First-timers moments: Mike drives stickshift-standard, Isaac plays the wood block, Elyse & Mike break out with 2 duo songs in the set, Mel rakes manure piles into the apple trees.
Best soft drink names: Sexergy (an energy drink that tastes like redbull-had to try it), Sisi (we're not sure yet about the taste).
Strangest stage: Hengelo, where we played with our backs to the smoking section who were behind not-so-sealed glass doors.
Favourite review so far: http://www.rocktimes.de/gesamt/d/melanie_dekker/ottersum10.html
Most unfortunate incidents: Stolen CDs from the merch table, one powerboat lost, a parking ticket, & a hit a run to the front bumper.
Best ways to stay fit: Mike "Running & elastic exercise bands", Elyse "Exercise DVDs", Mel "Running & the 5 Tibetans".
Favorite radio stations so far: www.radiocompagnie.nl (thanks for the gifts & interview!) and www.emsvechtewelle.de (M DEKKER: Album of the week!)
Best memory award: Elyse
Best surprises: Isaac (Nuno) became an OPA!. A trap-like door gets opened on stage while we play to get more booze from the cellar below. Pancakes with cheese & bacon at my cousins house.
The sweetest thing: My nephew Leon's new guitar and all the nieces and nephews singing "i said i" & "We will rock you".
The darnest thing: Our band car was too wide to fit across a draw bridge in Edam Holland. My cousin and his best friend show up to a show with the same shirt colorful shirt on (unplanned).
Difference between the Dutch & Germans: Kiss 3 times in NL and 2 times in DE.
Most common food we see & eat: Hard boiled eggs (most are also painted due to Easter!)
Strangest Animal sightings: 30 pound long-eared rabbits, a brown salamander that hung out with Mike while he rehearsed.
Best Rockstar moment: Fans who heard me in Banff 11 years ago came to their 2nd concert in Apledoorn,NL & cheered "at last you've come to my home town!".
Music played in the car: Mixed CDs that we were gifted (more please!)
Pledge we made to each other: No more white bread.
Your cousin and his friend..need to turn in their man cards with those shower curtain shirts! :-)
