Ok, I got the tickets. My brother didn't want to travel that far, so I had to ask a friend. She doesn't know you, but I'm sure she'll like it. And I showed her your myspace.

So I'll probably be there around 9. Should I ask somebody to see you, or will you be walking around or something?

BTW, I think its awesome you're playing the First Unitarian in Philly. It was designed by one of my favorite architects, Frank Furness.

Yeah, the First Unitarian Church is a rad place for shows. I'm surprised we haven't played there yet actually, but I'm looking forward to it.

By 9 I'll probably be around either watching the other bands or getting ready to play. The Paradiso has a complicated dressing room, it's kind of in the basement, so if I'm not around I'm probably there. I'll definitely be out and about though.

So do you want a small report or something?

A friend and me went to Amsterdam early, we got lost (but did not end up in the red light district), had a drink somewhere and went to Paradiso. We first walked around to see if Germy was somewhere to be found. He wasn't, so I told a woman at the reception that I was there to see one of the band members.
She asked me what my name was and I wondered if Germanator knew my irl first name. But I was the only one who was going to meet him, so I thought it wouldn't matter. I also hoped I remembered his first name right, Sam.

A few minutes later the woman got back with him. We talked about his tour, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, how long it had taken us to get there. How small and compact Holland is. How tired the whole band was and that they kept themselves going with espresso and beer.

The show was good, but I think the audience could have been a bit better at times. Like when the band told us that the following song was inspired by their last show in Paradiso (where we were).
Admittedly, some songs were better than others.

Oh, I LOVED how they kicked into Brown Boxes. First some unrecognizable guitar, then the epic kazoos. Awesome. I woohood.
I also supported Germy by asking for more of his frog sounds.

After they left, we wanted an encore so we kept clapping and cheering. Nothing came.

Bought both CDs from Germanator (who really is the errand boy), said goodbye.

Because of train delays, it took me 4 hours to get home.

Thank you!

Angrist agrees with me on Germy being the support/help.

Germy, what were your thoughts on the show in Paradiso, Amsterdam? And how was the rest of your Euro/UK tour?

I love the Paradiso and Amsterdam as a city. It's my third time there and I always have a good time. It's not even a drug thing because I'm not into that. I just like the lay out of the city and the bikes and the boats and the architecture...it's just neat.

Sure. I've never been to Bottom of the Hill but I don't think it'll be too hard to find you there. I just tell security that I demand to see Sam Hughes?
