Leo Freire Signed Drumsticks!

Hey!

It has been a while, since I have wrote a real bit. since I have wrote something interesting for everyone to enjoy! Man! Do i know how to ruin a perfectly fine lyric or what?!

A while ago I asked what my next subject should be. Leo said it should be his signed drumstick. It took a while since I got to writing again, but since then I was lucky enough to get another one!

The first stick I got from Leo was given to me in Aarschot, Belgium on 19-10-2015. He promised it to me in Cologne after the show there got cancelled. We turned out to have a awesome night in Cologne anyway with Leo, Mike, and Lizzy.

The second stick  was given to me on 12-05-2016 by Brendan after Leo let it slip playing the first song in Oxford during their previous tour. Afterwards Leo signed it very suitingly with "the flying drumstick from hell"

I'm really happy to have gotten the two drumsticks and would love to get even more for my collection!

Oxford was really great. After a miserable trip from the Netherlands to Oxford which took us 3 more hours than it could have we finally arrived and the welcome was so warming! We almost instantly forgot about the travel and enjoyed every second of our stay in Oxford. During the show they played my all time favourite song "Fisherman with a clock" and it was perfect, almost got me to tears there. After the show we got to hang around a bit and chat with the band. It's great to have become friends with a group of such great people and I can't wait to see them again on the next tour! Also seriously eager for the new album to come out!

I hope you enjoyed my writing! If you want you can leave comments to say what you liked and didn't like about my blog. Now to think about the next item of my collection I shall write about.

Also: If anyone who reads this happens to have a spare Brendan B. Brown USBBB stick, please let me know I really really really really really really want one!

Bye!

Gerben.

Wheatus Comic

Hey Guys!

It has been a while, but i'm back! After a fantastic tour of Wheatus, which I enjoyed so incredibly much. I have finally found some time to make a new blog!
Today I'm going to write about the Wheatus comic.

A few months ago I got a message from Jane, Wheatus' merch wonder, asking me if I wanted the Wheatus comic. I didn't even know it excisted but when I heard of it, I needed it. Jane could get it for me via an other Wheatus fan. Acquiring it took a short while. I agreed with Jane that she would bring it to one of the shows in October. Unfortunately Jane didn't receive the comic in time so I had to wait a bit longer. Didn't really matter to me, as long as I got it. On the day it arrived I was really psyched. After opening the package and eating my dinner the reading began.

The comic was released back in 2001, if I am right it was made for the tour Wheatus did that year. I don't know how many were made but I do know they're not easy to find online. It's not a very long comic, but it's a great tribute to us frogs. The comic tells about Brendan who is having a huge writers block. He just can not come up with new songs. He then gets the suggestion to eat something, when he discovers Pete Brown ate all the food on the tour bus. Brendan gets mad , but Pete finds a sandwich he had stashed at the beginning of the tour. It's moldy and Brendan gets sick. When he goes into the toilet to vomit he starts spacing and the toilet turns into a blue and yellow squared room. A lot happens, but after a while Brendan figures out that their greatest achievement is earning all of their fans. It then start raining frogs who then all literally lift him over his writers block. He then wakes up grabs his guitar and occupies the toilet to write awesome music.

In the back of the book there is a small info box saying you can order the comics plus more via mail. It also says the comic came with a free poster. I hope to find this poster one day so that I can add it to my collection.

Well that's it. I hope you enjoyed my blog. If you feel the need to say something please feel free to contact me. I always like to hear what you think!

Thanks for reading!
