Sure, just credit TNS.

[Druska]

That's awesome Lars! Can't wait to see some videos! Now I wonder how many people who aren't from TNS will abuse the "I'm from TNS!" pass...

might try that in barcelona

But it's okay for you because you really are from TNS! I'm waiting for someone who's from, say, Sum 41 Bandaids only to say "... Uh, yeah, I'm with TNS. Matt Whibley FTW."

[Simon]

Hey, they're in south Germany today. Would be a 5 hour ride and it's 6 A.M., I could still make it... think I would get backstage like that? Problem is I don't even have a ticket and I don't know the location at all.

[Nic]

Hopefully Nic doesn't get yelled at for a bunch of fans trying to get backstage cause they are from TNS. lolz.

[Simon]

Bravo, you just gave me a reason to do it

[Nic]

Bravo, you just gave me a reason to do it

Lol, oh well. They like meeting dedicated fans. Fake fans that only know singles ftl.

[Simon]

Honestly, I would go there right now. But it's over 600 kilometers away.. that's at least 100€ for fuel plus I would have to get a quick oilchange for my car first. And then I would have to live the rest of the month off bread and water only.
I would be so bummed out if it was all for nothing..

[Lars]

Yeah, well, that's kind of a huge risk actually.

I was told being on the guest list, but I had a ticket as well. Turned out to be the same thing actually: entrance to the festival area, but not to the backstage.

I was extremely lucky the guy at the back entrance of the festival gave me two minutes to handle over that bottle of Jack. But it turned out into a whole day, amazingly enough.

[Shelley41]

why is everyone meeting sum 41?! ah I am so jealous. I want to post a story like this too in 2 months.

I am very happy for you lars! You were on the festival on your own?

[Simon]

Fuck it, I'm going. Oil change done.
I called the place where they play tonight, but Sum 41 are not actually there yet, only the tech team, so I couldn't talk to Matt or Chris. They told me they will call me as soon as they know if we could meet up later. But I have to get going now if I want to be there on time, so no risk no fun. Wish me luck!

[Lars]

Well, good luck, man!

I hope things will work out!

Gotta appreciate your effort man! Hope you'll meet them!

[Lars]

Last 5 seconds are the funniest, I guess

[Simon]

Damn, they blew me off - but in a very nice way.
Got a call-back from the German tour assistant lady and she told me they would like to but they arrived late and are now very short in time and have to leave immediately after the show, because of the next one in Czechia tomorrow.
And since she was kind enough to personally inform me, I didn't want to be pushy and said that it's fine. May be next time they're here, I think in November. I was barely on the road anyway, when she called me, so at least I was saved from wasting a lot of money and time on a pointless trip.

@TomiT14: Thanks man! Would appreciate removing my brothers email address from that quote though. I don't want it to get picked up by spam bots, which I totally forgot about.

[Lars]

Well, that's nice. I mean it.

I mean, they'll be back in November, maybe closer to your town and it gives you more time to work things out more properly. I admire the shot you gave it actually!

And such a nice lady on the phone. We should be treasuring those. A lot of them would have never called you back.

[Simon]

Yeah, she was cool and I could tell that she was sincere. Everyone I spoke to instantly tried to get me on the phone with Matt or Chris. Didn't expect that at all. Must be because I mentioned I was from the opposite side of the country.

What is he saying ?

[Lars]

At 0:25 he's saying: "Tweede keer! Uit!" which means "Second time! Get out!", because he got me off stage before.
