we're here
hi,
we are in antwerp, belgium and i love it.
i love belgium.
it is slightly intimidating though becuz everyone is so beautiful. and competent. and polite.
and reserved too. we are definitely the loudest folks here.
imagine that.
we are playing the de nachten festival at this beautiful conservatory called desingel. the belgians know how to do it up right. they support their art. this place is an engineering masterpiece.
some of the ladies are too.
anyway, we are opening for stuart staples from tindersticks. that was a nice surprise for zach and i who are fans.
they put us up in the hotel across the street and the backstage accomodations are top notch.
only hope the rest of the tour goes as well.
last nite we sold out that dive of a club, barfly in london.
and we got our van. which has significantly less room than the sprinter we had last time we were in europe.
in fact, if anyone wants to lie down, they have to ride in the back with the gear. which evan and i did this morning. cold and dark.
we'll have to work on that.
thanks to my friends for all the support.
i am sad to be away from my family right now, but we all agree i am doing the right thing.
love,
gg
