All over and back to Germany

Moving all over the place these days. We've had a few rough drives that are now under our belts, and have a few more on the way, then it's home free in Germany! We've been treated really well all over Europe. The crowds have been packed tight, and extremely generous. In Scotland we hung out with some really cool kids after our show. We've had a couple of really awesome fairy rides here and there. Another memorable evening was last night in Tczew, where after our show we danced the night away until 3 a.m.! Joel even drank a shot of vodka. Thank you's go out to the pack of really nice polish girls who danced it up with us. Tonight's show in Dresden was a fun one. The sound had a lot of potential, but things always change when a room fills with 200 people. We enjoyed every bit of it though. Beautiful space-

Thank you for all the generosity that those have shown us along the way. We're having the time of our lives!

we're in Belgium at the present. Europe tour started off a bit shaky with Joel breaking a cello string, a low mix, and a slightly rough crowd. However, we fixed the string and Brussels is treating us very well. The drives are beautiful and our driver/tour manager Martin is a very cool guy. After this tour he's managing Lightning Bolt, so it's kind of beyond me why he's working with us. Unfortunately we haven't been able to roam about the cities thus far. It's a lot of work getting to the venue, loading/unloading, and finding a place to stay, but the drives have been beautiful and the coffee at gas stations is outstanding.
