[TOUR] Turisas supporting Dragonforce in UK/Ireland in sept/oct - official thread - Page 4

ah you've gotta love the epic quest back home after gigs... after both southampton and norwich i've got 4 hour drives to get home... and work the next morning

but the gigs will be well worth it.

if you enjoyed DF at download, you'll love them at their own gigs, they're so much better!

Thraxas · April 23rd, 2008, 08:59 AM

4 hours? And I thought my 2 and-a-half hour drive was a bit much!
Still, at least the roads are quiet that time of night. Nearly ran over a fox last time I did it, but that was about as hectic as it got.

Katie'Force · April 23rd, 2008, 09:09 AM

yeah, it's been a while since i've done it but hopefully it'll be fine, and hey, the bands are worth it! hehe

ouch, almost hitting fox's isn't a good idea. last gig i went to that was a distance away was wolverhampton, 125 mile drive home, i put sat nav on.... sat nav refuses to take me on the motorway, so i ignore it. the next day i tried to figure out why it fell out with the M6... turns out it had managed to alter the settings so instead of driving a car... i was riding a bicycle.... sometimes i hate technology

hahahaha yes, epic fail indeed.

although bonus points to me that i figured it out pretty quickly so could shoot onto the m6 instead of driving 125 miles on 30mph roads...

but i guess this is what we get for travelling by car and not by longboat...

Thraxas · April 23rd, 2008, 09:28 AM

Who the hell uses a sat nav on a bicycle anyway?
Fortunately I don't really need directions to get back from Cardiff - just keep heading west, and if I drive into the sea I've gone too far. As long as I don't do what I did after one gig - spend the whole drive worrying about the strange noise the engine was making only to realise afterwards that it was just the ringing in my ears making it sound different.

Come to think of it, maybe a longboat would be quicker...

Katie'Force · April 23rd, 2008, 09:36 AM

it did confuse me as to why that setting was on there

haha those are great instructions

hahahahahahaha yes, ringing ears does distort things...

we should so make a longboat and follow turisas around the country in it

Totally. But where to get a longboat from before September?

You think I'm joking...I'd seriously do that if I could get hold of a longboat

Thraxas · April 23rd, 2008, 11:01 AM

Come to think of it I know someone who's training to be a boatbuilder. Not sure if she's completed the Viking module of her course yet but I could ask her for a quote next time I see her.
