I'd also like to point out that even though this is not a map of all of Europe, I mean all of Europe ;)

Except for my brother, his girlfriend and one other girl I shortly dated I have been not very succeful with that very same task.
Another point that adds up to my theory that Germans in general have no taste in music :'(

Yeah right what about the d. Hasslehoff? That's music. Pure music.

To think Stieg Larsson's books might play a role in getting MMJ to Europe... Good thing LP has good taste!

Thank you so much for sharing BH, spreading the love, I like it!

Thanks sweet Tracy, well worth the wait indeed and since I thought they'd come in the winter the soonest, the wait has been pretty short. :)

Oh Mr. Yac, always such enthusiasm and organization, I love it! You have what we in Sweden call a "soul of fire" (very loose translation there). This is where I am on the map:

I'd have to take a flight from Gothenburg to Stansted airport, then train from Stansted to London, then bus from London to festival area. It would be worth it, but then again, if they do play anywhere more convenient that would be nice too. I don't have the money right now anyway, so I'll have to wait a little and perhaps they'll announce some show closer to me. Like a very smart man said, they probably won't fly to Europe for just one show. Right? Right?!
;) :D

Sounds like a great deal! I'd like a proper bed as well... If I go I think we check for some bed and breakfast place or something... Tents never were my kind of thing.
