23rd june 2007 - Vienna, donauinsel

I don't find any peace at night. on top of everything that has happened, the oompf-oompf-oompf music drifting over from the Donauinsel that drowns everything in stupor keeps me awake. I actually never wanted to play here, I don't think anything of this atmosphere, of the mass merrymaking, the mass boozing. I am unspeakably angry with the viennese cultural politician who lured us to this island because he just wanted to ensure for financial security. he followed his words with a smile. Now we're down €25000. We were screwed by a cheat. "You're a pickpocket under a sky full of headache..." My team work through the whole night. They immediately began to dismantle all the pieces that had been under water - so, most of them - and to blow them out with compressed air and to dry them off with hairdryers. We plan to catch up on the concert tomorrow, provided that we can get everything to work. which amounts to a confession of faith.
