Italy

Note to self: avoid 11 hour night trains wherever possible! The trip from Konstanz in Germany to Modena Italy via Zurich and Bologna was a very forgettable one!! but i arrived in one piece on sunday at 7 a.m - feeling positively mullered.
the show last night, in Parma was my first ever on home soil and was alot of fun - although i think i made the audience a little nervous when i said this was my first ever show in italy - as i was speaking to them in italian, and oddly enough , found it quite easy, and they knew nothing about me, they were a bit confused with the whole affair. as in , what's your story & what rock have you all of a sudden come out of hiding from. but they dug the show - the two "how good the show was" indicators were both positive - no one heading to the bar and (almost) no one talking through the set. and in keeping with the theme of all things new, i threw in a couple of brand new tunes i'd never played before. to my ears, it seemed like they were enjoyed the most. The promoter bringing out a tray of lasagne and wine after the gig was, although extremely kind and a heartfelt warm gesture; a moment of such italian-ness that it made me giggle a little. genius ;) A brief "pilgrimage" to Correggio this morning and then glorious sleep..that i've missed for a while now. No show tonight, more tomorrow.
ciao
