we went to the "Mera Luna Festival" on this tour. just for fun, not to play. it was incredible. The Mera Luna is a massive gothic music festival in Germany, boasting bands like "tool" and "skinny puppy". in an endless sea of black, we were exposed to a wide array of people expressing themselves in many different and interesting ways. the atmosphere was so great and everyone was very friendly. we learned a great deal about the many uses of leather and other things that tie you up. "whip, crack!". one of the best, most educational days of the tour, hands down.









on a side note: we also played another festival on this tour that's main purpose was to promote love and art and an all around feeling of acceptance, equality and community. i hate to say it, but we never met more assholes than we met here. seriously. the vibe of Mera Luna was all of the things that this festival boasted to be, and this other one was all of the things that a lot of people who are idiots might assume about gothic music crowds. my point is a) don't judge a book by it's cover, and b) if it looks like cotton candy, it isn't always cotton candy.
