Sean Lennon Day 28, Brussels, BEL
We got in to Brussels at about 2am, which, unfortunately was a little too late to do anything. We went straight to our rooms, which was probably a good idea, but the hotel was being renovated, so it really wasn't that nice... Easily the worst rooms of the tour so far.
After some sleep and a quick coffee, we went to the venue, La Botanique, which turned out to be a botanical garden. Yes, it was very weird. There was a performance room at the back of the garden, which wasn't so bad really, but when we got there, there was a grand piano on stage. For us. But the thing is, we don't use grand pianos. It was pretty funny, guess you had to be there...
After the soundcheck, we had a short time to walk around, and we were directed to the ancient town square which was incredible. We didn't have much time though, so we promised ourselves we'd head back after the show.
So we did. We went to what turned out to be a really lame club. Not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times did we re-enter this club. The dj's were wearing Metallica and Nirvana shirts, and, I kid you not, they were playing all Muzak (elevator music) versions of major rock hits. It was absolutely horrifying. We tried really hard to get into other places, but we were such a huge group of people that no one would let us in, hence the multiple return trips.
After about 3 hours of frustrated madness, we finally headed back to the hotel-in-renovations and attempted to sleep.
