With the invention of Myspace, it makes the band website kind of obsolete. I wonder if anyone even looks at these blogs anymore. I'd say I might be wasting my time, but I think if nothing else, when I'm 50 it'll be fun to go back and reread...assuming that these blogs are still there.

Anyway, we're in Europe again. This is SDS's 3rd tour across the pond. I can hardly believe it. Now if we can just figure out a way to get to Japan! We arrived a few days ago. Flew into London...the flight was fine, our steward looked like Ewan McGregor(yow!) and they played some good movies. We arrived at London Gatwick, then had to hang out for 5 hours until our flight to Amsterdam left. Finally, we arrived at Schipol Airport, managed to get to ourselves to our hotel, watched some Dutch MTV, then passed out. We fell asleep around 6pm, which meant that around 4:30AM, we were all wide awake. Definitely not the best method for getting over jetlag.

Our driver Jamie showed up around 8AM, but since she'd been driving all night, we just lounged around in the hotel for awhile to give her a chance to recooperate. Then it was off to Amsterdam, so Christina could experience a coffeeshop. It was really cold, so we didn't do much walking around...but at least everyone got to see all the bikes and canals. Then we headed to our first show in Amersfoort.

The show was good...everyone seemed to have a fun time, and luckily when Christina jumped off the stage, her knee didn't give out. We stayed with some guys in a band that we met, who were very nice, except when one got really drunk he started throwing beer bottles at Jamie's head. He had good intentions...he was just trying to tell her she could go upstairs to sleep...but it would have been bad news if his aim had been better.

We've played a couple more shows...both fun...and now we are in Rotterdam for a day off. I feel like we should go wander around and check out the city, but it is soooo cold, my body just wants to stay in my sleeping bag. Who's idea was it to come to Holland in January, anyway! We've got 5 more shows in The Netherlands, then we head to England. Maybe it'll be warmer there.
Stay tuned!
