Danke Connor (Bellingham/ Berkeley)
for meeting me in a tiny village on the Rhine, even if it meant dragging
that bike straight up 1000 stairs, and the company in Mainz. Hope your bike
tour trip
in Eastern Europe was awesome. |

a little tiny village
one street long on the Rhine. The hostel was on a crazy hill. |

| Connor's birthday. Ghetto-style
celebration away from home: the cake is a cookies n cream Clif bar. |
   |
of course, a church holiday in
the middle of the week, no
bike rental places are open so we walk for hours, until we are all Mainzed
out. |

Southside Festival, Neuhausen Ob Eck, Germany |
 |
Me and 40,000 Germans. Ich
sprache keine Deutsch. |

Danke Eva (Germany) from the bus for letting me
ditch my backpack in her tent when I could put it nowhere else. |
 |
Danke Andrea (Munich) for company
and conversation in English at the Counting Crows show.
|
|
|
| Counting Crows - I'm
following them from Norwegian Wood? |
|
|
  |
"oh my god, you're
American! You speak English!", they said to me. Brendan Benson
and the Well Fed Boys (drummer is Matt)- I saw them at one of Brandi's random
free ticket hookup shows
at Bottom of the Hill in SF. Weird that they are playing in Germany. |
|
Danke all the random people whom I talked to throughout the sleepless
night after the
show at Southside Festival. |
| I think Counting
Crows are trying to gain a European presence, since in the u.s. it's not
going so hot for them lately. |
|
  |
Danke
Caroline (Australia/ England) for offering a place to crash after the
Radiohead
show. |
So the plan was to
just go, by myself or with whoever wants to, to see Radiohead. It wasn't so
bad, a coupla hours on the train, then no lockers to leave my bag at the
train station but nice people all around. Difficult to find tent where I
ditched my bag by night- rain-flies make tent different color, and no flying flags
during the night. But sleep was not
an option anyway. |

Danke Lebriz (Turkey/ Heidelberg) for hitching a ride to the
bus stop with me and watching my stuff while I ran back to the car, and
again, for English conversation after the first day of Festival campout. |
