Things are looking good for the 20belows. They are playing a gig at Lades in Copenhagen with Time Again on May 30th. Get your ass to that show if you're in the area!

The 20belows have also booked a US tour with Johnie3, leading up to their gig at Insubordination Fest. All tour dates can be found on the bands Myspace.
The hardest working Danes in pop punk have also recorded covers of two Groovie Ghoulies' songs for two upcoming tribute albums and have a split 7" with The Apers in the works.

Guitarist Kasper Keen has launched a new project called Panther Bookings. The one man booking agency will focus on Danish shows and Euro tours. Details can be found here.
Keep up the good work boys!

When did sport become the most important thing on the planet? We're short on people today because it seems everyone is working late to cover three sport events tonight. But since I'm not financially independent I'll just bite the bullet and keep working like crazy.

The last 12 hours have been weird. On my way home from the night shift I got stuck behind a long line of circus trucks on their way into town. How often does that happen?

Most circuses spread their trucks further apart on the road so that other drivers can get past them. Apparently circus Brazil Jack has never heard of this concept. When I first noticed the sign something inside me went "ohh".
But the classic circus feels like such a dated concept. It can't be great for the animals and driving all those trucks around is hardly good for the environment.

On the other hand I love to watch equestrian events and talanted trainers work with dogs, but I guess it's not quite the same thing. Those animals aren't trained simply for entertainment purposes.

Anyhow, this morning I my neighbours decided that 8 am was a good time to start drilling holes in their bedroom walls. Always a nice way to wake up after five hours of sleep. When they finally started to quiet down I was almost asleep... And then the doorbell rang.

Since it was a delivery guy with a package for me I decided that the powers that be really wanted me to get out of bed.
So I made breakfast and watched Angel. Turns out today's episode was the fabulous "Smile Time" where Angel gets turned into a puppet. Hilarious!

Fabulous things:

• Dark Chili from Barista. The Mayas were right, hot chocolate tastes better with a hint of chili. I'm never going back to the sorry, watery stuff the cafeteria at work tries to pass off as hot chocolate. Unless I really, really crave hot chocolate.
  

• Magazines like BUST, Bitch, Marie Claire (UK edition), Inked, Punk Rock Confidential and AP.

• Good vegetarian food at restaurants. This doesn't happen as often as it should.

• Astrid och aporna, finally a local store where everything is vegetarian!

Things that suck:

• Yesterday I was 0.3 seconds late for the bus and the bus driver looks me in the eye, shrugs and then waits two minutes before driving off. Bastard. The city bus is the last part of my trip to work, and I have to run from the train to catch the city bus to the paper.

• Astrid och aporna are out of Stonewalls Jerquee and don't know when they will be back in stock. What am I gonna chew on in the meantime?

• Last week's Radio One's Punk Show with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio as a guest host is gone from the website and I didn't get a chance to listen to it. Damn, damn, damn me and my procrastination!
