Zensor's comments:
The venue packs a nice stage with great lighting and crummy backstage. Ad posters for the gig anywhere visible and this could've been a great night for more than ten people. Ad an open door to compete with the other entrance to K17. Torches, a program, lower ticket fees - anything, and this would've been a very different night.

We were somewhat discouraged from the last days' discussions, and we settled with playing first this time, after Kash had messed up the stage with his greasy show - all whiped off, no offence. We did what we usually do when there's a fuck-up: Toss a full-blown concert regardless. Which we did, and to our pleasure, it was good. Just plain good. The guitars held up through Mausoleum, ground noise from yesterday was tracked down and eliminated, and the local crew were both competent and eager to break sweat. Stage sound was excellent and lights were grand, couched by Mads ( mostly by "Wait for it") , making Mausoleum, Wither and I Wish just those crescendos they were written to be.

Patch up with plenty of drink to get the last frustrations out and end game in the hilareous/crummy camp area on top of K17 - mounting the Zensor-banner to keep the sunlight out. A good drunk sleep to a drowning project - Summing up DNF: much was good, a lot was just average, and some critical issues were utter crap. The parties involved will probably never get together for another effort like this, yet enmity applies only to a few - and mars little of the surrounding experiences, or the hospitality we received by the German crew - and our new friends in Berlin. Thanks again.
