04.19.13 — 12.13 — Friday — Hotel Mercure, Tilburg

Finally fell asleep sometime after six this morning, thinking to myself that downstairs, they’d just be putting out the breakfast and I could just as easily go down, bring a sandwich back to the room and stick it in the fridge for later. That would’ve been economical, but the thought of moving was more than my brain could handle at that point. Pretty much limited to farting and being frustrated at still being conscious.

My alarm was set for 11.00, so it was still just a  little less than five hours, which is enough I guess. My right eye was all red when I woke up and I wondered if some bastard hadn’t given me conjunctivitis,  but no, just exhausted and hotel-room dry. Need to remember to hydrate, especially as there doesn’t seem to be much opportunity to stop and eat along the way. I put 10 Euro into one of the machines at the 013 last night and got myself some munten — the tokens used to buy drinks at the venue — and was fully ready to spend all of it on water, but the bartender just gave me a cup. People here are wonderful.

It’s gloomy and rainy enough out to make me think Electric Wizard brought the weather with them from the UK, but spirits are high all the same going into this afternoon. Today is pretty full-on, but I’m ready for it.
