Time to celebrate

I officially passed my master's exams and Brendan is officially free from his terrible old job!

this is how we used to feel

and this is how we feel now!

Wellington the ukulele

It would have been impossible for us to go on tour without any instruments. Luckily, Amazon sells bright red ukuleles for about $20. Meet Wellington, the Duke of Ukuleles.

"A youth hostel on rails."

Brendan and I are mostly taking trains from place to place this summer. By far the most interesting leg will be from Amsterdam to Berlin.

It will be overnight.

We will arrive in Berlin at 4:30 AM.

4:30 in the morning in a strange city we can handle. Sleeping in the top row of a submarine like sleeping compartment (because, of course we got the top row)? That's another story.

More info about what we can expect on the train here.

Bandcamp!

okay, I guess if I can find a way to upload songs from my Panasonic slim line tape player, and I ever get around to recording anything, than this is where I'll upload it

and if we are ever in the same location with all the stuff we need long enough to actually record something, than it'll go up here too
