since we landed in Dusseldorf. So far, we've:
1) Lost Joe (by way of his getting stuck on the wrong train and spirited off across Germany without a cell phone, money, or suitcase). He was found, two hours later, on a train platform miles away.
2) Had a (rather cordial) run in with the German police.
3) Picked up the van, the backline, the LPs, the sleeping bags and the earplugs (in bulk).
4) Landed at the first show – set to play in two hours.
We're sad to report that we have yet to burn off the jet lag, however.
