hello... is there anyone there?

who knows if anyone shall read this. but we are in Berlin now. Karl Kunger strasse to be precise... and there is a river and a park and other things nearby... Felix, myself and Ede are here with Ede's family too. Sam is in London for a couple of days and Rob and Reyahn are in New Zealand till the end of the month.. Our first show is on the 4th of June..
Anyway, so Ed was suspected of swine flu and just about didnt get through customs in Seoul. Everyone got their temperature checked and his was high.
THey then stuck a swab up his nose and collected some of his bogies. it was pretty weird, but in Ed's words 'Righteous' or 'Groovy' . He was touch and go, maybe because he was wearing a GnR Appetite For Destruction t- shirt they let him slide.
Anyway, have walked around Berlin today and my feet sting now. There is a castle in the city, well it looks like a castle. In fact it looks like the one where the child catcher takes the children to lock up in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I met up with Dave Curran, the Irish fella who lives here and has been helping us book shows. we walked around looking at venues and sifting through old decrepit art spaces which was amazing. i had too much coffee and now feel like a 'weird' .
Pretty good.
Felix has gone out to an art exhibition. I am picking he may come back with a mostache and a beret in a few days.
No real news. What a great first blog. Long may it last.
