Some of the gang went to Doucmenta in Kassel the day after the show. We then drove from there to Strasbourg, France and played at a Gallery on Monday night. Then the next day we drove though Switzerland, down to Milan. I wish we could have seen more of Switzerland as just driving through it was spectacular. In Milan we played a venue called Funhouse. It was run by some lovely people, Gigi and Joe who were very good to us and the crowd were really enthusiastic and fun. We didn't get to see to much of Milan though unfortunately, as we had to drive down to Trieste the next morning. Trieste is really beautiful, on the sea, and again we meet some really lovely people at the venue, Tetris. We stayed at a hostel on the water which was very pleasant and since we had the day off we decided to check out Venice.
Venice is basically unbelievable and it was pretty much like a dream being there as we only had about 6 hours to check it out. We were complete tourists (as you will see in the pictures) but it was just so breathtaking we couldn't help ourselves. We left Venice about 8pm and had to drive all the way back up to Strasbourg. We got in at 5 am, had 4 hours sleep and left for Metz where I am sitting right now. We are playing with about 5 various local electronic/ dj acts tonight which is fun as a lot of our shows we have been the only band. It sounds like it will be pretty interesting.
Pat just did the maths and we have traveled 8536 kms. A total of 94 hours driving. This does not include the ferry ride to Gdansk. Yikes!

Bill sent me to check out your blog so I could catch up on what Matt was doing. Life looks stunning for all of you. What an adventure.

You're sporting some mad bangs there, Clarebear.
I hope the search for my international bride hasn't been too taxing for you.
You look relaxed and exhausted in true rocker style.
