1. Show at Dumont (Aachen, Germany). Great audience, great club, totally mad hang after the gig, great people. Thanks Armin, Skip, Chrit and everyone else!<\/p>\n

2. Show at Sazz’n Jazz – another beautiful venue and great audience. <\/p>\n

3. Frites with peppersaus (mayonnaise with a ton of black pepper) while killing time jetlagged in Haarlem waiting for our hotel room to be ready.<\/p>\n

4. Blasting “Immigrant Song” while driving into Aachen, Germany.<\/p>\n

5. Surviving insane Paris traffic- including a foray into the insane 6e arrondissement, and hair-raising roundabouts in general.<\/p>\n

6. Having the weak dollar work in our favor for once. <\/p>\n

7. Notre Dame gargoyles<\/p>\n

8. My Waterloo bullet.<\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/p>\n

9. Now that I think about it, all of the audiences were great- some were bigger than others, but the people were pretty uniformly great:
\n– Roman and friend, the Milanese and Dutch groups, and the guy who watched the door for us @ Tennessee Bar
\n– the older gentleman making weeping gestures during “Je Suis Venu Te Dire…”, and the couple who was ready to demonstrate “La Decadanse” @ Sazz’n Jazz
\n– the cool surdo player with the “eye” jacket at Buster
\n– Markus (friend of Skip and Armin from Aachen), Emmanuele and the young couple @ Les Cariatides.<\/p>\n

10. The people at the clubs were uniformly great- Kristof @ Bar Deco, Armin @ Dumont, Sifal @ Le Bab-ilo, Ali @ Sazz’n Jazz, and all the rest. Also the bartenders- most notably Skip @ Dumont, Bruno @ Les Cariatides, someone who’s name I didn’t get @ Tennessee Bar and Le Bab-ilo. <\/p>\n

11. Drinking a whole lot of amazing wine with our Belgium hosts, Frank and wife (dammit, her name escapes me at the moment!)<\/p>\n

12. Seeing my old friend from USC, Manuel Hermia, at his CD release in Brussels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
