government sponsored shows are the best
they have more money than they know what to do with so they pay us more than we're worth and the backstage spreads are overly generous

woah - people are actually buying our t-shirts today
secret?
female merch attendents
our driver/roadie/merchman Mike is gonna have to go drag for the rest of the tour

giussago - ortosonico
favorite venue in the world
small artist coop in a 200 yr old farmhouse surrounded by rice patties
GPS is freaking out - says we're in a lake
how people make it out to these shows is baffling but they do
i think they live in hobbit holes nearby

bolzano is in the mountains
no wonder these dudes made up Zeus
crazily old shit they got up in here, including a 5k yr old homosapien preserved in ice named Otsi
his digitally reconstructed face looks like David Duchovny (sp?)
we are walking in the clouds
or is that just Italian smog?
Otsi's ice-mummified flesh is well preserved, looking like a cured meet with slime on it
he's on the cover of 8 post-cards I am sending out to friends and family
if you are reading this it seems probable that you'll also get the post card
