EPTi left work friday morning at 6:30am only to get back in to work by 11pm. i had two hours of sleep so I was barely functional. i got on the flight from london to germany at around noon and arrived at 5:30pm. Naruto was supposed to pick me up but Nyvone had problems getting his car so I had to find my own way to wcg. I had a lot of trouble figuring out where to go for money and to find the S train but I eventually got to where I needed to go and a nice friendly german guy helped me purchase a ticket (and was nice enough to pay with his own money since I had no coins =/). after i got off the train stop i was lost and walked all around trying to figure out where to go. finally i got a taxi to wcg for 5 euro. i forgot to tip ah fuck.
i got out of the taxi and walked towards the venue (i didnt know the exact address i just say go to the place where they hold big events) and i was so lucky that zatic recognized me and waved me down as they were about to leave. i was there at around 7pm and that was when everyone was heading out so i was lucky to catch them before i left.
we headed to the players village and i dropped my stuff off at ilvy's room (im staying with her). we went out to eat dinner.. walked to a nearby bar/restaurant. then headed back, hung out at frank's room with a bunch of people.. i did an interview with drunken ret and drunken draco but they wont let me post the video so im just keeping it. if you ask ret maybe he'll let me show it to you. then went to sleep at around 2am.

im so fucking pissed.. they dont do english commentaries here because on some block on german broadcasting that forces people to only do broadcasting in german.. plus technical issues make it difficult to switch to English. I talked to the WCG Broadcasting guy and he said it would take four hours to switch things over since the commentaries are tied to the web streams according to language so if the commentators switched places, they would have the english commentaries broadcasting on the german channel (which they didn't want to do).
anyway im also so fucking pissed because our tshirt shop promised us tshirts by yesterfuckingday and they didnt fucking arrive.
this is all i get from USPS:

fuck that fucking shit.
meat brought his video camera.. i asked tasteless if he would do an interview for teamliquid and he agreed to it. i told lilsusie but she said she would do the interview. anyway lilsusie is translating an interview for mym right now on the condition that she can say this is lilsusie from teamliquid.net and she can post the video on here. we might do interviews for teamliquid as well.
as for me, i might give up on doing interviews since i suck at it. i couldn't follow the games bec there is a huge crowd around the area right now and its hard to figure out what's going on.. i believe it was nony vs tt 1-1 last i found out.
much thx to zatic for live battle reports.. i was just working my arse off for the entire week for the europe music awards site and im burnt out for now.. im just taking a bunch of pictures.. hopefully that's enough..
=/ im burnt out and disorganized this year and oh so lost in these european countries. much thx to teamliquid for helping me keep my sanity and guiding me around.
im just a lil bummed right now bec i cant deliver on what i promised T_T.
