Where are all of your friends?  You had so many!  I could have sworn I placed you all together in my foreign change cup.  It was practically overflowing.  I've got plenty of pounds sterling, about 8 Australian dollars, and even some krona from a far northern land.  Is it possible that I spent every Euro cent I had on the last month long tour and you are the only bit left?  No, this cannot be.

I'm going to need you to get on your wee cell phone and facebook and twitter and get your buddies collected on my countertop tomorrow since I'm leaving for the Netherlands, Holland, where all the Dutch people ride their boats to the North Sea.  I would like to buy a few beers for my friend, Quinten, and a pack of mints for my flight to the UK. You wont be of any use there, as we'll be playing four shows where they use the pounds sterling, or just 'p' as Dan and I like to call it. There was one time after a long tour that ended in London where I went around a hotel just for fun screaming 'WHERE IS ALL MY P???'  I found that very amusing, but Dan less so.  Still at least it wasn't like that guy at the hotel in Madison, WI who stumbled in drunk in the morning as we were leaving.  He was yelping about the hot 'mulatto' chick he had 'rooted' the night before.  Then he puked.  That was some kind of messed up.

Anyway, I beg of you, 50 cent Euro piece, after we leave the UK behind we will need you and your friends again when we go to Rome and Turin. I need you to get limoncello and nutella and probably buy something lovely and cheap and use a pay toilet at the AutoGrille and buy a Capri panini.

After that I promise promise promise that I will leave you alone until the next time I visit the EU.  I'm going to Israel, Tel Aviv, Middle East where they use the Shekels which sounds just so biblical and crazy to my mind I won't believe it until I have them in my hot little hand.

See you in the morning with the rest of the gang.  I'm counting on you.

Love, Kaki
