So Europe has been amazing so far!

I’ve been living in Berlin somewhat couch surfing back and forth from the flats that Why? are renting. It’s been great catching up with them again. As much touring as they do, everyone seems to be in fairly good spirits.

I’ve already mixed 5 festivals, with only 2 more to go.

Obstweisen Festival – Dornstadt, Germany
Valkhof Affaire – Netherlands
Melt Festival – Gräfenhainichen, Germany
Dour Festival – Dour, Belgium
Midi Festival – Nice, France

3 Elephants Festival – Laval, France
Lok Pop Festival – Osnabruck, Germany

We’ve pretty much just been staying in Berlin and either flying or driving out to festivals on the weekends. The scenery has been beautiful, the food has been some of the best I’ve ever had, and the people have been extremely nice. The 3 Elephants Festival is tonight and should be a good one. Why? is following a band called TUNNG that I’ve heard a bunch about.

Why? has been kind enough to ask me to continue working for them throughout the 2nd US portion of the tour, so if any of you live in these cities, let me know and we can hang out for sure.
