Most challenging experiences: Going to the wrong city (with the same name as the one intended), Map missing essential stops and new parts of the autobahn & GPS missing entire countires, having the guy who takes $ at the door leave out the back door with the money for the band
Best Laugh out Loud: Mike hollering to Elyse "Hey Elyse, where did you put your hairball!?".
First dutch food experience: Gevuldekoek (almond flavoured filled pastry good with coffee time) & gehackttballen (meat balls & usually with a satay sauce)
First German food experience: Cold cuts and raw ground beef as a 5 star breakfast
Best Hotel: The Nunnery in Uden, NL
Best off-stage surprise: First rehearsal
Best on-stage surprise: Dekkers showing up at the Spijkerboor NL show & then Nuno joining in!
Tour Disappointment: Tour photographers (Hans Kraus) new car quits, he goes home. & extenuating circumstances mean we miss a live radio show.
Best local legend: The little woven baskets of Sesslach DE, are given to a friend so that if they should have sorrow that they can put it in the basket (some are the size of ones little toe) and then place the basket it in the river, and watch it (the sorrow in the basket) float away with the river. And so then one feels better!
Highest priced item so far: Eating out in Holland period
Best priced item so far: Oatmeal flakes & Diesel Fuel
Regretted stage comment: I mentioned i didn't have time to shave, and I particularly noticed because Elyse's violin playing has the hairs on my everything stand up on end. I was told by an audience fan“it's time to get Lasered”
Favorite audience comment: “WOW” after every song.
Best live video footage we have seen so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6CkcjonOpc
Things we as band members have in common: long hair, and vegetables, and granola
Best spontaneous discovery: Jesus Christ superstar of some sort performance amplified with the text displayed over the top of the stage to a packed full church...we were drawn to the sounds coming from outside the church. It sounded like a rock concert and indeed, much like one!
Favorite photo so far :see attached
Seeing the good in something bad moment: chipped my tooth while flossing! It new fang is used to rip open the plastic around the CDS
New technology discovery: carbonation machine for still water (Die Carbonator!), the self propelled lawn mower, the kick bike
Music are listening to in the car: 70's live disco mix, hot leg, Vivaldi, Mel's 'just because cd'
Tour bonding experience: Riding dutch bikes over the dikes.
Strangest Animal: the horses who can’t see through their own bangs/hair.
New promise to each other: write something together and record a live CD to sell
