I am now in Singapore after a very long flight. Lucas dropped me off at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam 2 hours early for my flight…which eventually left almost 6.5 hours later than scheduled. We had to make a stop in Bangkok on the way in order to change the crew who had been on the plane for so long. The last few days in Amsterdam were excellent. On Thursday, Q and Not U (dischord records) opened up for the spirit that guides us in Rotterdam. Lucas, Diana, and I went to see the hott rokk. On Friday, Dorien and Lodevijk stopped over to have brunch with us, then Lucas and I went to Dordrecht to see Brother Danielson (in the tree with fruit), June Panic, and Scout Niblett. It was great to see Daniel in another country. The show’s atmosphere wasn’t the most ideal for these fairly quiet acoustic performances, but it was a good night all the same. I was quite shocked by the way Scout attacked a drum set during the first songs of her performance since her full-length on Secretly Canadian (in the US) isn’t so very loud and intimidating. The three performers each played two sets of 4 or 5 songs and rotated so that we could get a nice variety. It was a great show concept. I’ll be working on some album artwork this week and awaiting Brandtson to arrive on Sunday.
Oh yeah, a belated happy thanksgiving…
