So, if anyone needs directions from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, I give you the following advice: while it looks like you can take a straight shot south and be there in a little over an hour by car, I highly recommend taking the scenic route by driving due east across the whole of Germany and into Poland, then make a U-turn and follow the route you just took.  It takes about 16 hours this way, but you get to go to the town of Szczecin and learn from the natives just how to pronounce it!

It's lovely to be here in Europe in the spring.  Really looking forward to playing in Poland for the first time as well as all of the other cities. (Hamburg, you know I have eyes for only you, but we have to keep our love affair a secret for now. Cologne is a jealous wild child and all hell will break loose if she finds out about us.)

I'm also thrilled to announce that I'm going to Sao Paulo, Brazil, this June 11 and 12.  I'm not sure what else I'm getting up to in South America but I'm sure it will be excellent fun.  Really excited.

Dan is waiting downstairs so we can hit the autobahn asap.  Love to all!
