Back from a weekend in Stockholm

Oh what a trip!
I finally managed to take Amr to Stockholm and he totally loved it!
I used to go there often but since I moved to Umeå, being so far north, didn't have so many chances in the latest two years. It felt great to be in a big city for a change!




I don't know actually if I would like to live in a city, I am more of a little town woman and even if I love shopping and see different people I still think it would be too stressful for me to live in a city like that.
On the other hand Amr, used to Cairo, one of the liveliest and most populated cities in the world, felt like he was in his natural environment.
Apart from the fact that we spent lots of money without even realizing it and the fact that the humid air of Stockholm made us freeze more than here up north, I can say it was a really beautiful weekend.
We were supposed to see Pain and unfortunately we were forced to have a change of plans in the last second, but luckily on saturday night we went to a great gig in the centre: Vicious Art, General Surgery and Grave.
The venue was good, music was powerful and Grave played the whole first album, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of its release.






I really enjoyed all the bands. What surprised me the most is that the venue was full of old wolves like myself, that means people in their 30's for the most part. I was not used to that anymore! But it felt really good to be around people my age and see they are still rocking!
What I didn't like so much was the fact that most of them seems to be wasted and many guys were like hitting on like everything that moved...that was kinda sad, seen that with my sober eyes...but oh well, everyone acts like they want.
Anyways, even this time we came home with the pocket full of guitar picks!
Check this out!


All of them are from Grave, apart from the green one (not sure whose was iit). Amr has really a radar for guitar picks! It is now really time to invest in a safe or something! LOL!

I am really happy to be home now...feels great to be home in my apartment, sleep in my own bed etc...I came home more exausted than ever, two nights with almost no sleep at all, got out of the plane and went straight to work...so you can imagine how good I slept last night! I slept like a baby!
Well, that's it for now! Have a good evening everyone.
