Hahaha so kanns gehn in Hannover:
Towel guyvon Sunrise Avenue, Dienstag, 29. März 2011 um 23:28 Cologne Kassel Hannover
I am sitting here at Radisson Blu Hotel in Hannover having a HUGE salad and pizza. I had to reward myself after a long day. I started the interviews already yesterday in Cologne. Today Riku flew in and joined me for the Morning TV (Wake-up at 0530!!) and after that he flew back home and I continued alone again.
Its been super cool meeting the reporters and folks again. Many of them I met before on our previous trips and its so cool to see that some morning hosts from 5 years ago are the music chiefs of the station now
I am very tired after the wake-up, long traveling, interviews & my little shopping session in Hannover today, but I must write about this one thing that is bothering me a little bit and maybe someone can help me.
I love Germany. I really do. Germans make the best cars in the world, they have supported us like little angels from the very beginning and I have nothing but good to say about them apart from this one thing.
I went to the spa today to relax at the FINNISH sauna a bit before my dinner. I had forgotten my swim wear at home as I was packing in a hurry so I took a towel with me from my room, so people would not have to stare at my family jewels.
I was sitting in sauna with my towel on and everything was nice. Nice steamy air and very hot. Exactly the way I like it. Then this couple, lets say both 60 years old, came in fully naked, of course. I guess that is ok in Germany. In Finland that would not happen. Its ok to be bathing naked with family or if the sauna is only for men or women, but this one was a public unisex place. I decided that I am not going to mind them at all, but as soon as they stepped in, they started staring at me and my towel as if I was an alien.
They were both lying all over the place and especially the guy, who seemed pretty satisfied with his own equipment, was having his feet up against the wall and I was forced to close my eyes.
Then after 2 minutes of silent relaxation together with the lovely couple, the woman said something very fast and almost angry to me in German Sie können nicht .In Sauna And she was pointing at my towel. I said in English that I dont speak German. They both looked very angry and obviously the point was that I shouldnt wear a towel. Why? I stepped out after a few minutes because I felt totally unwelcome there.
This thing has happened before. I remember some crew guys at a spa after one festival where the security had come in the sauna telling the guys to get naked. Its not ok to sit inside with your pants on?
So can someone please tell me what the story is with showing your most sacred obstacles to everyone and how bad have I really been wearing a towel here? I meant no harm
I hope the anti-towel-couple will not come into my dreams tonight. The pick-up is 0930 in the morning, so Id have time to sleep well.
Have a good night everyone, where ever you are. With or without a towel
Samu

Out of tune! von Sunrise Avenue, Sonntag, 3. April 2011 um 19:23
I am feeling a little out of tune after the long birthday dinner last night. It wasnt that late, but after working pretty long days the last 3 weeks; I really dont feel like a princess today. More like a frog. But if you kiss this one, a prince wont appear just a tired Dr. Haber. But it was worth it
Thank you everyone for making my birthday so nice. I was actually a bit sad when I read in the promotion program that Ill be pretty much alone on my big evening. But the Radio stations and lovely fans / friends made it very very special. I dont think I ever got this many presents and I had my room full of them last night. And thank you Intercontinental Köln for the superior suite for my B-day. Nice surprise. I slept so well
So I had so many bottles of wine, some very good ones (!!), Jägermeister, whiskey, beer, cakes, clothes, a dancing duck and a lot of little toys we will enjoy wit the boys. Thank you all so very much.
We had a dinner at a great Spanish restaurant called Pepe (how original downtown Cologne (Can warmly recommend) together with our / my product manager Daniel and my friend Julia also joined us. It wasnt a good idea to mix Kölsch beer, wine and Amaretto. That is what brought the headache. We ended up driving in her Smartfor2 three people inside and I am happy the Polizei didn5t see us
It was a super nice week! When I flew down one week ago, I looked at the schedule and was a bit worried how hard it will feel after some days. I gotta say, especially now that we agreed to leave some time for sports / gym every second day, its been super nice. And even the promoters get to sweat with me at the hotel gyms The best gym so far has been at East Hotel Hamburg, my absolute favorite. They give you strawberry smoothies when you work out and the place is super cool!
I am flying to Vienna Austria now and Riku will also join me there later tonight. So far I have been alone apart from one morning TV show in Cologne, where Riku flew in just to support my wakeup Again they said at the check in at the airport that its a huge problem taking my guitar in the plane. Its always the same mess. They claimed that its too big and it wouldnt fit in the lockers. I tried to tell them that it does fit and that I have done this a 1000 times, but no. They had this nanny especially for me checking that nothing bad happens. I walked in the plane as usual and put my guitar up and sat down. She said oops and walked away. As always. Its cool how they start panicking every time
Next week we also go to Switzerland and then back to Germany for the Frankfurt music expo. We also play a full show there! I also heard about some great news from new Sunrise Avenue countries where we will actually be heading already in may. Jeeee
I am so super happy with the first results with the album, single and ticket sales and of course the air play. I heard that in Germany only, they play around 1500 times of Hollywood Hills every week. Crazy And my apologies to the ones who dont like the song
The tour start gets closer every day and I just cant wait. I guess there are tickets only for two shows left, and not too many even in those cities. I think the good response will encourage us to book another round in SEP-DEC this year. A longer and a bigger one
So, have a great Sunday everyone and enjoy the sun just like me here in Vienna. It started raining in Cologne as I left, but still after the long and cold winter even a 15-degree nice spring rain feels so damn great!
I will take a nap now, well land soon and I have to look tired so Riku knows that I have been working my ass of for us.
Thank you all again for yesterday & the whole week and see you very soon!
Samu
