"Stupid fucking shitload of an airline called British Airways left all our gear in London. All. Other luggage arrived ok. "Look, some band gear. Let's leave it here so that they won't be able to play." Current info is that the gear will arrive here approx. 3h before the showtime tomorrow. Remains to be seen. And on top of that, someone had been smoking in the plane's toilet and the stupid fucking git of a flight attendant comes to shout at us 'cause the long haired ones are always guilty. Fuck off, British Airways. Seriously. Fuck off".


"Airline rant part II: United Airlines charged us $440 for my bass case from Mexico City to Newark. 40$ because it was an extra piece, 200$ because it was 2kg over the limit and 200$ because it was too long. And we do have longer and heavier items! Perkele".
