The days are flying by....

Ok.. so i'm sitting here thinking about the past few days and it's really been a whirlwind. I'll attempt to spill the beans in the next few minutes.
I guess where we left off i was headed to Groningen (North Holland) to play in a pub. Took the train and had a crazy trip. I was supposed to get off to switch trains in Utrecht, but for some reason i didn't think i was there yet and stayed on the train. When i finally realized it.. i was like an hour further south! It sucked.. i mean... not the end of the world by any means, but i got to see more of the landscape than i had hoped for on this particular day. When i finally arrived, the city revitalized me with it's zeal. Nice place. Really a nice town. Got to the gig.. The people were excited and i felt like it was going to be a good evening. The night started out as usual... me warming up the crowd with some tried and true tunes.. then the mood started to flow. I made my way to the middle of the room to play a guitar solo and the crowd started going nuts.. i just remember that being the point of no return. It all went so fast.. before i knew it the gig was over and i was rushed with Merchandise sales.. it was really a killer time! I made my way back to my bed but first had to stop and and get what turned out to be an amazing pizza from one of the many all night snack shops in this crazy college town.
Next morning i woke up with the distinct taste of garlic and onions on my breathe.. yes people... i forgot to brush my teeth... i know i know.. gross. After a brisk cup of instant coffee i made my way down to the town square to check out the Saturday market. It was packed with every sort of person you could imagine. I was so lucky and stumbled upon some really good wurst and and then a great dutch cheese witch is really comparable to my favorite Swiss cheese, Guryere. Got some great deals and then made my way by train back to Amsterdam. It was really a shame to be such a short time in that town. Had lots of fun.
Spent most of Saturday night cleaning my flat and working on some tunes. Sunday rolled around and i got to spend part of the day with Edwin, the guy who designed all the T-shirts, Posters and Cd's for the tour. Really nice guy.. had a great time hanging out and he showed me a kick ass little bagel shop that has the best bagels and coffee that i've had so far in my Amsterdam experience. Really really good.. and reasonably priced as well. Sunday night i hopped on the train again and treked a few towns over to Hilversum where i was due to undergo an interesting challenge on Holland national radio. The station is called 3FM. I was the guest of the evening show and it was my Job to pick a song title from about 7 titles that people had sent, either by text from a cell phone or email, to the radio station. Then, once i picked the title that attracted me, i had one hour to then write the song. Honestly, i had no idea what to expect... but i went into it thinking " hey.. what can go wrong.. my song could suck!!" hahah.. talk about some pressure. I will be posting the link to show in the next few days. Keep a look out for it. It turned out amazing! I was done with the song in 35 minutes and the title was " Don't wear a mask ". A record, i was told. Great people.. great show. It was really fun.
After the show.. Sasko drove us back to Utrecht where we crashed and slept in a bit (as it was a late show) woke up and had a few hours of discussion over the business of music and where we are headed next. I'm really stoked about what's in store for the rest of this tour.. everyday is a crazy new experience. Much to love every one reading and thank you again for your support.
