Pomona, America, October 14th 2009
Ted was staying in the same hotel in Solana beach as we were.
On Twitter, Mike wrote he was looking for the hotel. Rachel told him how to get there. We had breakfast, Emma, Emma & Rachel joined us. They didn’t have breakfast, but they were sitting next to us. It wasn’t a normal breakfast with cereal, pancakes, donuts, bagels or waffles, but we had to make our own cheeseburger. Not sure if I like this for breakfast.

We needed to arrange tickets. The tickets were sold out. I text Ted and asked him. We were dying to go. I let him know I was coming with 2 friends. He got us sorted. It was me +2. Cheers Ted!

Ozzy and I woke up really early, my brother Paul picked us up from Bloemendaal and brought us to the airport. Bless him. He had to work there. We didn’t have the tickets yet, hope it will be OK at the festival with our order confirmation. Ted said it would be ok.

On Twitter I asked Mike what to do: Rock Werchter or Newquay? Rock werchter was on July 3rd. Wireless was on July the 4th. I already booked everything for Wireless. Might have been a struggle to get from Belgium to England in time for both festivals but I would have tried, but Mike’s answer on Twitter made me change my mind.
Emma said to me, READ TWITTER NOW!

Ozzy & I went from Bloemendaal to Dusseldorf early in the morning to go to a camping and set up the tent. We found the Strandbad Nord Unterbacher camping, we set up the tent and it started raining a lot. We still had to bring in our sleeping stuff. Oh well after a few minutes it was dry again and the sun was shining. So we could finish it. In the meanwhile, I had contact with Laurence, She let me know that Laurie wouldn’t join us, as she didn’t feel too well, Laurence was coming alone. At about 1pm we arrived at the festival, and I text Laurence to let her know where we were.

I woke up at 5am at home in Haarlem. I had to go to work (Bloomberg in Amsterdam) I took the night bus. I was in a hurry ‘cos I brought something from work with me, so I had to give it back and after that I needed to go to my other place (Nestlé) also by bus and metro, where I also work.
I worked with Edith that morning. At 12.30pm my other colleague was there, so I could get changed and take the train to Tilburg, where Ozzy would pick me up.

Mike and Ted had an idea to borrow items of fans at some gigs. When they picked an item, the winner could take a +1, they would get to party with them that night, they’d get a transfer to the next gig, a place to sleep, access to the next gig, party at the next gig and transport back home. WOW that sounds awesome!
