambaias to the style “I am foreign well and I go to use to advantage this sun month with my tropical bermuda shorts”)
More soon!
