Touring Tales With Ish

Dresden, Germany

Turns out you can fit an Aisha inside an upright bass hard case.

This happened almost exactly a week ago, but it feels so far away to me.  I'm writing you from Rome!  It's been cloudy and rainy and cold in Italy.  But food by the plenty and amazing hospitality is keeping us warm.  We played last night in an auditorium that was the most cathedral looking non-religious space I've ever seen.  Amazingly huge ceiling.  stone structure. pews. fantastic acoustics.  Oh, and it was built in the 14th century.

no biggie.

We had another epically long load in and soundcheck before walking across the street for a scrumptious  three course meal.  The Italians do it right.  

The show was good, people were excited (we think?  It's so hard to tell in such a huge room, sometimes), and we stayed in a cozy bed and breakfast in town.  The days are grey, not unlike my mood it seems.  But today we drove through miles and miles of mountains and they do some kind of refreshing work in me.  The inside of every rock club starts to feel the same.  Every European street outside the venue doors somehow follows suit.  But tonight I am in Rome.  And that's a thing to remember.
