Today is our first day off, and we’re in our hotel/apartment in Manchester. I’m having what feels like my 37th cup of coffee of the day, and still feel like I’m underwater. I was appalled at how people push and rush to get in line for Ryan Air flights; I snapped at the...
early england
London to Leeds and a drive to Wales.

Ko + more
Amazing show in Middelburg + glimpses of new friends; on to the truly grand Le Grand Mix and the Radar festival in Tourcoing - live photos coming soon, if we ever get a moment.
Middelburg
Tonight we sleep, play, and eat in a building dating back to 1470. This place is staggering.
