Hello again
What a weekend... djeeez! I just don't know where to start and I guess most has been said more than once already.
Most important thing for me about the Cologne Thing was the social side of the story. Meeting up with many, many of the old familiar faces always feels a bit like coming home after a long travel. I so much enjoy these kind of conversations: just picking up were we left off a year ago or even more. And let those Sisters be the soundtrack to that!
But there was also a flood of new people to meet and that was just as great

The pre-gig drink at this kiosk thing in the worst weather was brilliant: big German beers, funny talks and meeting some of the Poison Door people. Then back to the E-Werk which is a very nice venue... too bad it was completely overcrowded. Apparently the Palladium is right next door, is a lot bigger and was not used that night... Ah well, can't have it all can ye. After the gig lots of people found the way to the afterparty and once again too much people in one place, but that didn't stop the fun in any way!
Jürgen, thank you so much for the couch, tea, breakfast, etc! You're a wonderful host/dude
When I woke up the next morning, the hangover wasn't too bad, the weather cleared up perfectly and we had the road to Paris in front of us...
This has been a wonderful start for our own little Trans Europe Ex(c)(pr)ess!
