Lausanne is where the Olympic committee likes to be. Our corrupt ham sandwich-faced mayor wants the 2016 Olympics in Chicago. It will leave a moon-sized crater of crime and garbage in the city while lining the pockets of his waddling, bloody-eyed pals. It would be a shame if Chicago’s image were to get tarnished.
It was a night of farewells. Our last European show with John and our last with Magnolia Electric Co. Goodbye friendly faces in strange places, goodbye built-in designated driver, goodbye endless supply of surprise snacks, goodbye dressing rooms, goodbye 500+ capacity venues, goodbye unique, childlike perspective, goodbye humorous tour manager and sound man.
Le Romandie is built into a bridge. It is in Lausanne. It is a hilly town. There is a lake. You do not have time to walk to the lake before soundcheck. But you can try. You will likely end up jogging around a park near the lake. It may feel good to run. The walk back up the hill will make you sweat. This is all you will see of the city.
“Is it for the girls?”
