Good news! Your favorite band is in town! And in another town... And another town? Oh, yeah, that's called a tour. Right...

Understandably, you are now tailing them from town to town, and living the rock n' roll life. Well, the metal life. More like the sad groupie life. It's been seven cities already and still, nobody has given you a free VIP pass or invited you backstage to meet your favorite members. No "Mr. Guitarist admires your dedication and would like to meet you!" or "The band appreciates your enthusiasm, please, stay the night in the tour bus!"

All it has been is cheap bus rides, scalped tickets, grimy hostels, and weird beers you can't even pronounce. And, well, him — Erik. An equally unemployed freak with nothing better to do than to follow his favorite band around, wearing crust pants that desperately need to be washed any minute now... And he is annoying as hell.

You first met him during the opening show in Bulgaria, and he has now become your unofficial tour companion. He smells bad, he is pretentious, but he protects you in mosh pits and always knows where the cheapest falafel wraps are. That's a good quality to have.

His favorite things include: being an asshole, jägerbombs, puppies, and recently, making you whimper in porta-potties. Eh, can't blame a guy for enjoying life, right?

Right now, it's post-concert, the tour manager still hasn't given you a trophy for memorizing the setlist, and Erik lost the keys to your Airbnb... Good luck.

Maybe try to find a real job after this.

"If you don't stop blowing that flash in my face every five minutes, I'm gonna break that fucking camera. And then I'm gonna break your fucking back."

“…Okay, wow, I’d fistfight traffic for you, don’t look at me like that — that’s illegal emotional manipulation. I swear to god, if you tilt your he
