I wonder whether a sleeping bag named Aspen is going to keep me warm, as there is a German idiom "zittern wie Espenlaub" ("shaking like a leaf".)
Lee Hazlewood dies, aged 78. May he always have enough summer wine, his silver spurs and a dollar and a dime wherever he is now. And only velvet mornings.
And the bands of the last day:
Today's bands:
I met Angus, doco, Lupo, SibSerag and thecrow_ at the Hauptmark tonight and we started by listening to the Amsterdam Klezmer Band. Klezmer-Gabber?! WTF?! Okay, not only that, but also classic Klezmer and Klezmer combined with Hiphop, House and Raggae elements. Basically, a Klezmer band plus the two DJs Cmon & Kypski. Weird but very good mix.
On the weekend, we had the second pawpet rehearsal. It was quite productive. With most of the important props and sound effects being ready we were able to fine-tune the timing and all the gags should work as intended. I'm already looking forward to the premiere, but we'll have another rehearsal weekend before that, and the dress rehearsal on Eurofurence of course.
...to update the map:
...but my luggage isn't, of course. Despite this, the rest of the trip was quite uneventful. I arrived shortly after 9 PM at my home, got a shower, made some tea and a deep-frozen pizza. And regarding Air France: as much as I loathe their ground personnel, I cannot stress enough that I really love the friendliness and competence of their flight crews. That, and their food of course.
